Please don't say "none" and write a 3 page essay on how WLS changed your life.

I'm serious.

I've had some major wonderful life changes since losing the weight and I would never go back to being MO, but there were some advantages to being a big girl.

For me, the greatest thing was not having to deal with bones.

Last night, for example, I could not for the life of me get comfortable in bed. When I was big, my calves were so thick that when I lay on my back, my heels wouldn't dig into the mattress and hurt. I used to be able to sleep on my side and not having to hold a pillow to keep my shoulder blades from going out of alignment and doing weird stuff. I could sit down on a hard surface and not have to worry about butt bones hurting.

I used to be an outrageous flirt and say anything I wanted without worrying about it. It was fun. Can hardly make eye contact now without somebody wanting to take me up on something I didn't even offer in the first place.

So what about you? What "fat stuff" do you wish you could take with you on your journey into the thin world?

I'm sure they'll find other things to pinch as time goes on.

Being in nyc, I sometimes miss that extra layer of blubber in the dead of winter. lol

I have to confess, I miss my boobs sometimes. I don't miss bra straps digging into my shoulders because they were so heavy though, so I guess it's an even tradeoff.

Well...when I was going to school and had to walk home at night by myself...I would wear a hat and some type of coat or jacket to hide my breasts. Then I would stroll like a big azz dude (kinda gangsta leaning) with attitude...like daring Mofos to mess with me! It worked...half the time...women and MEN would grab onto their shioot tighter as they walked by....hoping that I did not MESS with them!

That's funny.

I used to be more confident about my physical space too, like I had enough bulk to back me up if needed. Being small makes you feel a little more vulnerable.
