what I WONT miss
 

All this talk about our pasts and what we did or didn't do is quite
helpful, but I want to think about our future! SO, here is a few of the things I wont miss when I am at 'goal' (ollie ~ ollie~ oxen ~free!!!!!!!!!!!!)
avoiding mirrors, windows, shiny surfaces of any type
lifting any bodypart to wash.
knee socks that double as anklets
panti hose that roll down to odd and uncomfortable places
self giving panti wedgies
being segregated in stores
walking into stores like "Victoria's secret" and having the staff assume you are buying a gift
polyester floral prints
avoiding wicker
dodging the scale at the Dr.s office
the bra that buckels like a back brace
thigh burns (y'all know what I mean!)
Bra overflows that resemble a third boob
anything with an X in the size
that slapping sound I hear when I try to 'run' up the stairs
numb~butts from too tight of airline seats
granny panties
pre~attached necklaces on clothes (don't get me started on that!)

I am sure we all have our own special things and I will think of more, but I will not miss one of these bad boys.
happy Sunday!

Elastic waist bands
1 piece bathsuits with skirts
jiggly tummys and boobies while running, jogging or skipping
(gosh it is early...5:45am, can't think)

LOVE this list.

and those LOOKS from people [she's eating THAT? how does she MOVE?? and on and on and on]

clothes that actually look good on me, and the fact that makeup and hair cuts actually make me look BETTER instead of a freak

Good thread! A few more things I won't miss...

• Avoiding cameras at every family or social event.
• Feeling self-conscious when I go out clubbing because I hate my "fat clothes" & thinking that everyone is staring at the fat girl dancing!
• Looking around at co-workers when I'm in meetings and thinking, "I'm the largest one in the room."
• Gazing at all the cute clothes when I go shopping and knowing that they'll look stupid on me.
• Avoiding going out to all social events & meeting new people (or seeing old friends) because I'm too self-conscious.
• Being depressed because of what I eat, how I don't care of myself and how I look!!

and one more thing... i won't miss people avoiding hugging me because they think... what??? that the extra pounds are contagious and will just JUMP from me to them???

Things I won't miss.....

>sucking in my belly when walking
>my butt bouncing while jogging
>worrying about if I'm too fat for the outfit I'm wearing.

how about that zit zit sound when walking in polyester pants?
clothes that leave marks
industrial strength bras and panties
folding your clothes and thinking 'damn, these are huge!'
the sidelong glances of people who knew you when 'you were thin'
the looks of the check out girl when you buy a cosmo
being automatically handed the family circle and red book magazines while under the dryer, instead of the cosmo!!!
sex in the dark
big baggy *** tent shaped outfits that we all think hide our ***
stretch jeans (though I kinda like those)
glitter or rinestones on clothes! (who ever asked for that?)

control top pantyhose
boots that don't fit my calves
boring one piece bathing suits designed to "camouflage"
the humiliating and frustrating experience of trying on bathing suits

feeling like the only "fat one" at the gym pool while surrounded by stick women in bikinis

wanting to go on vacation to one of those "hedonism"resorts but never actually booking the trip as you know that you will be the surrounded by thin, large breasted, bikini clad 20 somethings and feel like a big white beached whale in comparison :p

:chin: hmmm I think I have bathing suit issues :lol:

What I won't miss:

Jiggling when I run (esp. boobs!)
Panic when a camera or even worse a video camera comes out!
Seeing the photos (or video) later on, with horror
Hiding in big clothes and boring colors
Being afraid to eat normally in public (oh look at her eating, no wonder!)

I had a photo moment when I got a new passport a couple of years ago and had to also show my old one when I weighed 127 -in the new one I was almost 50 lbs heavier and it was very depressing and embarrasing...especially as I had to show them to a young rather cute passport guy behind the passport window (oh, you know what I mean!) and he was very nice but I just knew he was thinking she sure got fat! It was what I was thinking too! Ugh...

I wont miss.......

worrying about covering up before I get out of bed

the fear that grips me when I have to finally get out of the pool

the back aches

... catching a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror and seeing my mother's shape ...

... being larger than my older sister who has always looked fantastic...

Lam

I won't miss taking off my clothes the second I get home cause everything is uncomfortable!!!

