my answer is being cold all of the time.  I live in Wisconsin and I have been freezing since forever. I wore warmer clothes on hot days.  I actually need to wear a jacket now when in my fat days I didn't wear a coat until it was below zero.

What is your biggest complaint about losing weight?

I too feel very chilly now that the weather is getting cooler.  I'm losing my "padding!"

But the worst thing for me now is finding clothes that fit!  ERRR!!  I have been donating to Good Will everything that doesn't fit me anymore.  I have been buying from there, so that's been helping. 

But in the meantime, it's so frustrating going into my closet to find something to wear to work.  I do a lot of sewing, so I have been altering as much as I can, but you can only alter so much.  It takes me SO long to figure out what to wear.  It's just frustrating.

I try to tell myself better this way than not being able to fit in anything from gaining!

I used to tease all the women who complained of being cold all of the time.  So now I have to pretend I am warm even when I am not...lol.  

So yea, cold. 

No breasts but still having the bags they came in.  I know....ewww. 

And I don't know how thinner women have managed to get the right size in clothing all these years.  I am different at different stores.  Kohl's or like JCP I am 12.  Target I'm a 10 or 12.  Someplace like The Loft ...can't even fit in their 16's.  I mean I know I have a high hip:waist ratio but come on...I'm not total freak!  It seems that if you are lower income they want you to feel better about your size.  Higher end stores want to make you feel fat.  I don't like it.  So I guess it's a good thing I can't afford to shop in higher in stores, huh?  LOL

Oh yea...no butt padding. That does suck.   I forgot that one because I am sitting on my ****yx cushion right now.  Otherwise...ouch.

I'm going to have to go with the transitional wardrobe as well.

Since I'm not near goal yet, I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothing that won't fit very long, so it's very hard to find things to wear.

I just did a major cleaning in my closet last week and now it looks very sad and empty. With 50+ more pounds to lose, I've got a few more sizes to go before I stabilize so I don't want to invest in many clothes right now.

And I hate when I get something new that I love and barely get to wear it before it's also too big.

I'm not complaining about shrinking sizes. I'm just sad that I don't have the budget to keep up with it properly. LOL.
