    I'm in on the pillow thing too. To live without the knees and hips getting in the way. Also. Eating cake without a second thought. I never felt guilt on eating, before I lost the weight.. So I think going out to a fancy tea house and having a over the top cake with a full fat milkshake!

    The Chubby Invisibility cloak has its good and bad side. It is nice to walk into a room and just observe and be left alone when you are overweight...

    ^I agree. I had to adjust my self-view when I lost weight and not get hostile myself - It took a while to realize the attention was positive.

    The food and amount you might eat, it still tastes nice and always will.

    Just not exercising any self control.

    I desperately miss sleeping comfortably. It seems no matter what I do now I wake up aching.

    I was going to say "excuses", because I used to have all sorts of excuses for not doing stuff, because I was fat. But I deleted that, because I don't miss having excuses.


    My boobs are kind of floppy though. that's sad.

    I miss having a fuller bottom like Kim Kardashian...now that I'm a lot smaller 80lbs it's not as round.

    I miss being able to eat without family gawking/commenting in amazement...I have a healthy appetite

    I miss how no one commented on my weight when I was heavier

    As nice as it was to not be constantly mindful of what I'm putting in my mouth and to eat what I felt like eating at pretty much any time, I don't miss it. There's something that's so confidence-boosting when you actually control what you're eating--when your brain says "ya know, not going to have that second and third slice of pizza"--that doesn't happen with me when I didn't control my food. The rationalizations I made while shoving X and Y into my mouth started to just. get. me. down.

    Even though that very first meal on the very first day of my losing-weight journey I didn't weigh an ounce less than I did the day before, when I tracked my food and said "no" to just a couple things--the confidence just started building and building--and hasn't stopped. The confidence was way more addicting than my desire to eat something massive, rationalize it, and feel guilty afterwards.

    I'll take THAT any day over whatever 2nd or 3rd, or even 1st, thing I might have missed.

    There were a few nice clothes I had when I was 75 pounds heavier that now I just had to give away....maybe that, but I can deal!

    I understand!

    Also I have a pair of really cute knee-high leather boots that are too big and made for wide calves. I lost 2 shoe sizes and tons of inches in my calves. I just can't give them away just yet, but I will one day...I hope!

    This may seem a little rough, but...

    Walking down a Manhattan or Brooklyn street, and when someone is walking on the wrong side, rude, or just oblivious; or a group of six across rufusing to allow me to pass; having the bulk to send another person to the ground. Now it's I who's going to likely end up there.

    I can only think of one thing.. Not caring a bit about how I look. :blush:
    Now I'm starting to care again and I'm not used to it anymore. Haha.

    I still have a long way to go but I miss not being constantly harassed. It's always happened to me from my early teens, then I gained a lot of weight and it petered out to just the odd catcall but the more I lose the more it's ramping up again. Catcalled from cars, vans, on the street, at the supermarket and it's honestly tiresome.

    That and constantly pigging out on my favourite foods! But I actually feel a lot better being in control of myself in that respect.

    I don't miss anything about being fat. But it's definitely harder to stay thin.
