Things I Won't Miss

When I'm at goal, the things I won't miss are:

My low self esteem.
Matronly clothes designed by the son of Omar The Tentmaker.
Not enough water in the bathtub because I've displaced it all.
Bath towels that are not big enough to overlap.
My apron.

What won't you guys miss when you're at goal weight?

Things I won't miss...

Hiding from the camera at friends weddings/parties and even normal events.
Hiding my BELLY... under clothes
Looking in a mirror and cringing
Being too to paddle in a pool with my daughter in a park or at the seaside.
Not being able to run for a bus.. and knowing everyone looking knows it's cause I'm fat..
Being embarrassed to eat in public..
Paying more for my clothes in an outsize shop..and having less up to date fashion choices because of my size.
Being out of breath..

Me too! All of the above for sure and the rest.

Like being too to walk across or into a room with other people in it.

The paranoia - assuming that everyone else is talking about the size of me and them being horrified by me.

Refusing invitations to go anywhere because I really don't have anything to wear cos nothing fits.

These are just off the top of my head right now.

I definently won't miss my saddle bags.

Ditto everyone's comments.

Feeling shy in bed.
My husband struggling to reach my butt to squeeze when we're hugging.
Feeling like an elevator or our boat sinks very noticeably (Sp?) when I get in them.
I will not miss that scary feeling at school assemblies that I might be picked to dance or do something silly in front of all the students and teachers as happens sometimes.

Thank God I'm past the phase of worrying about whether or not I could get a seatbelt around me although some airline seats still might give me a struggle.

Things I won't miss:

talking about muscle mass that no one can see 8)
giving advice that I did not/was not following
misguided efforts with no results
having my belly cover up my lap when I sit
picking shirts that cover my belly and only make it look bigger
having to unbutton my jeans after even a small meal
wearing a T-shirt to the beach over my swim suit
worrying about what people are thinking/saying as I walk by

[RckyMtHigh]

I definitely won't miss the women's plus size section and those awful, shapeless clothes!

Things I won't miss:

What everyone else said. And being "the fat one"

[L.T. Strife]

Health risks!
Feeling bad for people sitting next to me.
Avoiding booths at restaurants because I didn't fit in them.
Not participating in things
Being mistaken for a guy.
Being abnormal.

And all the stuff mentioned above.

[Lexi's Omi]

I won't miss:
-Worrying about developing heart disease and diabetes, both run in the family
-Running out of breath on the stairs
-Aching knees.
-'Fat' clothes.
-Not having any energy.
-THE FAT!

[Jonathan]

All the above.

The dark, sweaty, and often smelly parts of my body that rarely see the light. ( fears the loose skin thing though )

Only being able to sleep on my back or my side, but never never on my belly.

I can't wait.

Can I say what I don't miss and hope to continue not missing?


I don't miss feeling frustrated because of the lask of confidence.
I don't miss being at soccer practice for my 4 year old and the other mother's ignoring me.
I don't miss getting tired just walking from one end of the field to the other.
I don't miss being the depressed one when we hang out with our friends.
I don't miss being unhappy watching pretty girls running across my TV screen while I stuff my face.

What I did miss was me. Funny thing is that I have never known this me. And I can't wait for all of you to meet yourselves. The real you. And discover that it isn't our weight that makes us who we are. I don't quite know how to explain it. I just know now that I was here all along and the things that I would chastise myself over because I was fat(but didn't Know it) don't really amount to a hill of beans. Life is wonderful. ANd I missed that for so many years.

Things I don't miss:

1) Antonio Banderas movies
2) Making excuses why we don't visit ppl
3) Buying a new belt every 2 months (larger that is)
4) The grand canyon in the middle of the mattress
5) And most of all See #1

[L.T. Strife]

Oh I forgot about the ignorning thing, Susanna.

I won't miss being in line at the grocery store and watching the checker talk to everyone in front of me, then talk to the person behind me while checking out my groceries.

[Lexi's Omi]

Never have had that happen L.T., but have had some 'looks'. I can't believe how rude people can be. Kids you sort of expect it.. but there is just no excuse for so-called 'adults' to act that way.
