Standing in my closet in the morning trying to figure put what fit.
Wishing I was thinner.....

Ah yes. The double chin. Unfortunately looking at my mother, I'm pretty certain that this will continue to exist after I reach goal!

Wearing Spanx, shopping at plus size stores, wide calf boots, taking only neck up selfies...

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

I will not miss dreading getting dressed and wishing I could always wear my "stretchy" pants and a sweatshirt. Now I will be excited..."what should I wear today! "

I won't miss putting my hands in my pockets and feeling that flap of fat that gathers right there....smooooth in the pockets is what I'm looking forward to!

Won't miss not being able to shop in normal stores. Won't miss not trying anything on because I know it just has to be an XL or 16/18. Won't miss feeling like the largest person in the room. Won't miss being the slowest runner in the group and feeling awkward about it.

wearing out the inner thigh of an otherwise perfectly good pair of pants.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!? I hate this!

I can relate to so many of these as well. I won't miss wearing a zip up hoodie 12 months a year to cover up the "love handles" or if I was too hot I would tie it around my waist and try to make it perfect to push in the extra roll. Sitting on a couch looking for a pillow to cover my lap to hide myself. Being at family gathering dreading the family picture time that I know will be posted on Facebook and feeling horrible about myself because everyone else is so much smaller than me. Being told I'm big (does that refer to my height, weight??), It would make me feel so "small" at the same time. Then the comment others posted, "You have such a pretty face".... then end of conversation. I won't miss going shopping and not being able to fit into the cute clothes displayed in the window. This is a journey that is worth throwing all that away.

My sister had the arm flap surgery, she still hides her arms because of the long scar she has now. She wishes she didn't do it.

When she shops for clothes she tries to get them with light frilly sleeves or kind of see through on the top of the arm.

Reading all these comments makes me realize how hard we had to adapt to being fat.........lets watch how easy we adapt to getting smaller!!

I remember one time, at work we were all eatting lunch, and a young girl said to me...she was about 25, I am 53, she said, sooo when did you become fat anyways Annette..... my food stuck in my throat, and I felt like I was going to throw up. Everyone looked at me, and there were others larger then me who were waitting to see what I responded with. I said, well, that is a good question, it was a slow process, with many excuses, none of wich matter. The better question is soooooooooo Annette how are the new lifestyle changers going. Later that night i cried in my pillow, but got up the next day and continued to eat healthy..

I won't miss trying to turn the steering wheel and having my stomach in the way. I won't miss the X's--1X, 2X, 3X, or even XL. I won't miss not being able to wear my cute shoes because my feet got fat along with the rest of me. I won't miss the depression that comes with the fat.

I wont miss having to shop at plus size stores or having to carry baby powder in my purse in the summer for thigh chaffing and I definitely wont miss having to buy new pants because my thighs rubbed a hole in them!!

Plus size stores, wide calf boots, avoiding getting my picture taken, sweating/chaffing, double chin and puffy face, the list can go on and on ...

I won't miss avoiding group photos, the insecurities caused by my weight, the embarrassment of eating in public, having to dig through clothes racks to find sizes that will fit, having to spend money on clothes to replace my "skinny" outfits...

My weight gain being a conversation starter! Like: 'What have you been eating, you seem to be doing well (means doing well financially in my culture)"
My weight will still be the conversation starter, but the other way around. Even if people become more quiet when you're losing rather. HYPOCRITS!
