I know I posted here before, but I forgot a couple things...
I won't/don't miss the feeling, when I'm in a room with a bunch of people, that they are all resenting the amount of space I take up. I won't miss the paranoia that people are disgusted and personally offended by my size. I don't know where that came from, because I certainly don't feel that way about people who are bigger than I am.

I won't miss crying in department store changing rooms, despairing over how awful the clothes look on me, that looked so pretty on the hangar.

all of your responses are wonderful guys!..i posted this thread as a personal outlet of all the things I face being fat, and the fact that all of you can sympathize and relate is amazing, and soo motivating. Thank you for all of your wonderful posts, and lets look forward to knocking each one of these stupid things off the list!

I really won't miss my love handles!!
they piss me off!

Great list.. a real motivator.

I wont miss.....

...Feeling out of breath from climbing one set of stairs...
...Feeling too tired to go out and have fun...
...Dreading seeing someone from the past who knew me when I was thin...
...Not being able to zip up certain boots because of my calves...
...Hiding the tags from the clothes I am buying while on line...
...Always wearing shirts with sleeves b/c I'm embarrassed of my arms...
...Not wanting to take pictures b/c I know I will look bad in them...
...Not looking at my body in the mirror....

Whew. Exhale. That felt good!

your list made me cry (and i'm at work ;)). so true!
when i play with my five-year old nephew, he always wants me to sit on the floor with him and i can't, because i can't move once i sit, i'm just too heavy. it breaks my heart when he asks me again and again to sit on the floor, even brings me a pillow to make me play with him on the floor.

Looking in the mirror and seeing my grandmother looking back at me, knowing she died at just 15 years older than I am now....

I don't miss feeling limited on what stores I can shop at.
I don't miss feeling ashamed when I was eating (even if it was healthy).
I don't miss feeling like I'd squish my hubby if I sat on his lap.

I wont miss
- my thighs rubbing together.
- being out of breath after running up 3 flights of stairs at work.
- feeling uncomfy around my hubby even thou he says things are cool.
- the negative feelings that come along with it.
- all the icky "old" people clothes.
yay!!!! Here we go... :carrot:

i wont miss going to a party and comparing myself to every skinny girl thats there

i wont miss going to the beach and wrapping a towel around my self so no one can see.

i wont miss being shy. because im really not a shy person. im quite outgoing.. its just my confidence is so low that im always quiet around people i dont know, and i never take any risks infront of people in fear of being embarrassed

i wont miss wondering if they could feel my fat rolls when someone accidentally brushes up against me.

i wont miss being too scared to sit on a guys lap.

i wont miss crying in the dressing room.

i wont miss pre-thinking the best position for a picture so i dont look huge.

Wow you guys, this is so inspiring.

I won't miss having a panic attack at a clothing store because I can't fit in to the the biggest sized pair of jeans they have.

I won't miss not being able to wear high heels because of excessive gravitational pull.

I won't miss having "the only pair of pants that fit me now."

I won't miss the quadruple boob thing when my bra is too tight.

I won't miss altering my clothing with safety pins.

And most of all, I won't miss not being able to portray myself on the outside the way I feel about myself on the inside. Feminine and full-a-class.

Sigh.

I won't miss...

...looking around and knowing I'm the largest woman in the room.
...being convinced that everyone else realizes this, too.
...feeling like I need to apologize for being who and what I am.

Wow..
This thread is so inspiring!
I like, wanna hug all of you right now!
My last pair of jeans got rubs in the inner thighs..>.>

Things I won't miss:
*My grandpa and Dad thinking they have to comment every time I snack on something or commenting on my weight.
*Having a Closet of cute clothes that I feel too embarrassed to wear cuz they highlight fat.
*Dressing Frumpy.
*My bra leaving 8 boobs in the lines of fat.
*Swimming in a Tshirt and shorts
*absolutely avoiding jeans entirely because trying them on is just too depressing.
*The red line that pants leave indented in my pudge.


Things I'm looking forward to:
*a body I can show off
*skinnydipping
*buying whatever I think is cute at the clothing stores!

Ugh, I hear you! And not having money isn't helping either, I always have to keep the holes closed with safety pins as I can't afford a new pair of pants... (Of course I sew it first, but it won't last as the fabric has become too thin, not even when I sew a patch on it.)
