I will NOT miss walking up the stairs at work and having to talk to someone while I'm out of breath, knowing they can tell I'm having a hard time communicating
I will NOT miss feeling like a fat *** for taking an elevator (it always feels like the other people on there feel like I should be taking the stairs)
I will NOT miss the stares I get when I walk into a normal size clothes store (usually I'm shopping for a gift, but its so obvious nothing there will fit me)
I will NOT miss all the comments of: "You would be so much prettier if you lost a few pounds" and "Your face is so pretty"
I will NOT miss being the fattest person in the room
I will NOT miss the stares I get from smaller people when I am in the grocery store buying junk food for my hubby...the stares in the cart are REAL people!
I will NOT miss avoiding all mirrors, reflections of myself, or anything that will give me a glimpse of how I have let myself go...
AND HERES A SHOCKER:
I WILL miss shopping a torrid.com....they have the CUTEST thick girl clothes I have ever seen...
OH MAN! I hate when my one VERY SKINNY guy friend drags me shopping at H & M when CLEARLY nothign will fit me there. I feel ridiculous!
OMG!!! I LOVED this thread! It is good to laugh at ourselves but to also know I am not alone. I had to get a MRI recently and I was too big to fit into the machine!!! What??? The other (bigger) one was broken! I walked out to a waiting room of people who were next and my poor husband says ,"Wow! That was fast!" I felt pretty sad. And I have also flown recently and did have a horrible time fastening the seat belt! And the bra issues...I could go on forever. I get (have) a terrible rash around my bra line. AND once I lose weight I want to become the sex kitten my husband deserves!!!
Oh redreine your post made me think of another one. One time my husband told me I was so sexy chubby and he that liked me either skinny (which I was before having kids) or chubby but not inbetween. I was like WTH?! Lol. He meant is as a compliment but it came across weird, kind of funny though lol.

Oh I thought of another one...waiting forever at the Dr's office for them to find a bigger cuff for the blood pressure machine and have them make comments like oh we hardly ever use the big cuff so I don't know where it is. Um okay do you never have bigger people come here or something?! Lol, it is embarrassing!
I had to have an ultrasound about a year ago for a non-pregnancy related thing and after a couple of minutes the technician said "Um, could you, uh, pull your belly up a little bit?" I wanted to crawl under the table.
I find it odd that some of you have problems that I have never had even though you are smaller than me and are the same height.
For example, I use the regular sized cuff for blood pressure, and I have had an MRI and fit intot he machien but then again I don't know if it was a 'big' machine or a 'small' machine?
Also I'm really surprised I dont' get rashes. I mean I have flops of fat everywhere! *LOL*
I guess I should stop questioning it and just consider myself lucky!!!
Yes, I will miss Torrid. And I always hate it when my friends drag me into a regular store. I really feel like people are thinking, "PFFFT, you can't fit into anything here!"
I will NOT miss feeling like the odd man out when my friends and I go shopping together and they can go in 98% of the clothing stores, and I can only go in Torrid and Lane Bryant.
I will NOT miss fixing my shirt every 10 seconds to make sure that my "fat folds" are "concealed".
I will NOT miss feeling as large as the Titanic next to my Paris Hilton sized friends.
I will NOT miss seeing the dirty looks a waiter gives me for ordering water or a diet coke at dinner because they think they only thing I should have is full boat coke cause I am a fattie.
lottie, I get what you're saying. I guess I'm lucky, too...I'm the same size or bigger but don't have a lot of these issues. Maybe the weight is just distributed differently?
Reading this thread made me laugh so hard I actually snorted & almost fell off my seat.... I love this! I'm not alone!!!!!
Thing I hate the worst.... feeling totally mortified & embarrassed of my body when my boyfriend & I are "together" (*winkwink*)... & jumping away everytime he gets close to my stomach.
Sex is another thing I feel very lucky with. To me, since he's dating me and seeing me naked, he obviously loves my body, so there is nothing to be self-concious about.
Plus, men are so focused on the act that they don't notice every little imperfection. We're goddesses to them.
i will not miss feeling like im redoing the scene from shallow hal when i sit in a chair. i keep waiting for all 4 legs to spread eagle on me.
i will not miss having a boil under my stomach flap and having to have hubby lift up my bulk and check it out for me.. didnt bother him, but i wanted to die.
i will not miss getting up outta bed and my stomach hitting my legs with that 'sound' that only We recognise.
i will not miss having a very narrow bathtub and having to turn the water on and off with my toes cause i cant lean forward enough to reach the faucets.
i will not miss hubby reaching to just touch a breast and me worring that its sweaty underneath and dont wanna gross him out.
i will not miss bathing just before 'ahem' each and every time cause i sweat in my groin area and dont want him to know.. i miss the spontinaiety.
i will not miss boobs on my back.. the ones in front are bad enough, but on my back?
i will not miss having my shoes tied on the sides cause i cant reach to tie em in the middle... you can always tell a heavy person by that lol
i will not miss the backache i get from standing long periods.. long as in 10 mins lol
i will not miss my lack of 'ahem' drive cause its easier to just watch a film than to actively participate.. gosh i have gotten so lazy
im sure there are zillions more, but its someone elses turn lol
I will NOT miss thinking that my boyfriend isn't having sex because I'm hideous cause I'm fat. Even when he assures me he is just tired, sick, or otherwise.
And I always hate it when my friends drag me into a regular store. I really feel like people are thinking, "PFFFT, you can't fit into anything here!"
