Things I will NOT miss about being fat.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

Well, this may be TMI but as a man ill finally be able to look down and actually see my you know what! Yippie lol.

No. What??

[No game 14,436]

No. What??

His toes, silly!

[SeaLegs 38]

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.

[Red79 4]

The feeling when you look at pictures and say wow that's me. Ugh

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

[LipstickLady 25,682]

His toes, silly!

I wonder how long his toes are.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

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...

[Thick'n'Thin 171]

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

Ditto to all of u. Thank u for all your honest post. We all deserve to feel better. Being over weight is an awful way to live everyday.

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.

[corcor85 26]

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

[rensterness85 71]

Ummmmm..yes my toes, my toes, that's exactly what I was talking about!!! ;-)
