When I loss my weight,...

I will not miss... buying all my clothes at Lane Bryant, getting the seat belt extender on the airplane, chairs with arms, being winded walking up a flight of steps, worried about the poor horse I'm riding and I will not miss looking at the girl in the mirror and wonder who she is.

What about you????
(How do I make this sticky?)

I will not miss...having to "research" every place that I plan to go to find out if I will fit...(restaurants, tourist attractions, amusement park rides, etc.), ordering all my clothes from a catalog and having to purchase *anything* that comes in my size because so little does and then when it does fit having to get it in multiple colors so that I have enough clothes to wear during the week, being unwilling to fly without my husband because I don't want to subject someone else having ot sit next to me, being constantly concerned that people don't like me because I'm so big, etc.  The list is pretty long.

Thanks for the reminder of all the reasons I did this!

I will not miss...Being tired all the time,  pretending not to be completely out of breath when walking with someone,  being left behind,  sitting out,  not doing EVERYTHING I want to do,  feeling like everyone is looking at me and wondering why SHE is here,  not seeing myself,  buying cloths I don't like,  using the handicap bathroom stalls at school because the regular ones are so TINY I can hardly turn around to close the door.

I can't wait to NOT miss all this and more!!

I will not miss... being physically inactive, huffing and puffing around, shopping for clothes that look horrible on me anyway, being invisible... etc.. etc...

I will not miss..........

The way salespeople seem to ignore me, but help everyone around me.
Fashion Bug,Lane Bryant and Macy's plus section as my only clothing options.
Watching my kids play-and not playing WITH them.
Huffing and puffing around the mall.
The way trips make me feel. seems like more work than fun sometimes.
The way i feel going to the xcel or target center-the chairs and aisles are so small
Waking up, instantly seeing my fat face in my full length mirror and wondering what the hell happened.
Being the biggest mom at all of my kids sporting parents night.

Great reminder post!

I will not miss...

*Being fat!
*Having diabetes!
*Out on any more functions because I'm too embarrassed about being MO to go!
*Wetting my pants from the stress incontinence!
*Dreading the waterparks or beaches, because quite frankly I love water and I can't wait to be comfortable enough to go more than once a summer!
*Having swollen feet and ankles!
*Sitting and watching my kids play at the playground dying inside knowing the real me wants to be out there chasing after them and racing them on the swings! Trust me I try every once in a while but I get so exhausted so quickly and it takes the fun right out of it.
*Buying more clothes (at the places already named above in other posts) because mine "shrunk". ugh
*Stuffing myself in a seat and overflowing onto others sitting next to me.
*Crying my eyes out because I am so ashamed of my weight and appearance!

Oh the list could go on & on, but it's a good start.

Thanks for all the responses!!    I love them ALL!!!!!!!       Bless you for being honest.
We need to have a memory of what it was like when we were overweight, so we don't slip up and do it again.

   

I don't miss going a different direction because I knew I couldn't squeeze through a crowd of people.

Amen.......

I don't miss -

... sitting like a baseball player, 'cuz I couldn't cross my legs, much less keep my knees close together

...  hating everything I could wear

... knowing I was the most ginormous parent at the school for (concerts, conferences, events of any kind...)

... having to contort myself to shave my legs

... having my steering wheel upright like a semi truck, so I could fit under it

... being ashamed to get together with old friends, bigger than the last time I saw them
