I saw this thread awhile ago and loved it and have started a list of my own.

Things I won't miss about being fat.

1. Never finding a towel big enough to go all the way around me and tuck in the front. It always looks so cute when my skinny friends do it!

2. Constantly pulling down my shirt to try and hide my big, low-riding tummy. Who do I think I'm fooling?

3. Cringing or running everytime someone pulls out a camera.

4. Always checking the room to confirm my worst nightmare...I'm the fattest one in the room.

5. All the junk food wrappers in my bedside table!

What things won't you miss about being fat?

Wendy

You know you can get bath sheets that are huge right? We have them and I love them, wrap them around and still have plenty at the ends

Funny!!

lets see....

1) Not being able to ride all the rides at the amusement parks.

2) Not being able to paint my toe nails easily.

3) Not being uncomfortable when sitting in a booth.

4) Not being able to shop in the Junior department.

5) Not being able to cross my legs.

6) Not being able to wear a bathing suit with out shorts over top it.

Many more to think of!!!!!!!!

the disappointment in my honey's eyes because i cant do top...im too embarrassed and feel like im crushing him.

Not wanting to go to a party because i know I will be the biggest there.

going straight from work to home to sleep because i have no energy.

Hearing " you have a pretty face.....but"

Complete strangers feeling they have a right to give me diet advice."

my step daughter making comments like " oh ud be considered Morbid Obese right?"

Not believing my honey when he tells me im hot

not wanting to leave the house:frown:

Im getting banded in a week :grouphug:

Lol lol i like u r comments MSMAURANY , yeh i agree with u !

1-Asked by u r children not to visit them in their schools, or to attend an occasion, u know why :grouphug:

2-Going with u r friends to buy cloths, standing there praising how much they look nice ,( Not being able to find something fits u) .

3-A full closet of shoes and bags ( only things am able to have and can fit easily without feeling embarressed to try)

Oh me still have too many things in mind ! i am looking forward to write More things I miss about being fat.

hahah

Good luck for all

I've got one that I truly will not miss...

Not being able to shave "down there" and missing spots due to I cannot see past my stomach not matter what position I am in...lol ! It is hard to do just by touch and I have cut myself a few times.

Oh god, Dawn, do I relate!

Also, I travel a lot for work, so I won't miss:

1) Getting on the airplane and feeling like I need to apologize to everyone for taking up so much space.

2) Sitting on the airplane and feeling like I'm spilling over into and crushing my seat mates to death.

3) Seeing the worry and fear in people's eyes as I approach their seat, and always, ALWAYS interpreting that as fear and worry that they will be the seat mate I am crushing under my massive size.

4) Worrying about whether or not the seat belt will fit without an extender.

5) Not being able to join my work colleagues in the hot tub or pool after a long day.

6) Not being able to wear those cute little black dresses and strappy heels that other women wear to our cocktail parties and fancy dinners.

7) Giving speeches and presentations where I feel like people are not focused on what I'm saying and the value I give to the organization, but instead, thinking about how grossly overweight and uncomfortable I am.

and more, I'm sure. Now I'm depressed thinking about it. Gotta get on a plane for a 4-day fancy shindig in Colorado tomorrow...:grouphug:

thats funny about the towel i was just watching army wifes and they had a scene with her wrapping a towel around her and i thought its been a long time since i could do that!!!!! i cann't wait

Things I won't miss about being fat.

1. Not being able to buy petite clothing (petites seem to end at size 14).

2. Having strangers look at what I order/eat in a restaurant.

3. Having trouble getting up from the floor after kneeling to do something.

4. Dreading shopping for clothing.

5. Being the "fat friend".

I love this post!!!!! Everyone has something to add which is all the more motivating.

Here are some things I wont miss about being fat:

1 - People asking me if I am pregnant

2 - Everyone assuming I can eat half the buffet, and the sneers and under the breath comments as I approach a buffet

3 - Snarky comments from my in-laws

4 - Not being able to shave my legs in the tub without pulling something

5 - Getting winded from climbing a flight of stairs

6 - Obsessing about what and where I am going to eat next

There are so many to list !!

I won't missing going shopping, thinking I have something that might fit ok and trying it on in the dressing room and then, seeing there is no way it is going to fit me in a flattering way.

Going shopping in certain stores and seeing that the biggest size they have is one size below what I need.

Traveling abroad and feeling as though you are the heaviest person in the country, not just the room. Actually it is kind of sad coming back in that I can blend in easily and not be the heaviest here. There is a huge difference in body size here as compared to many countries abroad. Obesity has become such an epidemic here that eventhough you notice how overweight you are, other people just blend in to the background.

I won't miss:

Being/or feeling like I'm the heaviest person at any function

Trying to find something or anything pretty to wear to any function

Being the fattest mom among my kids friends

Always wearing a jacket (as if it can hide that fact that I'm fat)

Wearing those ugly long granny dresses that they sell in plus size stores

Wearing granny panties - I can't wait to buy my first sexy thong

Always being on the bottom when making love to dh. Looking to be more agile, flexible and moveable

Shopping in plus sized stores

Not being able to sit in a booth

Being heavier than my dh

I'll add to my list as other things come to me. I love this. There is hope at the end of this journey

1. Not fitting into booths

2. Not fitting into seats at the movies

3. Being scared I'll run into someone I know when I go out somewhere

4. Not wanting to leave the house

5. Shopping at Layne Bryant and discovering their largest shirts STILL don't fit

6. Looking around every time I enter a room to see if I'm the fattest one there

7. Having people make comments about my weight...that are really nasty but they hide it behind "I'm trying to help you"

8. Being paranoid that everyone is judging me due to my weight

9. Cutting off friendships because I'm ashamed of the weight I've gained

10. That place UNDER your belly...
