Is not caring what I ate or drank even though it was beyond bad for me .
I've educated my brain to know calories and healthy eating and even though I would quite like some chocolate right now and have enough calories for it I'm thinking of all the pizza I consumed yesterday that needs to be worked off still

Not sure if having less options while clothes shopping was what made it easier but shopping now is depressing. The shopping mall depresses me, I feel short and really small and when someone suggest the kids department it's a wrap

I miss the fat that rounded out my kneecaps making it easier to shave.0

I'm still obese..
But yeah, i'll have to go with not worrying about calories.. At the same time i wish i'd cared sooner.. It's a bigger deal than people know.
Meh, we're working on it now.
I miss copius amounts of chocolate. Lol0 -
Every chair in the world became less comfortable without the natural padding I was carrying with me.0

I have pillows everywhere at home. I'm often tempted to carry one with me when I'm out and about.rankinsect wrote: »Every chair in the world became less comfortable without the natural padding I was carrying with me.
I miss the padding between my knees that let me sleep on my side without my back/hips hurting. I've had to get pillows to keep between my knees while I'm sleeping.0 -

No, I get it my thing is that men left me alone when I'm just trying to have a drink or go grocery shopping or whatever, I miss that.0 -

Potato chips. I miss potato chips. Those little snack size bags just dont cut it. I mean, what's the point....0

I miss Ben and Jerrys ice cream, I used to demolish tubs of that!0

Huh? I miss absolutely nothing. I am thrilled to be pain free and able to MOVE. All else pales in comparison.0

I look forward to NOT being obese soon. What will I miss?? It won't be the rude stares or giggles at my expense. Perhaps I'll miss NOT being able to tell people to mind their own business!!

I miss my bigger boobs.0

Not exercising because I didn't want to, not because I injured myself.0

Blissful ignorance of having an ED.
Other than that, not getting winded while walking to the other end of my house is awesome0 -
Being lazy (not exercising). Not caring, knowing I was overweight. Eating whatever I wanted too eat. These are the things, I miss.0 -
Being able to sleep comfortably without knee bones hitting each other. Had to find new sleeping positions... Same with being able to sit somewhere longer than 10 minutes without having a sore butt (and I still have some padding there, just not enough, apparently).
Not caring at all if I had a busy day and no time for a workout. Who cared about working out anyway?
And yeah, being able to eat whatever and how much I liked without feeling guilty at all. Now even if I have a 'cheat' (like special events or birthdays) when I don't care about calories, I'm perfectly aware that I'll still have to work them off sooner or later, and it does put quite a damper on things...
Mostly though, being able to enjoy eating out. Now I can't just go out for dinner if it's not planned because I won't have the calories for it, and I have to take into account calories when I order, and more often than not, it makes me frustrated because what I want probably has too many calories, and the healthier options are not appealing at all (or something I could just make at home, so why even bother going out?).

& when the person, can't deal; with being rejected because that problem, comes along; with it?0 -
Miss- Being warmer, my butt not hurting from sitting too long, being more sedentary
The advantages of getting closer to a healthy weight completely overshadow those 3 things so I don't really miss them.0 -
I'm still obese but not as much as I was and still working on it... however I would have to say I miss being able to eat whatever without worry about what was in it or how it effected my health. I am happy now, though, that I do see what is in what I eat because not doing so is why I am where I am/was.0

This. Eating out used to be a big source of pleasure and now it's a lot less pleasurable because I know it will either come a higher cost than I want or I will have to forego eating what I really want on the menu.
Um, even as I say this, though, I realize I have learned how to enjoy lots of different kinds of foods at restaurants that are actually more satisfying than what I used to order in the past. I always wondered why I felt kind of bad after eating a huge plate of fetuccine alfredo with a side of bread! Lol.

Yeah I've noticed the same thing. I've been blown away by some things I wouldn't necessarily have picked before, and 99% of the time the high calorie stuff doesn't really appeal to me anymore anyway.0 -
Nothing. I don't miss any of it. I don't miss the pain, I don't miss the falling down from lack of balance because of the weight, I don't miss stuffing myself with food to uncomfortable levels, I don't miss not being able to find anything that fits, I don't miss the shortness of breath, I don't miss the negative feelings or attitude I had towards myself, I don't miss the health concerns... none of it.0

I perpetually have 8 long hairs in each arm pit because my razor cannot cut them. I'm desperate enough to ask my husband to shave them for me.
I'm with the people who miss eating whatever and however much I wanted. I still love eating out, but everything has numbers attached instead of tastes good.0
