Things I am not going miss

I thought I'd make myself a list of all the things I won't miss after I get this band and get myself looking good. :)

1. Having to stretch my shirts out once I put them on to make them more comfortable.

2. Not getting on a plane for fear that I will need an extender or worse yet have an airline employee tell me I need to buy 2 seats. :P

3. Buying something off the rack and assume it fits, then getting home and finding out its too tight!

4. Feeling self conscious of people looking at my grocery cart when shopping.

5. Having men look the other way, or not looking at me in the eye for fear that they will somehow unknowingly attract the fat girl. Sorry dudes, I'm married, you can look me in the eye now!

I have a list a mile long :) For today, I am not going to miss looking at my double chin.

- Hating my wardrobe

- Getting puffed on stairs

- Crying in changing rooms

- Sarongs at the beach

- Not feeling sexy with my boyfriend

- Jiggling

- food guilt

- Dreading dress up parties

- Still being hungry when I eat out at restaurants or friend's houses

- My butt hanging over the side of chairs

- Not being able to sit on my boyfriends lap

- Not letting my boyfriend pick me up

- Being self concious when I get changed at gym or around friends

- SPANKS!!!

Ugh! So many more!!!

I'm not going to miss feeling too fat for my car and feeling like I need a crane to get out of the car!

I don't miss risking a $65 ticket for not wearing the seatbelt. Darn thing wouldn't fit around my gut!!

It's sad that people are less friendly to the obese, I give everyone the same respect.

I will not miss the snidey comments about my back fat rolls. I will not miss the side rolls. I will not miss my thighs jiggling. I will not miss feeling hungry all the time.

I will not miss rejecting invitations or reunions to avoid old friend seeing me like this and saying OH my Goodness YOU HAVE REALLY CHANGED ALOT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. this actually happened last week and it did really hurt me a lot...
