I am just starting my change...I started to think, what are all the things I have put up with because I gained so much weight. My list keeps me going!

I won't miss:

Chaffing~
The walk that comes with chaffing (waddling as fast as I could to find baby powder)
The inability to see my toes in the shower
Chaffing~
Stubbing my toes in the dark so I won't be seen naked by my husband when getting into bed.
Chaffing~
My Cpap machine
Taking up more than half the seat in the golf cart
Wearing ugly clothes
Chaffing~
Not having any pictures of me with my kids

oh it goes on and on....

What won't you miss?

    I wont miss feeling awkward... not being able to wear the clothes I want to wear... when sitting in the car feeling my back take up the whole seat and know that part of me is not resting against the seat... its stupid but it bothers me... I wont miss not being able to run and play with my nephews/nieces because I'm out of breath... I wont miss not wanting to go to the beach (when i live 5 mins from it) because I dont want anyone to see me... I wont miss my knees hurting.... i can come up with a HUGE list are you kidding me? lol

    I won't miss being depressed every time I go shopping because nothing fits me right or I have to go up a size. I won't miss not being able to buy cutesy little clothes. I won't miss avoiding people and activities because I'm self conscious about my weight. I won't miss looking at other girls and wishing I looked like that. I won't miss being winded. I won't miss hating my pictures. I won't miss the XL tag in my clothes. I won't miss my back hurting. I won't miss looking in the mirror and saying, "ugh!" Lots of things!!! Lots of things I am looking forward too. ;)

    I won't miss being self conscious about being naked or having sex with my fiance (lord knows I love the exercise haha!) I won't miss being embarrassed to exercise in front of other people cause i'm breathing to loudly or having to stop moving because i'm tired. I won't miss being worried about pictures being taken.

    WOO go weightloss!

    I won't miss being winded from walking up stairs; the mark around my waist from tight pants; the inner thighs of my pants wearing our fast; struggling to paint my toe nails; not feeling sexy when intimate; not believing my husband when he tells me I'm beautiful; not finding cute clothes in the big girl section; hiding behind someone in pictures and so much more!

    My thighs burning through jeans from the chub-rub.
    Not being able to wear dresses without leggings for the same reason.
    The roll of fat under my belly button making all clothing fit weird.
    The 'shelf' butt.
    Hating the way I look in pictures.
    Being the 'fat' mom.
    I could go on........but I won't ;)

    I definitely won't miss

    - wearing tights under a dress or skirt thanks to my thighs running
    - Going through denim shorts that wear out in the legs thanks to my thighs running
    - Seeing my fat dimpled butt in the mirror after showering
    - The red marks from my clothes
    - People thinking in pregnant
    - Being so unbelievably unfit
    - Getting upset at the fact that nothing fits me.
    - Getting annoyed at the fact that if you are over a size 14 in Australia you must have big boobs
    - Chaffing in between my thighs
    - Hearing snide remarks like
    - oh seriously? A salad isn't gonna help your fat *kitten*
    - Do you really want that <insert yummy but naughty food >, aren't you fat enough?

    I won't miss needing to shop at specialty stores for plus size ladies.
    I want to be able to walk in to Kohls, old navy, Walmart, Target, ect.... And be able to find my size.

    Just the other day I received a catalogue in the mail for plus sized women. Seriously. Did someone on the world wide web track what size clothes I purchased recently and target me in that way? I will not miss that.

    I won't miss my aching back or knees, or feeling self-conscious every time I leave the house because of a double chin. I won't miss losing out on jobs because a healthier version of me is more appealing. I won't miss the double digit jean sizes.

    I'm not huge (UK size 14, US10) but I miss my pre-pregnancy size and I won't miss feeling self-conscious and I won't miss the muffin top in my jeans.

    I will not miss everyone assuming that I want the last piece of pie, pizza, or whatever is left! I won't miss aching knees. I won't miss the bullying. I won't miss the specialty stores. I won't miss feeling out of place and looked down upon. So many things I WON'T MISS!

    -I won't miss the looks I get from people when they see me for the first time in a while and realize, wow, she got fat again.
    -I won't miss sucking it in to zipper my coat and praying the zipper doesn't bust if I move the wrong way.
    -I won't miss feeling embarrassed and awkward at the gym being around all these lean and fit people.
    -I won't miss constantly feeling like I have to adjust my clothes somehow thinking people won't notice my fat rolls.
    -I won't miss feeling super self conscious being naked or even in my underwear around my husband.
    -I won't miss feeling like I'm going to throw up and getting short winded just putting on my sneakers to work out.
    Nope won't miss these things one little bit!

    I feel like this is me. I don't have any kids, but I'm not that big either, a size 8. But I won't miss the muffin top at all.

    I am not nor was never huge (got up to a UK size 14 as well), but nonetheless...

    - thighs rubbing against each other in summer
    - feeling rolls when I sit down or lie down, in positions where I used to never have rolls (nothing against rolls per se, everyone, even the thinness, have some of those, but I personally found them uncomfortable the minute they appeared)
    - not fitting in my jeans
    - jeans breaking due to thighs rubbing
    - having to adjust tight dresses so you could not see the bulge around my hips
    - those weird micro love handles

    What I already don't miss:

    - that slight bulge my stomach made on clothes that were supposed to be worn loose (gone! :D)
    - muffin top in my back with bandeau and bustier clothes (almost all gone! :D)

    For some reason this is the post that has made me the most motivated. This is the one that has made me cry.

    I won't miss weighing more than my husband ( shh he still doesn't know)
    I won't miss being too embarrassed to post pictures or use my face book account b/c I don't want anyone from high school to see me.
    I won't miss feeling awkward in front of my kids friends parents.

    I know I will probably never look great in a two piece. But I'm tired of burning up all summer b/c I'm too fat for shorts. I live in tx!

    I think I need to write this list down and put it on my bathroom mirror or better yet on the fridge.

    All of the above :|

    I won't miss the way I think about myself because of my weight (I've got quite the negative view of myself because of it); I won't miss being insecure; I won't miss my anxiety attacks because of thinking that people laugh at me or look at me funny because I'm bigger than them. I won't miss my current self at all.

    My shorts riding up between my thighs in the summer.
    The sweaty chafing
    Skin flopping over on my belly and touching other skin.
    My upper arms not being able to squeeze into sleeves.

    I won't miss wearing my husband's t-shirts because mine are all skin tight.

    I won't miss being the fat one in the family. Going through everything in my closet for family events and realizing, again and again, that it doesn't matter what I wear, I still look like crap.

    I won't miss being embarrassed doing yard work in the front yard, sitting out while the kids run around.

    I won't miss always comparing myself with others.
