Worrying about what everyone thinks about my weight!

Also, not having to worry if my clothes will fit! :)

YES!!

The clothes!!!! I tried on something recently in a standard size clothing store and almost cried in the dressing room.

Congrats! Isn't that a great feeling? It's like hitting the jackpot. As you get healthier and shrunk more it only gets better! I can actually go to Anne Taylor Loft and Express and walk out with bags of clothes instead of bags of depression! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Oh.. And people scrutinizing your food choices. ????

Now the question is "Is that all you're eating?"

That too! Now it's "you eat like a bird!" Lol

I won't miss overpaying for plus size clothes and being able to find great deals!! Clearance racks here I come!

... Oh yeah, I never want to wear Spanx ever again!! Always being hot in those suckers.

And those plus size clothes we get charged so much for are usually soooo ugly! They are either incredibly childish, with kittens, puppies and cartoon characters, or they look like something that your granny would deem too old fashioned to wear!

I am convinced that while the industry knows plus size is a money making proposition, they are still very predjudiced against larger sized women and it comes out in the choices given to those who need plus sized clothing. I can't believe how much better clothes fit me now. I'm not just talking about the fact that I'm smaller, but just in general.

I used to shop alot at Avenue. I thought they had the best selection in bigger sizes. But there's this presumption that a larger girl is also taller. Everything is proportioned to a woman nearer to six feet tall than five feet tall. I used to have so much material cut off from pants and sleeves just to wear the clothes. Alot of the tops never fit correctly as they all hung down to my knees. Don't the designers realize there are alot of short, fat women out there. Petite should come in all women's sizes and not just for thinner folks. And yes...flowers and animals are not acceptable after the age of five.

I won't miss having to wear spandex shorts under dresses so I don't get skin rash due to my thighs rubbing together!!

Sorry to be graphic but also won't miss my thighs "eating" my shorts making them wrinkle and hike up my legs until they are in a bunch.

Won't miss being afraid that I can't catch up to my 3 year old when he runs off.

Won't miss feeling so winded when I climb 2 flights of stairs.

Won't miss my more fit coworkers walking slowly because I can't walk briskly at their pace.

Won't miss feeling guilty after over eating at every meal.

Won't miss feeling sluggish and failing at every diet just to go back to the same old.

Won't miss getting so sweaty so easily.

Won't miss being too tired all the time for sex (lol). When I was lighter it was easier quite frankly.

Won't miss my thighs taking up some of my neighbors space when flying on an airplane. Or the pain of forcing the arm rests down, squishing my hips.

Won't miss mild sleep apnea.

Wow that's a lot isn't it? I'm debating having the surgery but this is starting to convince me!

I look forward to being able to go on rides and Water slides with my kids. It's the worse having to get off a ride because you don't fit.

I can so relate!! Also I tried to sign up for Horsebackriding and they said sorry you're over the weight limit because it could make the horse lame. Embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't miss that!!!

sleeping on five pillows so I could breathe. Not being able to lay on my back.

Yoga moves to wipe my butt. Not being able to shave my bikini line. Or cut my toe nails. Or put my shoes on.

Having to sit down to put on my underwear. Having to pee all the time.

The grocery bill. The restaurant bill. Eating alone out of embarrassment.

Using the largest bathroom stall and dressing room. The size of my underwear. Not being able to find my bra size. Plus size stores!!!!!!

The ugly shoes I had to wear, the ugly clothes. My hair always being greasy from the crap I ate.

The black stretch pants. Thigh rash.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
