    I know this sounds strange but there is a thread about what you hate about being fat. Well Don't get me wrong 99% of the changes thats happening I LOVE!!!! but there are a few I hate! Do you have any you hate? Never even thought I would say that...lol
  • My boobs being smaller!!!!!!
  • The hunger headaches I get between meals!
  • I hate how slow it takes
  • Quote: I hate how slow it takes
    Ditto! I hate losing patience and fearing that I will give up before I get to goal. I hate that the fat hasn't quickly melted away.
  • I miss being able to eat chocolate whenever I wanted and not worrying about it.
  • I don't hate my boobs or clothes getting smaller, per we, but I DO hate the remeasuring and resizing to find out where I'm at NOW. I don't shrink in the proportions of a clothing label, so figuring out where the ten or twenty pounds came off when I'm trying to buy new, flattering clothes can be a big challenge.

    I also hate the awareness that comes with being healthy. Even when I want to, I can't indulge like I did when I wasn't watching my weight or caring about my health - I know too much now and can't help but keep mental tabs on the calories, nutrients, preparation, etc. I can't turn the educated part of my brain off and it informs and dictates how far I'll let myself go. Most of the time this is an excellent victory and a great change, but sometimes I secretly think it would be nice to be ignorant and not care what I'm eating for a day. But I can't - now that I know and am used to using thought and moderation regarding my food choices, I can't go back to the way I was.

    ... Which sucks when I really want to eat my feelings and my brain won't let me
  • I miss having big boobs. My pear shape is really taking hold of my body now and my chest and arms have shrunk but my hips, butt, and thighs are still large.
  • My legs have become increasingly more difficult to shave They used to be smooth and round, now there are muscles and bones.

    I also could do without being cold ALL. THE. TIME. My poor heating bill.
  • I agree with two above:
    My boobs shrinking
    How slow it happens

    Also having to buy new clothes, just because it's expensive. Especially my outdoors gear, snowpants and things like that.
  • Man, I wish my boobs would shrink. I guess the grass is always greener!
  • how LONG its taking!! where's that magic pill when you need it???
  • Anxiety about how different I look (for pure vanity!). I still fit into my clothes just fine, seriously WHERE did my weight go, it couldn't be all from my head! Wondering what I'll look like at goal weight.

    And my family's comments. I am an adult now and I am a much stronger person than before but I am very triggered by my family's nitpicking. Now, I get really defensive and riled up, I think to sort of...protect myself from them. But anyways, at least I recognize that its THEM and not ME.

    Watching Food INC did that to me. Now I wake up super early to go to the Farmer's Market for eggs and meat every Saturday LOL. I am sooooo sleepy but I can't turn back.
  • I hate how long it takes me to make my meals now, and how bad I feel when I eat something I know I shouldn't or when I don't exercise.
