I NEVER wore leggings when I was bigger (I remember feeling fat in them), and always wore jeans (and always dark wash jeans, lol). I heart leggings! I feel the same way! At my current weight, I would never leave my house in leggings because I feel like they leave too little to the imagination. I wear dark wash, bootcut jeans 99% of the time that I am in public. I hope that I lose enough weight that I can wear leggings in public someday. 2 ChubRub and ms.sss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quinno 16 Posted August 17, 2020 I won't miss being able to go on vacation in the summer and going to the pool with my daughter in a pair of shorts and tee shirt. I won't miss hiding from the camera or only taking neck up pics and just the right angle. I won't miss being so tried when I get home from work to help around the house and go and do stuff with my family. I wont miss just being judge when I am with my husband who is 160 pounds and people eyeing us. 2 Sassafras1 and ChubRub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassafras1 63 Posted August 17, 2020 I won't miss feeling uncomfortable in every social situation - meeting new people because I'm fat, Seeing old friends because I'm embarrassed with how fat I've gotten since I saw them last. I won't miss travelling the world and only taking pictures of the scenery or my friends. I won't miss mentioning my weight in a joke or being self deprecating just so people know I am not oblivious to it, I am well aware of what's happening here. 1 1 RichelleGetsFit0309 and ChubRub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STLoser 1,099 Posted August 18, 2020 Oh, one thing I want to add. I'm 5'3", and at my high weight of 393 I was probably as big around as I was tall, and my stomach touched the steering wheel in my car. It was very uncomfortable. I am 343 now and my stomach no longer touches the steering wheel and I sure won't miss that!

Suzi_the_Q 257 Posted August 19, 2020 I won’t miss going to the beach with my family and having to stay back about 300m from the Ocean while they play in the surf because I can’t walk that far. (Like today.) 😢 2 ChubRub and Sassafras1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officially Not Fatty Matty 462 Posted August 24, 2020 I won’t miss having to stand around when at someone’s house and they’re all sitting outside in those cheap plastic chairs... “naw I like to stand...”(lie). when the reality is I’ve busted out the legs on them more than once.... 2 ChubRub and STLoser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Chunky_Cheese_ 3 Posted August 28, 2020 Soooo many things I won't miss, but the top of the list for me ..... driving with my toes because I've had to push the seat back as far as it goes to get behind the wheel. 2 STLoser and ChubRub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a related note: I won't miss being unable to see the clock in my car because I have to raise the steering wheel so high (to make room for my belly) that it blocks my view. I still have a long way to go before I'm not fat (not sure if I'll ever get to that point), but I can now put the steering wheel at a height that doesn't block the clock! 4 ChubRub, ChasD, WishMeSmaller and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ObaYele 3 Posted August 29, 2020 I hope this isn’t offensive but I won’t miss not being able to properly wipe and wash my butt because my arms can’t reach around fully! I love my bidet but hey, It’s a plus to do it myself! I won’t miss not being able to see my Vagina! I ain’t seen her in years and I’m looking forward to our Eye to eye reunion! I won’t miss not being able to fit in the clothes I like and being forced into the “old lady” fat fashions. I won’t miss not being to tie my shoes. I won’t miss being mistaken for being pregnant! I won’t miss difficult sex with my husband because I’m too big to drop it likes it’s hot when it’s not! Lol I won’t miss hating to go to my basement because I hate how tired I am coming up the stairs. I won’t miss my rants over using the proper angle to take pics so I can create the illusion of being smaller. 3 STLoser, ChubRub and Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billho 248 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I won’t miss- that fear in people’s eyes when I board a plane, or the fear I have that someone as big as me will sit next to me. going to sporting events and have to wedge into the narrow seat and be uncomfortable the hole time not being to find anything in my size that looks good. TMI- the fat roll beneath my waist not being able to keep my pants up without making my belt feel like a tourniquet Hating going to the beach or a pool where I will need to take my shirt off being the fattest guy in the room not being able to go hiking with my son (or if we do, it is much slower than he wants to go) not being able to jog using a CPAP feeling like a loser when I see friends or former classmates I haven’t seen in a few years not getting the job after they see how fat I am having boobs bigger than my wife’s Edited August 29, 2020 by WEH 3 Arabesque, ChubRub and Officially Not Fatty Matty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janc75 43 Posted August 29, 2020 I don’t miss hiding in the back in pictures. I don’t miss crying in dressing rooms. I don’t miss standing next to my tiny sisters and crying when I get home bc we had to take a family picture and stand side by side. I still cry when I see those pictures. I do miss being able to lose 5 lbs in a day 😂. Now 5lbs is super hard work to take off lol. 1 ChubRub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
