These are the first 30 things that come to my mind that i will NOT miss about being fat. I am sure i will add more in the future!!

1. I will not miss finishing eating with stains on my belly....it catches everything my mouth misses.

2. Buttons popping off my pants in the middle of the day.

3. Wearing the same pair of black pants to work because they are the only ones that fit. Hoping no one notices.

4. Answering the phone and people thinking you were running because you are out of breath....all you did was get off the couch.

5. Finding it a struggle to get my own shoes on!

6. Pants always getting holes between the legs

7. Phobia of plastic patio furniture I am convinced it will never hold me!

8. Fitting into a airplane seat

9. Being able to wear a bathing suit in public w/ no cover up

10. Fitting into booths at restaurants

11. Being able to find clothes at normal stores without going to specialty plus size stores (No More Lane Bryant Expensive Stuff)

12. Being uncomfortable in my own body

13. Looking at myself in family pictures with complete shame & embarassment, and throwing as many away as possible!

14. Being tired ALL of the time

15. Pulling myself out of my car instead of gracefully stepping out

16. Being out of breath each time I go up or down the stairs

17. Being uncomfortable having sex because I am uncomfortable with myself

18. Dreading chairs with arms

19. Afraid of parking to close to another car and not being able to get out

20. Making my husband feel bad because he can't buy me clothes.( b/c i wont tell him what size i wear even tho he doesnt understand womens sizes)

21. Not being able to wear cute shoes because of the width

22. Creaking furniture when I sit down that doesn't creak when anyone else does

23. Buying jeans two sizes too big because I know I'll get fatter anyway

24. Being totally self-conscious

25. Calculating my own weight into a full elevator and wondering if I will be the sole cause of it crashing

26. Hiding my body from cameras

27. Not getting my period.

28. Not being able to get pregnant SOLELY because I am too fat

29. Being pregnant and NOT LOOKING pregnant

30. Listening to my grandma tell me shes worried about my health and i need to lose weight.

I could have written this myself! I think I might do the same too, the list looks great. Do you feel better getting it all out?

Yea it does feel good. Those are the things i have to worry about daily and also a enforcer to lose weight. When i lose weight i will not have to worry about any of those things and it will be GREAT!!! I will get to be me without worrying about my larger outside! I CANT WAIT!!:thumbs_up:

3. Wearing the same pair of black pants to work because they are the only ones that fit. Hoping no one notices.

I'm doing that now! LOL I actually have 2 pairs of black pants that I go back and forth with because they fit me so comfortably. I just recently bought a pair of grey pants so now I have 3. LOL

OMG! Just love this list. Like if I said it from my head!

Hope all is well!!
