I saw a forum once about what you arnt gonna miss when you are morbidly obese. I have never been morbidly obese (by the grace of God because I ate enough and was lazy enough to be) but I have been obese. I just wanted to post things that you arnt gonna miss. It gets kinda funny but its really motivating. I will start...

I am not gonna miss the fart noise the tub makes when I get in.

I am not gonna miss my but not fitting on to a toilet seat. i hate it when it hangs from all sides.

I am not gonna miss under-boob sweat

I am not gonna miss the " you really should be healthier" remarks.

I am not gonna miss not being able to kick my butt. My thighs are too big.

When I was little I could do the human pretzel. Its where you put your feet behind your head. I cant do it know because of my gut. I am not gonna miss not being able to do it.

I am not gonna miss all of my stuff (butt, boobs, tummy, thighs, ect) shaking around when I workout.

K people tell me what you got!!!!

I'm not gonna miss feeling like everyone is judging me when I eat something that isn't healthy.

I'm not gonna miss my mom recording every oprah show and news report on losing weight.

I'm not gonna miss random magazine and newspaper articles on losing weight showing up in my room.

I'm not gonna miss my double chin.

I'm not gonna miss feeling huge next to my size 0 best frind.

I'm not gonna miss not being able to go to any store to buy clothes.

I am not going to miss being out of breath when I put my pantyhose on for work.

I am not going to miss sucking in my stomach whenever I stand up.

I am not going to miss dreading stepping on the scale.

I am not going to miss not participating in activities w/ me son!

I am not going to miss my tank butt!

[Puccikat]

I'm not going to miss being afraid to fly because I don't want to pay for the extra seat

I'm not going to miss getting out of breath just from walking upstairs

I'm not going to miss arriving to class 15 minutes early so I can find a seat in the outer rows, that way I can come and go w/o bumping into people and knocking down books!

I'm not going to miss my size 24/3x/Queen anything!

Love this idea, thanks for starting it up.

I will not miss having to wear special shoes to support my fallen aches and overstressed ankles.

I will not miss having to shop in special "big girl" clothing stores.

I will not miss having to squeeze through the normal people sized spaces that they put between the desks at school and the machines at the gym.

I will most definitely not miss the sweat under my breasts or the sweat under my belly.

I will not miss my cats wanting to balance themselves between my arm and my boobs, because they don't have a lap to sit on.

I also will totally not miss the butt too big for the toilet seat.

I will not miss having to sit down to lace up my hiking boots, (which I wear most days due to the ankle thing.).

I will not miss looking at all the world like I am so far out of the dating/sex loop that I might as well be a different species.

I won't miss men opening doors for me with that look on there face that says, "I'm being nice to an old fat woman" instead of a look that says, "I am behaving like the gentleman I was raised to be".

I am not going to miss thinking that everyone is thinking I'm fat.

I'm not going to miss having to pair jeans and shirts together that hide my stomach.

I am not going to miss not being able to run with the basketball team I coach.

I am not going to miss the weird looks people give me when I have a boyfriend.

I am not going to miss wearing the largest size of pants at Forever 21.

I am not going to miss being scared to go into a store because I know nothing will fit.

I am not going to miss my mom constantly telling me to eat healthier.

[fatmad]

I am not going to miss shopping for clothes that hide my belly.

I am not going to miss weighing more than my husband.

I am not going to miss wearing tent-like dresses, instead of something that fits, because fitted clothes don't look good on fat people.

I am not going to miss wearing out my jeans and slacks on the inner thighs, before other parts of the garment are even showing wear!

And I am not going to miss being fat!

[wildthing]

These are really good ladies!!!!
I thought of a few more

I am not gonna miss wearing shorts and them wadding up in the crotch. I want to wear shorts and them just hang like normal.

I want to be able to wave and not have my arm jiggle round.

I am not gonna miss crotch sweat. It just gathers and sits. Ugh...

[junebaby]

This is an excellent topic and a lot of fun!!!!!

[kestrel]

I'm not going to miss forever tugging my shirt down when I sit down, out of fear that all the fat bulging over the front/side/back of my jeans is showing.

I don't miss weighing more than my husband.

I don't miss my Wii telling my "That's obese!" when I step on it. And hopefully soon I won't miss my Wii telling me "That's overweight!" when I step on it.

I, too, won't miss shorts riding up. I'm tired of my crotch eating my shorts and my butt eating my underwear!

I don't miss my stomach sticking out farther than my boobs do.

I won't miss looking in the mirror and cringing at how I look.

I won't miss the horrible feeling of despair when I go shopping and almost nothing fits and the stuff that does fit looks like crap. I won't miss leaving stores in near tears.

[bikini bod]

Im not gonna miss wearing a girdle everyday
Im not gonna miss having my belly hang over my pants

[mariamherrera]

[vlmar55]

I agree with about 90% of the posts plus....
I'm not going to miss feeling embarassed at not being able to fit in a resteraunt booth.
...Or food landing on my chest before it makes it to my mouth.
...Or being out of breath at everything I do.
...Or hiding from a camera.
...Or not being able to play with my grandsons.

I could go on.

As I've lost most of what I want to I'll tell you what I don't miss.

I don't miss the under-boob and belly sweat rash.
I don't miss the chaffed thighs in summer.
I don't miss wearing jackets/cardigans to cover my arms even when its 80 degrees out.
I don't miss the disapproving looks of shop assistants when I buy food.
I don't miss the wardrobe full of dark, shapeless clothes much of which doesn't fit anyhow.
I don't miss thinking I'll have a heart attack just doing a little run to catch a bus or a train.
I don't miss the way I used to eat (mostly).

However I have discovered a couple of disadvantages to weightloss. I found that there's very few clothes on the clearance rails in average sizes (I miss getting a bargain) and that for the first summer in ages I'm going to have to have to trim my bikini line an area which never saw the light of day due to the belly overhang and the top of thigh rolls.
