    I won't miss:
    • being asked when I'm due
    • other people's kids telling me, "You're fat."
    • other people's kids asking me, "why are you fat?"
    • Looks from people when I walk into a restaurant
    • the seatbelt being too tight
    • the seat in the car being pushed back so far my feet can barely reach the peddles.
    • my belly not competing with the steering wheel
    • people telling me I sound winded after going up the stairs
    • looks when I go in the gym
    • my siblings and mother asking questions about what I'm doing to lose weight, and then wanting to go do the cabbage soup diet (you'd think that losing 77 pounds would give me SOME credibility)
    That's just for starters! LOL

    I won't miss:

    - Man Boobs
    - Not being able to put my socks on without sitting down and using the floor as a "lever" to jam my leg into my gut so I can actually get the sock over my toes
    - Staring at my two beautiful Italian suits hanging in my closet, and mentally kicking myself since I can't wear them anymore since I got too fat
    - Dress shirts with distended wrinkles around the buttons in the "belly" area
    - Feeling like garbage at night when tossing and turning after eating way too much
    - Suffering from an acute case of "DickeyDoo" (when your belly hangs out more than your d***ie doo) :-)

    I won't miss:
    Being as slow as I am right now when running
    Chafing
    Feeling stuffed in my work pants
    Snoring as loudly as I do now
  • I wish there were LIKE buttons! I would like and relate to all of these commentsexcept the Dickey Doo, which is a riot. I do have a Boob rest, it is my upper stomach. I won't miss two tummies one on top and one under with a distinct line between. Years of tight pants caused that I am sure LOL. I look at my list everyday and it helps me stay committed!!

    My pants cutting my one fat roll into two fat rolls. It will be nice when I sit down and my pants are flush with my stomach.

    All of these "I won't miss". It is sad that we did this to ourselves. For me, I won't miss the uncomfortable plane rides, the contorting to wipe my @ss, the crotch stink, the out of breath when taking a shower

    sucking in my stomach!!!
  • I won't miss people asking me if I'm pregnant.
  • I won't miss the feeling like I'm living half a life <3

    I won't miss the thinly veiled superiority others generate towards me, as if being fat equates.to a low IQ. The "glazed" ignore look people get when they see me.

    I won't miss not living life, hiding and not wanting to attend functions or get-togethers. Not having a significant other because I won't put myself out there. I won't miss the specialty stores where I buy my clothes and although I am the size of 2 people; I wont miss feeling like half of one. I won't miss the negative self talk I have inflicted on myself and hating my own reflection. I won't miss the way I feel trapped in this completely out of shape body, how exercise in any form, even walking is exhausting and painful. I won't miss the looks of disgust on the faces of people around me. I won't miss feeling so much anger and shame.

    I won't miss:

    - spending $100 a month on medicine and taking a fistful of pills daily
    - being worried about fitting in seats (airplanes, amusement parks, movies)
    - being too self concious to get out and meet new people
    - being in pain anytime I'm awake
    - overhearing snide remarks and seeing the looks
    - having to pay extra to buy clothes that fit in the big and tall stores
    - needing several breaks just to do simple household chores
    - sweating after a short walk and wondering if I look/smell as nasty as it makes me feel

    Joint pain, for sure... That and not being able to lay on my back because of breathing issues. I don't have sleep apnea (sp?) yet, but I'm borderline...
  • Shopping online for clothes.
    Being uncomfortable on plane rides.
    The low self esteem.
  • I won't miss deep breathing when walking or even going up the stairs, I won't miss seeing myself hurt everyday because of the number on the scale, I won't miss crying every night over what I regret eating, I won't miss this stomach

    I wont miss feeling so self conscious that i cant leave the house or make any friends. Because i know all they think she is a fat girl who wears ugly clothes.
    I wont miss feeling jealous of all the girls who i see on a night out enjoying themselves, when i know i can never have that cause i am to fat.
    and i wont miss knowing no guy will ever like me cause i am fat, which also makes me self conscious, and quiet and never join in.

    I won't miss:

    -living in black leggings, smock tops/dresses & big cardigans
    -being asked when my baby is due (my kids are aged 5 and 7!!!)
    -belly overhang
    -back/armpit fat over my bra straps
    -chub rub on the upper thighs/arms
    -thin people saying 'Just eat less and move more'...gggrrrrr!
    -my mother's backhanded compliments (eg, you have lovely skin - mind you, you don't get wrinkles in a balloon' or 'you have a nice shape from behind....there just needs to be less of you', etc)
    -being heavier than my 5'11" husband (I'm 5'5")
    -the bitchy yummy mummies looking me up and down with obvious disgust when I drop off/collect my kids at school
    -having to strategically place my kids in front of me to hide my belly in photos
    -people saying 'well done you' in a really patronising way when I'm in my running gear
    -red marks on my skin from where waistbands have dug in
    -lack of visible facial bone structure
    -the look I see in people's eyes when they see my handsome, slim & slightly younger (by 3 years) husband with me
    -being the funny fat girl who puts herself down to make others laugh
  • I can relate to almost all of these!! I find it horrid that we all feel this way! Lets just keep this list going to remind ourselves of why we need to keep working at it! Someone said " Nothing tastes as good as slim feels" That is my motto now but of course I can think of a lot of things that taste pretty damn good, but I am not slim yet so I will just have to try and find out!

    Love this thread. I have to say things I miss from being fit.. Being told I'm gorgeous, beautiful, sexy. No one looks at me anymore. No one compliments me. I miss my energy.

    What I won't miss: my pants cutting into my stomach, being disappointed every time I try something on, dreading summer because my legs are too fat for shorts or a swimsuit, not being taken out to dinner by my SO since he wants me to lose weight. I didn't even get birthday cake on my birthday because 'she needs to lose weight' I won't miss my belly fat or how aware I am of it. I won't miss taking 30 minutes to decide which shirt will hide my fat the best. I won't miss stressing about my High school reunion next year, I was a model in high school so I feel a lot of pressure to be fit again.

    I definitely won't miss my Muffin Top and back fat.... You know that wonderful bra roll you just can't hide :s. My dream is never having to get my exercise by dancing around, jumping up and down and squeezing into those dang shaper/hold it in and fool no one torture devices! Because of course the fat just oozes out somewhere else LOL

    I won't miss the disappointment I feel for letting myself go after taking the weight off and the negative body image that goes w it.
