What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?

  • Popular Post

I'm not going to miss bumping into walls, worrying about fitting into chairs - especially airplane seats, having to shop at plus size stores and so much more! What about you?

What are you going to try as you get smaller? I want to try rock wall climbing!

I agree, I won't miss all of the above either.

-I won't miss the "fat dimples" in my extra chin , that also are enhanced by dark shadows when pictures are taken of me in daylight...

-won't miss laying on beach in south florida, trying to tan my big tummy by pulling my fat girls bathing suit top up to the bra and scaring small children when I do so ????

-won't miss only having 1- 2 positions available during "intimate moments" with hubby...

- won't miss moving stomach out of way to shave legs n such...

- I do miss wearing cute heels to work, and want to fit cute fall boots that zip all the way up my calves...

List goes on!

Accidentally bumping my toddler over with my butt! HAH.

I really don't have any other things.. except hopefully not feeling so out of place.. although I really don't. I'm pretty active and everything already. I don't really sweat that bad, cause I work out anyway.. but sweat doesn't always go away!

I don't miss being a slave to food. I don't miss the cravings and the need to pile a ton of food on my plate.

I don't miss the huge portions I used to eat.

This has been the best thing ever for me. Even though I am losing slowly, I am so happy with my decision.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I won't miss being embarrassed to chaperone my kids field trips.

" Kids/adults staring at me like I'm a circus animal"

" The pain in my knees

Wearing black all the time

avoiding stripes or bright colors

The list is endless lol

I will not miss my DDs, unzipping pants before I sit down to take off my shoes, and tugging my big shirts down every few minutes. I will not miss sleepless nights, waking up congested with puffy eyes. I will not miss pain in my feet and knees despite orthotics. I will not miss dieting as a part time job. I will not miss the look on people's faces when they measure me with their eyes before a hug, and the awkward side hugs to avoid my chest.

I will not miss the shock of myself in photos.

I will not miss:

wearing bike shorts under every skirt or dress, even on the hottest days

worrying what I'm teaching my daughter about food and nutrition

worrying about spilling over to the adjacent airline seat / bus seat

not being able to cross my legs

paying more for uglier clothes

hating the way I look in almost every photo taken of me

worrying about debilitating/deadly weight-related illnesses

I will miss:

really enjoying my food / food as entertainment (I can't lie)

having a lot of weight to throw around in contact sports

being mostly immune to street harassment

Probably a million other things for the first list that I can't think of...

I will NOT miss holding my breath when I tie my shoes. I will also NOT miss my pants feeling like they are cutting me in half.

I am not going to miss avoiding sporting events, concerts or shows because I can't fit or sit comfortably in the seats. I am not going to miss shopping for plus size clothes and I am definitely not going to miss hiding in my house during the summer!!!

Everyone seems to have hit on all the things really... but my list for the sake of science... :D

1) Getting tired walking 20 feet.

2) Sweating!

3) The judgmental looks. Hate that people think they know so much about me based on one data point.

4) Bathroom "issues"

...and lastly... I'll still fly First Class (I'm a CEO, it's how I roll) but maybe I'll actually ENJOY it for a change!

Everyone telling me how pretty my face is but if I would only loose some weight.

Jesus... do people actually say that to you? How horribly disrespectful.

Well it finally happened today. I was walking to the car and when I got in my daughter (only 4) said, Mama your stomach looks big in a very matter of fact tone. Just like she was stating the obvious without judgment. And I horrified, mumbled something like. Oh, uh? She is my motivation to get in control of my health and eating. I want to be a good example. She's been blessed with the other sides physique. She is long lean and very muscular and active. Hopefully, I can be smaller by the time she starts elementary school....a sad as that sounds...
