the clothes being ugly. *why don't they make trendy cloths for us

overweight women anyways?*

3. Having to make sure my shirts are long enough to cover my oversized stomach.

4. Looking at pictures of myself from my thin days wondering how I could let my weight get so out of control

5. Not feeling comfortable around my (inshaped) husband

6. People I went to school with looking at me in shock because I have went from 125 to over 200 pounds.

7. Not being able to play with my kids without getting out of breath within the first couple minutes.

8. Double chin

9. having to have long hair because short hair makes my face look even fatter

10. having to wear a bathing suit that has a skirt with it cause i dont want my thighs to show

1. Not being able to cross my legs

2. Not being able to cut my own toenails

3. Not going anywhere with my very outgoing husband because I'm ashamed of my weight

4. being paranoid of eating in public....."look at the fat lady eating all that food"

It makes me sad that you're so young. I really hope you get to experience being YOUNG very soon. All those things are how you should feel when you're getting old and slowing down.

That's really what spurred me on to having surgery. I didnt have comorbidities yet but I felt so tired and old, and that was from a relatively low BMI of 35. I am absolutely BURSTING with energy these days. The clothes and stuff are all nice, but its how I feel that really amazes me. I was missing out on life before.

Very best of luck!

1. Shirt stains because everything fell on my large boobs.

2. Using car seat belts with a winter coat on.

3. Fat roll rashes under my tummy.

4. That over stuffed from eating feeling

5. Hiding my eating from drive thrus all alone in my car.

6. Lack of physical energy.

7. Avoiding clothes in the back of my closet because they are to tight.

8. Finding decent underwear that doesn't look like granny panties for my size.

9. Avoiding old friends so they don't see I'm now huge.

10. The lecture from my Dr. to loose weight every single visit.

Things I DON'T miss about being overweight

1) Embarrassment eating out because I felt people were staring at me to see how much and what I would eat.

2) Avoiding meeting new people because I was so afraid of what they thought.

3) Avoiding seeing people I haven't seen in awhile because of how fat I was!

4) Not wanting to exercise outdoors because I thought people would be thinking, "Gees! It isn't working!"

5) Being bigger than my ex-husband

6) Afraid to get naked in front of a guy

7) Aches and pains

8) My clothes getting tighter, but dreading the thought of shopping in the plus section...so I just wore the same old stretchy stuff.

9) This one might be kind of weird...but part of me was afraid to get divorced because I didn't think anybody else would want me.

Things I won't miss are:

1. Asking for a table instead of a booth cause I don't feel comfortable in the booths

2. Shopping for clothes - everything has an anchor on it or some big ass flowers - What is that????

3. Back, hips, legs and feet hurting all the time

4. Taking diabetes medicine

5. Seeing my Ex and being so overweight