I will NOT miss my mother buying me size 16 clothes because I must have been crazy when I said size 26 because her daughter couldn't be that big!

That sucking sound when I get out of the tub.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

can y'all play 'the Panama canal' in the tub...you know, when one side of the water in the tub is higher than the other...no, just you, Ginya.

Oh sure... in my small tub in the attic. And when I get out, there's actually only a couple of inches of water in the tub, but it seems full when I'm in it. :rolleyes:

Uh huh!
 

How about sore knees, sore legs, sore feet, and a sore back?

What about feeling sleepy and tired and barely having the energy to function normally?

I definitely won't miss that dreadful feeling that I get when a) I run into someone who I haven't seen in a long time b) someone takes out a camera or video recorder and c) I have to look at pictures or videos of myself.

And I recently had the trauma of buying a new swimming suit. :cry: Wouldn't it be amazing to buy a bikini and look great in it?

Trying to buy clothes that supposedly camoflage my fat. :lol:

Weighing as much as my husband. :mad:

Oh yes, the chaffing thigh thing just makes me nuts in the summer!

And of course, only fitting into plus size clothes. That is probably my most hated aspect of being FAT. :moo:

:yes: How about weighing more than your husband :mad:

I do too Mauvais, and I can't stand it!!!

That's what I was thinking, Mauvais. :mad:

I will not miss my shorts riding up my inside thighs when I am walking!!!! I will not miss hearing a guy whistle and know it is not directed at me. I will not miss going to an outside concert in summer and being one of the most dressed people. I will not miss searching for the nonfat ice creams or the low fat meals on the menu!

Husbands...
 

HA... well, I did weigh more than my husband not so long ago. But I'm proud to say as of today I am one pound lighter. Of course, he has been losing weight since the beginning of the year without even trying! He's lost like eight or nine pounds... but I'm finally lighter than he is! (but he is 6'1" and I am 5'1") Of course, he also exercises like ten times a week. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I definitely won't miss weighing more than my husband. He's 6'0 and I am 5'6... even when he was at his highest of 200 (which didn't last long) I was at my highest of 208. /sigh

Now I weigh a whopping 4 lbs less than him - still no see-saws at the playground for us! :p

I use to weigh a lot more than my hubby, now we are pretty mush the same, with me being a bit smaller, but I still cant fit in his jeans...shirts...socks...hmmmmmmmm

Yeah, I am very anxious to weigh less than DH. He gained a few pounds (not that you can tell) so he weighs about 3 lbs less than me (probably 10 lbs less now as he loses quickly, d*** it all!). But then he is small-boned. But he is also 4" taller than me. And has that thin guy metabolism. He put on 30 lbs once and NO ONE noticed in my family even when he had a big gut and everything, my mother was stiull going oh he's so nice and thin! The reverse is true of their perception of ME, of course! Ha ha...

Chris is at an all time high of 147 w/ clothes on. He has been packing on muscles the last few monthes at work. I can only dream of being less than him! 53 pounds til we are even!

DH is 6 feet tall and his HIGHEST weight was 165. He is now about 155, and I am over 200 lbs at 4' 10" so it will take me a while too!! He has these huge feet (NO COMMENTS ELLIS!!!) and hands, and is generally big boned so that makes it hurt even more. (I am small to medium boned, so no excuses there!!!

This Thread is Hilarious
 

You gals are a riot. I too can play Panama canal, which was actually alot of fun at my Mom's. They call her tub the swimming pool its designed for 2-3 people with jets. WOOOHOOO!

I weigh less than my DH, but did I mention he is a huge fat :censored: Sorry when he tipped the scales this morning at 260 and continues to shove crap in his mouth I just get so frustrated. I want to scream AT LEAST TRY! Okay, but I am not responsible for him and I still love Mr. Buddah Belly:lol:

Why do I have Jessica's quote up there cause I have a story. A couple of years ago when I was a very svelte 11/12 my hubby wanted to buy me a winter coat for Christmas. He went to Lane Bryant and when the lady asked hm what size I was he said he didn't really know but my boobs were about like this(imagine making a hump in the air about the size of a beach ball). Well then the lady asked if I was bigger or smaller than her. I wonder what size she was? Because I ended up with a size 28 coat for Christmas:lol: This one went to charity, I was too embarrased to take it back cause of the boob thing.:D

Miss Chris

Ha Ha...oh my goodness. That is sooo funny! At least he tried. Chris has never bought me clothes. Jewelry yes...but no clothes.

