accountess 0 Posted October 5, 2008 I saw this in another thread a while back and thought it was hilarious and had some great ideas. So, what won't you miss when you lose the weight? My list includes: * Shopping at only Lane Bryant * My knees hurting * Asking for a seatbelt extender on a plane * Wearing an all black swimsuit with a skirt on it to try to hide as much as possible * Avoiding sleeveless shirts * Being tired at about 2 pm on an all-day family outing Any other ideas?

newby23 0 Posted October 5, 2008 I read a thread like this a while back too and think it is awesome. There is so much that I won't miss. A few things on my list are: *Not being able to tie my shoes without a struggle *Not wearing cute shoes due to a lack of wide width *Hiding from cameras (I swear they add 20lbs) *Not riding roller coasters with my kids and hubby (fear of restraints not holding) Just to name a few :tt2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heartfire 4 Posted October 5, 2008 *Thighs rubbing together *Trying to heave myself out of the couch *Not being able to walk into ANY store and find my size (boutique's, tourist shops, etc.) *Skirted swimsuits *When at a dinner at church (or wherever) looking at the space between backs of chairs and wondering if I can get through without bumping into someone or having to have someone get up to move their chair *When at said dinner, being the one whose chair sticks so far out into the walkway that people can't get through easily *Always feeling so smooshed up and things popping out (stomach!) when sitting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

accountess 0 Posted October 6, 2008 I forgot to add that I won't miss lying about my weight on my driver's license. I am about 13 pounds over what I have had on my license for years. At one point I was nearly 75 pounds over what the license had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mominflorida 0 Posted October 6, 2008 I won't miss: The "four boob syndrome." People saying "you have such a pretty face." Having to struggle up the stairs. Worrying about being the heaviest in the room. Feeling unhealthy and self conscience all the time. Buying way too many shoes and handbags because they always look good! Can't wait to: Look awsome in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt (with a cute belt)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Wow all of the above for me I won't miss huffing and puffing and going one step at a time up stairs. I now can run up them without being out of breath Able to walk for miles without getting winded Not having that huge stomach sticking out front any more Crossing my legs comfortably for the first time in years. One of my double chins is finally gone for good Just the all around feeing good about myself is the best thing ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gone 4 ever 6 Posted October 15, 2008 What I won't miss: Pretty much what was already said, but.. 1) judging chairs when I go somewhere..will it hold me or break? 2) avoiding stairs when at all possible or taking them 1 @ a time. 3) being afraid of falling and needing help getting up 4) asking my dd to cut my toenails when she comes over 5) the oh my goodness looks from people when I go out to eat.
