Here are things I don't miss...

Barely fitting into seats at concerts.

Not having a style, I can now buy things that I like, as opposed to buying because they fit.

Being the biggest person in the group

Chub rub on my pants

Shopping at plus size stores

Wishing I lived in Japan so I could buy clothes where the Sumo wrestlers shop.

Great list, op! Hit home with the bath comment. I've come to loathe showers now even, as I am completely wiped out by the time it's all done. Not to mention the back pain just from bending over to dry my legs. Ugh!

Also won't miss:

The dry skin I deal with because I don't even want to touch my body to apply lotion.

Not taking care if myself like I used to because of my " what's the point" attitude.

Dressing WAY too old for my age (30).

Not being able to paint my own toenails.

Being embarrassed at buffets. Just being there.

Not even trying some amusement park rides because of how the embarrassment would feel if I were too big.

OH HOW I COULD GO ON!!!

I can't wait to not rub holes on my pants where my thighs rub together! (And then think "Great! Now I have to buy new pants!")

Being able to "groom" myself without the use of a hand mirror!

To LOVE to shop vs. HAVE to shop! (I wear the same 4-5 things because I HATE to shop for clothes!)

To NEVER enter a plus size store again!

To have my husband look at me with the same look as when we started dating (and I was thin)!

To not feel uncomfortable around others and feel inferior to everyone around me!

I also can't wait to go to Victoria's Secret and drop a bundle on cute bras and underwear and throw out all my "granny panties"!

Refusing to go out because I didn't have anything cute to wear.

Feeling inferior around others.

Thinking I wasn't good enough

Plus size shopping

Wearing sweatpants everywhere

Rejecting my friends phone calls because I knew getting dressed came along with it

Not taking pictures

I thought I was the only one that did this!

Not going to my kid's school things because I was 'the fat mom'.

Feeling self conscious everywhere I go.

Getting bruises on my hips because they stick out further than everything else and have no choice but to bump into things.

Yup, I would totally dodge public events. 12 lbs lighter and looking forward to more weight loss!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
