Things I will NOT miss about being fat.



Recommended Posts

Oh, I can relate! How about:

Not going to reunions because I am embarrassed about my weight.

Having to ask for seatbelt extensions when I get on a plane.

I think all of the posters caught the essence of what we all felt and will not miss in our new life.

1. Having to unbuckle my seat belt to pop the latch for my gas tank

2. The head rush and sensation of bending over a beach ball when I try to bend over to tie my patients shoes or pick a dropped item up off the floor

3. Sore feet and joints if I were to work a full shift on my feet

4. Avoiding strenuous work because I struggle and sweat through it

5. Feeling like my heart would burst and sweating and panting after hiking just two flights of stairs to my first day of class with the skinny, cute young people at college

6. Things I don't do because of weight: climb the lighthouse, climb the Water slides, enjoy water parks, ride a plane, sit in a stadium seat.

7. Missing out on physical activity- dancing, walking, running (could I really?), hiking, etc. Life away from my couch!

8. Feeling self-conscious, fat, and unattractive.

9. The discouragement of losing...and regaining.

10. Not taking selfies with my BF because I can't stand how I look with my chins and chub :P

Oh! I've got another!

Catching a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror while out and thinking that fatty is wearing my same outfit and then realizing...

Totally forgot about this but I do it ALL the time.

1. People saying "you have such a pretty face"

2. Chub rub

3. Being scared to sit in a chair

4. Getting to restaurants first just in case you can't fit in the seat.

5. Painties rolling down over your roll.

6. The only thing you can buy from Victoria Secrets is perfume and lotion.

7. Standing in the back during pictures.

8. Being embarrassed to be "on top"

9. Everyone at work asking what your ordering for lunch

10. Cute "big girl" clothes are hard to find

I could go on and on. I'm hoping to have my surgery in January! Say a prayer for me!

I have everything that has been said here, but most embarrassing is profuse sweating when doing something physical or in public..

Also because I already have four sizes of clothing, deciding which size will fit me when getting ready to go somewhere.

Seeing all these lists reminds me of why I had my surgery. Seems like such a long time ago I was tormented with all of these things. Life is so much simpler now. I will not miss those feelings associated with being obese and the social stigma related to it either.

I agree with all of these' date=' but I have to say one thing I will miss about being FAT is always getting to ride in the front seat when going out with co-workers because none of them want to watch the pitiful sight of you trying to cram yourself in the backseat.[/quote']

Lol omgee I thought that was just me lol. I think I will miss that too lol

      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.
