I won't miss:

being told by a six year old I have a double chin while I'm trying to teach a lesson (out of the mouth of babes)

scoping out a room to see where is the best place for a fat person to sit

avoiding looking in mirrors

no one taking me seriously because I'm fat

staying home so no one will see me

ugly shoes

boob shelf

sweat rash

being tired all the time

telling the husband no because I'm embarrassed

buying ugly plus size clothes

having my skinny friends pull the table toward them so I can get into a seat at a restaurant

I most definitely will not miss:

Having to special order suits at a premium price just to get something that is stylish and fits and isn't fugly.

Praying when I checkin for a flight that I can get an aisle seat. The middle and window are too uncomfortable.

Being able to let down the snack tray on the plane and not having my belly block it.

Thinking constantly about my size

Assuming that someone is making a joke when they compliment my appearance.

Big and tall stores with old men's clothing.

Working extra hard so that no one thinks that I'm fat AND lazy

Rolling out of cars. I bought an SUV to avoid it.

Running for the back row in group photos, even though I'm always one of the shortest people there.

Hypertension

Fear of diabetes

Thinking I am going to have a heart attack.

Oh, and excessive sweating. Yuck!

I won't miss being the biggest person in the room.

Feeling invisible, especially with men when there are thinner women in the room.

Not even being considered as dating material.

Feeling more and more like less and less

Reading all these posts is so therapeutic, I pretty much can relate to each one of them. I often felt like I was the only person who worried so much about the little things in life!! Thanks everyone for sharing

I will not miss the pain in my knees, ankles and back from all this excess weight I am carrying.

[drew05 20]

I won't miss being labeled the fat guy.

Umm won't miss not being able to shop for trendy clothes.

Worrying about work uniforms fitting properly.

I DEF won't miss standing out with friends.

I can't wait!

I won't miss:

-Wondering how it feels to be thinner.

-My fat knees.

- The sound of my thighs rubbing together.

-Being the "funny fat girl".

- Always wearing tops with sleeves.

-Pretending like I'm ordering food for me AND someone else.

- Not feeling sexy or feminine enough.

- Being sweaty all the time.

- Shopping in specialty stores.

- Feeling disgusted with how much I ate.

-Crazy grocery bills.

-Not finding pants that fit.

- Being embarrased or wanting to cry when I see pics of me.

- Feeling hideous next to my beautiful older sister.

:thumbup: Soon.

"Pretending like I'm ordering food for me AND someone else."

Yeah, and when I do this, I pretend I don't quite know what to get the other person. "Well, I guess, she'll want this. OK, give me one of those, too."

Omg I love this thread:thumbup:

I will not miss always running hot and excessive sweating for no apparent reason.

I simply can not wait until my internal thermometer is on par with everyone else.

Oh no I was no ordinary sweater....My scalp would sweat anytime the temp got above like 70, and the flop-sweat......oooh my it's just soooo disgusting.

That will be my "i got it" moment when I can function during the day without being so uncomfortable.

wow.... i swear this thread should be called "Reasons to have the surgery".

i've read all 14 pages, and i'm holding back tears. it sounds like my life.

i've been undecided about getting the surgery, but this thread has reminded why I don't want to be fat anymore. now if only I could figure out how to pay for it....
