    :laugh: :laugh: Love this thread!

    And aside from eating what I want and not obsessing about it, I don't think I'll miss anything about it! :laugh:

    LOL!! I miss the hours of quality time with my couch and TV.

    This one! And probably eating whatever I wanted when I wanted. I like food. Even if I was to only take a bite of most foods I used to eat I'd probably be over my calories :0/

    Honestly I don't know that I'll miss being overweight as much as I'll miss being thoughtless about my health. I love the way I feel and look now so there is no way I'll go back but I will miss being able to push reality away and pretend what I'm doing is ok or doesn't matter.

    I will miss nothing, not the pain in my legs and in my back, not the no energy feeling, not the "omg you're pregnant" or "this is for the baby" while i'm clearly not pregnant. I don't mind my boobs shrinking a bit, DD is kind of big....

    maybe i'll miss all my all you can eat moments, but I know they are not mentally and physically healthy, so i'm good with it.
    OH MAN....Do I know what you mean....about the false pregnancy scare! I got that alot...."are you pregnant?"....Yeah Im pregnant If you can have a double bacon cheesburger Baby!!! Ill be due in about an hour or two....but it wont be cute!

    Worst is that roundness comes mostly from my lactose intolerance (which I just figured not too long ago). I always tell my friends that i've been pregnant for at least the last 10 years, should get out eventually lol

    Hey I admit I have been guilty early on in this journey and taking a bite of some delishiousness only to spit it out bcause I didnt want the calories....but Ive matured since then....BUT I did it!

    Eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and being totally oblivious as to what it was doing to my body. Not thinking about calories or nothin'. Just enjoying the food -- the nice creamy processed kind.

    Amen. If ignorance was bliss that is what I will miss most. Not caring a thing about scarfing down jelly donuts whenever they came my way. I of course NEVER bought them - just knocked everyone out of my way so I could get there first! Now that I am no longer ignorant I have a hard time allowing myself to even drink a diet soda. I used to love the super big gulps! I have a difficult time allowing myself to eat anything that I know has high fructose corn syrup in it or even corn syrup in it. I just don't want to do that to myself anymore!

    Unfortunately I still get the applause when I run down the hall, but I am hoping for the cheering section to go away over time! = D

    I still occasional get surprised by a random a short burst of applause during my Zumba Class, but I just keep on moving...shamelessly I let everyone know the applause was for me...no need to be alarmed!

    Thank you so much for this thread I really needed a good laugh and I definetly got it from reading all the post.

    I miss my clothes and shoes! I don't miss the big girl styles just the amount that I had, since I had been big for so long I had lots of clothes now that I have lost I don't have hardly any and have to do laundry more often. However, I have not met goal so I am not shopping until I do!

    This is such a cute thread....
    What I miss about being over weight....

    Before: The thought that pops into my head is that at night if I wanted food and it was almost bedtime that I would just eat what I wanted when I wanted it. Mostly I remember Chocolate malts!

    Now, besides not eating after supper time, I eat just about what ever I want, when I want it - Just that What I want has to be healthy for me and When I want it has to be no more than every 2-3 hours. Chocolate Malts now are Protein Shakes -- and I get one for Breakfast! (How cool is that...a chocolate Malt for breakfast!)
