10. Accidently closing the drawer on a boob while putting away clothes.

9. Acid Nausea - the one where you are a little hungry and then all of a sudden need to eat NOW or else you are going to puke

8. American Airline seat suction - the seat is thisbig and you are THIS BIG..you almost need a crowbar to get out. dont get me started on the seat belts!

7. Sounding like an 18th Century house's wood floors when I get up.....crrrreeeeekkkkk...ppppoooooppppp...oh my knee!

6. Walking up a short flight of stairs and feeling like my lungs are going to stage a coup and revolt.

5. Being able to only cross my legs like a dude. Sorry guys but you know what I mean. Women can cross their legs and it looks eligant. Men cross their legs (well most guys anyways) and usually just place their ankle on their knee. I understand, you got "stuff" in the way. I just have fat

4. Only getting the 'partial' hug. You know...the one where they try and go all the way around to give you the bear hug but only end up giving you a cub hug (arms are not long enough to go all the way around).

3. Always asking for a chair at a restaurant because you are afraid you will stick to the booth if you try to slide in. Kind of like doing a slip-and-slide without water.

2. Always going straight home and laying down. At the end of the day, being just so tired from carrying around this extra person all day that you just want to get horizontal and not move. Ever. Again. Well till the next day anyways.

AND....

1. Sweating!!!!!! Walking through the grocery store...sweating! Walking into the movie theater....sweating! Walking through security at the airport and you are pouring sweat (because you are hot as hell) and the TSA guy is looking at you suspiciously. No officer..I am not carrying any hidden weapons or have any ill-contempt. I am just sweating cause my fat is crying!

Good list!

I'm looking forward to Not having to spend an hour in my closet trying to figure out which too tight outfit to wear.

I hear ya. I hated asking for shh "seat belt extenders"....no more!!! I won't miss going to the gym and getting sneers from the skinny people and them re-wiping the machines.

This is a good list to remember when the head hunger and cravings try to get the better of us.

All great things to get rid of--especially that airplane seat belt issue.and my favorite thing to be rid of--sleeping sitting up because lying flat makes it hard to breathe. Better sleep was the first wonderful thing I noticed after first three weeks. Yeah for lying down flat!!!!!

I don't miss going to buffets and people watching the amount of food on my plate(s).

I don't miss having to make up excuses for not wanting to put on a swimsuit.

I also don't miss snotty comments from my mother in law about what I am eating.

The sweat stains under my boobs that are visible when I stand up

I won't miss feeling prego all the time! At least when I was pregnant it only lasted nine months and there was a baby to enjoy at the end. This feels like the never ending pregnancy! I'm so ready for my middle to disappear!

That was good stuff...thanks for posting that!

#1....I still sweat a lot......

Amen on this! I weigh now, nearly as much as my 14 year old son weighs, more than when I got pregnant with him. A person! What is really sad is my kid is a big kid.... tall for his age, a dancer so he is muscular and is always in the 85-95th percentiles for height and weight....

Awesome list! When I miss food I'm going to remember what I don't miss about being so heavy!
