[odawa 0]

Awesome thread!! I will not miss my CPAP machine!! I hate that thing. It has really cramped my sex life because I havent let anyone see me with it on

and picnic tables. I'm always scared they will shift or creak when I sit down.

Clothes that fit last time I wore them, not fitting today.GRRRR

wanting another cookie when I know I shouldnt eat it.

I cant wait to fit my daughters clothes. Hee hee I've been telling her hey I like that shirt, dont get it messed up, here I come!! lol

Hi, Am still waiting for insurance OK but I definitely will not miss being recognized by my size, not myself.

Won't miss trying to find a chair that I can sit in, and getting stuck in some.

Won't miss the stress incontinence (since I was pregnant 20 yrs ago) :sad:, nor the pain in my knees.

I definitely won't miss:

SWEATING SO MUCH!!! I always have to walk around with paper towels and pat myself dry, its embarrassing!

sleep Apnea - wearing a mask to bed isn't very romantic!

Shopping in the Women's Department of ANY store

My joints hurting

Legs rubbing together

And, believe it or not, my boobs! I can't wait for them to shrink...just a little! LOL!

Amen, Cappy!!!!!!!

This is such a great thread, I have been thinking about this before I found this and it's great therapy.

• Spanx everyday even when it’s 100 degrees outside
  
• Black pants everyday (I couldn’t imagine wearing another color right now)
  
• Lane Bryant
  
• Anxiety before going into a restaurant wondering if they will put me somewhere I don’t fit
  
• Seat belt barely fitting
  
• Airplane seats and belts (knowing they are smaller on small planes)
  
• Bar stools
  
• Avoiding people from my past so they don’t see how big I am
  
• My boobs catching everything
  
• Thinking everyone who looks at me must be in a negative way
  
• Watching my life pass me by
  
• The list goes on and on

"Watching my life pass me by".....that is exactly my feeling....all that time being miserable and fat looking terrible and not doing anything.....I dont want it to be too late, then I'll just be fat and old the best of my younger years of my life were spent being miserable.

Hi all,

Just thought we should Celebrate the things we won't/don't miss about being obese. For me I won't miss,

Thighs rubbing together

Not being able to wear what I want

Squeezing into bus seats

Not being to go on all the rides at amusement parks

Huge food bills!

Being tired all the time!

Have a nice day everyone!

As for myself, these are some things I wont miss about being obese:

Thighs rubbing 2-gether

Getting tired just walking through walmart

not being able to enjoy my kids (play with them and what not)

be to afraid to try to get on a ride cause I am afraid i wont fit in the seat

people looking at me in disgust including myself

ugly looking cloths (why is it so hard to find nice clothes for big people)

having to make sure my shirt goes down below my belly cause I dont want to show where I have dunlap syndrome (where you belly done lapped over you belt)

most of all what I wont miss is: having all the lights turned out and making sure that it is as dark as possible when my husband and I make love.

I've been reading this list for a long time, adding comments once in awhile. My lists were much like all of yours.

It occurs to me that... I am finally no longer the fatest one in church, at work.

I no longer have to buy 5X clothes from catalogs, and no longer have to buy the biggest size I can find...In fact, I even bought a regular ladies XL the other day!

I can see light between my legs when I stand (no thigh rubbing)

I can sit in any chair or booth, even with arms. Chairs don't groan when I sit on them.

I have to put my car seat closer to the sterring wheel and even back seat belts fit me. No more farthest back position with my belly hitting the steering wheel.

I weigh less than my husband. I can fit into his T-shirt.

I'm not all the way were I need to be yet...before I can cross everything off my list, but I have to tell you, everything I've done to get to this point was so well worth it!

It can happen to all of you too! Got for it!

Lizalee,

It must be such a reinforcing experience. Keep up the good work!!

Wanted to add, to things i won't miss-

the food/drink stains that miss my lips no matter how carefulbut not my chest/tummy.and having to wear the napkin as a a bib because drips never make it to my lap. Looking at my legs and seeing the same problems Mom and Grandma had (fluid retention and swollen ankles)

You folks complain about Lane Bryant, can't wait to ditch Catherines and the catalogs!!!

Can't wait to ditch the Birkenstocks and XXX wide athletic shoes in the catalogs for real shoes from the store!!( I hope)

I don't think I mentioned my thighs... I won't miss their massive size, nor the blackheads and darker skin on the inner-thigh. I am excited because I had to move my car seat forward 2 clicks to reach the pedals. I used to drive with the seat all the way back

Not being able to wear cute necklaces without extenders....forgot that one last time!
