I'm curious ... what will you miss most about being FAT????? I mean, sometimes is does have it's advantages, doesn't it? :confused2:

I think I'm going to miss the natural shelf I have where I can set my plate when I'm eating in my Lazyboy (since I have small breasts and big belly it works out pretty nice). I suppose when my belly gets smaller I'll just have to find my lap somewhere.

I'll also miss those nice folds of flab that make convenient hand warming places.:angry:

What will you miss most?

Nothing! I will even be happy about only being an A. I'd rather be thin and have no chest than to be how I am now.

What will I miss??? I will miss having a smooth wrinkle free face. I am turning 40 this year and I look much younger (The photo on my profile is a current one) and I think it is due to having a chubby face...the fat fills the wrinkles. I know when I start losing weight I will quickly have wrinkles come out of no where!

Thank goodness I am a full believer that we should grow older gracefully, I just do not want to look old so I am swear by plastic surgery :thumbup:

There's a couple of things I miss.

I miss the fat on my knees. I cant lie on my side in bed anymore, becuase my knees resting on top of one another hurts. Just out of interest, there's been photos galore of Victoria Beckham here, with a weird dent in her inside thigh just above the knee in several of those Which Celebs have had Plastic Surgery articles in the tabloids. Apparently that's a dead giveaway for thigh liposuction. If so, how come I have it too? I've never been lipo-sucked.

I miss the fat on my chest too. Its absolutely GROSS when I like on my back in bed. Its all ribs, and a huge dent at the solar plexus and you can see my heart beating. It's completely gross. Of course that's because my boobs are lying under my arms when I lie that way.

I want some more fat on my hip bones too. Everytime I go to the physio and get my lower back worked on, it kills because my hip bones arent cushioned and I'm black and blue the next day.

And my face. I hear you Dawn. I really do look 40 now. A good 40 since I've always taken care of my skin in the sun, not abused in in tanning beds and looked after it. But I didnt look 38 2 years ago. Losing the fat on your face is a bit of a shame.

NO clue but I can not wait to find out..

By the way JACQUI, I sleep with a pillow between my knees...have since childhood...I must have had knobby knees then! I also use a pillow between my feet...can't stand them touching!

Truth be told, I have a pillow by my stomach sorta under the girls (boobs) and them one on the small of my back....and under my head and....OK so I am a pillow freak! Good thing my DH doesn't mind cause I am NOT a snuggler! Except my poodle thinks I am! LOL

Jacqui, you don't look a day over 35 and even then you could pass for younger.

There are times I miss the simplicity of shopping for clothing. There were two stores, with only a few styles I would wear and in fewer colors I'd put on. So it was easy. (BUT not FUN).

Now I'm forever trying things on and I can't decide X or Y or Z or A...it gets a little frutstrating. But it can be fun trying if I'm not in a hurry.

Oh, I can TOTALLY relate to that one! I would love my boobs to stay where they belong. They behaved much better before I lost weight.

Not mine. They are already long and droopy. Losing weight will just make them flatter but they'll still be long and droopy.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