I won't miss sticky places....you know under boobs and folding spots...oh and I won't miss having to do that little hop to get my pants to go over my honking a**.

Oh man....
 

Because of my Cancun trip I have been shopping to try and find summer clothes that fit (all of last year's are too big).... needless to say I have been traumatized because I think I may resemble a walrus or some other large blubbery animal. :cry: So here is what I won't miss:

That stunned and horrified feeling that overcomes me when I look into the three way mirror in the dressing room. OHMIGOD... whose fat arms, back, and rear are those?? :?: :yikes: They clearly do NOT belong to me...

Ugly, hideous, baggy, too long, fat clothes.

Rolls of fat, everywhere. Dimply thighs. Sausage arms bulging out from sleeveless tops. Humungous breasts. Massive ***. (no no noooooooooo.... :no: ).

The humiliation of not fitting properly into one single item of the thirty pieces of clothing I just tried on in the fitting room. :censored:

Snotty, skinny, immature teenagers working the retail counter and giving me that LOOK when I come into the store. :bomb:

Mentally abusing myself for the rest of the day after I return from clothes shopping. :headache:

Thinking I've done so well losing eighteen pounds only to try on a pair of shorts that looks HUGE on the hanger... and to have it not even fit over my thighs. :dz:

Worrying that I am going to be the biggest and fattest woman on the beach in Cancun among the hordes of skinny, svelte, tan, thong wearing teenage girls. Whaaaa... where is MY cabana boy? :?:

Ok... I'm done ranting now. Where are my pills...

Oh Soj....I FEEL for you hun!!! :chockiss:

I am like you and will NOT miss seeing something you like, in what appears to be a size you think you can surely get into, and then the damn thing won't even reach your butt. :faint:

When i was in a size 24, it seemed like forever before 22's were even thinkable. I am in a 20 now and 18 seems eons away.

Oh I won't miss cutting out my size tags, giving the excuse its because they itch, when I am really just ashamed that I wear that size. :nono:

When is your trip!!!!!!? I hope you have a BLAST!!!

Sojo, hon, I am sorry you had a bad time shopping, but there is a very good thing. You have to shop because all of the clothes you had were too BIG. That is a great thing, and something to be proud of. And you will have so much fun in Cancun, you won't be worrying about who else is on that beach. :)


:grouphug:
squeak

Sojo-you will not be the biggest person on the beach. Yes, there will be thong wearing girls there, but everything that comes out of their mouth is stupid! Try and relax and have a good time! You have come so far and you deserve to relax! You are beautiful!!!!

Okay Sojo... those skinny chicks? Look at their faces. Most of them are dogs. I mean, I'm sure they're very nice people, but if they weren't thin, they'd look like ****. Whereas YOU are a BABE, and you WILL lose the weight, while those other chicks will NEVER look good from the neck up!
You've even got good hair and teeth, for goodness sakes!! You're working with a full deck!!
:grouphug:

ps... and we should ALL stop comparing ourselves with 20 year olds! We are strong, beautiful women, and we look GREAT for our ages!! :D

Oh for gosh sakes... you baby you. :lol: I KNEW you would comment!!
Well, you're right... you DO look 18. :D But in a good way. ;)
:grouphug:

Sigh...
 

Thanks everyone... I'm suffering from a serios bout of PMP... pre-menstrual psychosis. Figures ttom would come days before I leave for Cancun. And I was really hoping to see 179 before I left, but that probably won't happen now since I am retaining water like a sponge. :cry: Of course, you'd think with the amount of tears I've been shedding the last coupld of days, it would somehow even out... but of course not. :no: At least I can be thankful that it came BEFORE the trip and not during the trip. In a few days I should be feeling back to normal. I leave Sunday afternoon... I really can't wait to be in the sun and swimming and out of this miserable, dreary, rainy cold Wisconsin weather.

And yeah... you're right... I am kind of cute despite being so... voluptuous. :smug:

Of course I did, Ellis. I am a complete and utter smartass. :)
