Worst part of losing weight?

For me it's having my calorie amounts go down. I just changed my weight on here and get to eat almost 100 calories less a day. And of course the same workouts give me a smaller calorie burn, so that's less to eat.
I like to eat. A lot. lol I set my goal at 1/2lb a week to lose so that I can eat as much as possible. So anytime I have to go down in calories it sucks. Oh well for now I still get 1700 a day and with working out I average around 2000. I would be a lot happier at like 2500-3000. Like I said, I really like to eat. Too bad I'm a 5'2" woman.
Anyway, is there anything you don't like about losing weight?

Buying clothes. When I was bigger I thought that buying clothes would be easier and more fun when I was smaller. I still hate clothes shopping and still struggle to find clothes that suit me and fit properly16

A little with the saggy skin, but donating perfectly good clothes because they're too big bugs me a lot, would rather wear them out. Although buying some new smaller sizes is rather ego boosting and satisfying:)13

My issues is that I can't wear the one dress shirt that I got lots of compliments on, and I don't want to buy another yet until I lose another 25 lbs. So it's back to golf shirts from Value Village for a while.6 -
Not drinking as much wine as I would like without sacrificing my nutrition.
I kid folks I kid:)11 -
Replacing clothes. It's gets super expensive really fast, especially when you have to replace underwear, bras, coats, and shoes (yeah, your feet get smaller) I addition to tops and pants.10

Like everyone has said - replacing clothes. I nevr thought that I would see size 12 ever again. So I threw everything out or gave it to charity. So, eBay is my friend these days. I don't have a lot of time / energy to shop and I like nice clothing. So, I search for stuff based on waist size and inseam and from brands that I know fit me well. Also, I buy my shoes on eBay - I like a certain brand and style and it's super expensive new. But, generally i can find it on eBay for a fraction of what it sells new. Ans, over time, I have the shoe in every color.0

Cutting back calories, I love to eat and most of my social life is revolved around trying new restaraunts, food trucks,etc6

This might be an odd one, but I don't know if it's just that I'm more confident or it actually has to do with looks. But since I started my fitness journey, I have had to deal with many aggressive males. I've been sexually assaulted in a bar, followed in dark areas, etc. This never happened before, so I can't really figure out what to attribute it to. Either way, I really hate it because I don't like being fearful of places or people.22

Neither of you should "have to" but have you ever thought about doing Krav Maga or a similar self defense oriented martial art? It really helps with the confidence, and also so that you don't carry yourself like a victim. I've never been followed or attacked in any way despite traveling and being out on my own a lot. I think that has a lot to do with how aware I am, the calm eye contact I make, etc...9 -

Sorry, you lost me at "carrying yourself as a victim." But yes, I have taken self-defense classes. That has nothing to do with it. But I'm glad you haven't encountered this.

I had someone try to abduct me at a bar once when I was 120. I forgot how nice being a little heavier is until I got cat called in my parking lot yesterday.0 -
The best and worst part for me was knowing how it works. Once you know, there's no excuse and you are 100% accountable. Ignorance was bliss at one point when I had a bad metabolism, unlucky genetics or whatever else I told myself. That was the psychological hard part of losing weight for me16
