I saw a thread of all the things that we think we won't miss pre-surgery or early on the surgery. Thought I would put together a list of things that I dont miss and which keep me motivated to keep working harder.

1. Not being able to cross my legs comfortably

2. Waking up in the night with my arms numb

3. Legs rubbing together

4. Going into a store and not being able to find anything to buy

5. Not being able to run, jump, skip and feel fit enough to keep up with others around me

6. Feeling lost in my own body and life

7. Sucking my body into airline seats, and asking for the extension belt

8. Having no one want to sit near me on public transport (ok I do kinda miss that one, as I would much rather no one sits next to me, but you get the point)

9. Not being able to keep up with my 3 yo nephew

1. I don't miss standing in a closet full of clothes with nothing that fits!

2. I do not miss walking into a room and scanning it to see if I am the fattest person there.

3. I do not miss the over priced plus sized stores

4. I do not miss only wearing dark colors and long shirts to camoflage my fat legs and butt
