I will not miss....
- sitting by the pool in shorts rather than swiming because I didn't want to be seen in my swimsuit.

Nope, I wont miss those things at all!

-covering up when company shows up when I'm at the pool

I will not miss...

- The hours of frustrating clothes shopping and going home with nothing
- The chaffing rash I get in the summer time because my bare thighs rub together

Thursday, June 8, 2006, 9:45 AM

I will not miss....

-Feeling embarrassed because I am overheating in the office and everyone else is cold!
-shopping in the women's section
-Being heavier than my husband

Thursday, June 8, 2006, 9:50 AM

I will not miss...

-Feeling like everybody is watching me when I eat.
-Being too heavy to fit on amusement park rides.
-Having a stuffed closet (bigger, bulkier clothes=less closet space!)
-Feeling so full after a meal that I'm miserable, but doing the same thing at the next meal!

Thursday, June 8, 2006, 10:15 AM

avoiding having my picture taking because i don't want to see the result

Thursday, June 8, 2006, 10:31 AM

I will not miss

- having to see pictures of myself and noticing my double chin
- looking like a beached whale in my friend's weddings.
- having my mom ask me when I will lose weight
- trying to find and wear size 16 clothing when I'm only 5'4" (what fits me in the waist is too huge in the butt and too long in the leg)
-trying to find anything size 16 in the "petite" section. (For some reason, the manufacturers seem to thing that if you are "petite", you can't possibly be "overweight"
- the slap in the face and humilation of having to order a size 18 dress for a bridesmaid dress and then having to pay an "extra fee" for the larger size. (My actual size should have been a 16, but the bridal salon decided they wanted to make money off of my alterations... GRRR-- they were snotty about it, too!)

I will not miss

- wearing shorts under skirts to avoid the "chub rub"
- feeling unworthy of my (skinny) boyfriend

taking such a high dosage of meds for my high blood pressure.

running from a scale.

Monday, July 10, 2006, 8:05 PM

I will not miss....

Feeling my thighs rubbing together.....or crying when my fat jeans are tight again.....or having the oh so lovely double chin in all of my pictures....or freaking out when my boobs get bigger cause I know that means im gaining again.

Monday, July 10, 2006, 8:43 PM

Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 12:43 AM

My tummy roll. Feeling self conscious. Not feeling sexy and beautiful! Telling my son not right now mommy's tired.

What I will secretly enjoy...
Having to buy belts because my pants won't stay up on my waist and I'm going through sizes so quickly I can't just keep buying new ones.
Have random guys on the street check me out.

Tuesday, July 11, 2006, 7:59 AM

What I Won't Miss...

That fat girl frowning back at me in the mirror
Those parts of me that I just couldn't seem to tuck into my clothes
The tears, sweat, and blood that I lost to get to where I am now!

Wednesday, July 12, 2006, 10:00 AM

What I will secretly enjoy...

oh, yeah, the flip side! Good idea 7:59 poster.

-resisting the urge to have a treat
-fitting into size extra small and size 6, for the first time since I can remember
-an attractive guy telling me he likes how I look in my tight pants

Thursday, July 13, 2006, 1:50 PM

What I won't miss

* Weighing more than my boyfriend
* Looking at myself and seeing only the problems with how I look
* Being the big girl out of all of my friends (I'm the tallest and weigh the most)
* The constant frustration of knowing that I could be healthier and thinner
* Trying on the size I think I wear and finding I have to go up a size
* Being ashamed to let people know how much I weigh and what size I wear
* Going shopping and not buying anything because all the clothes make me feel fatter
* Looking in the mirror or at pictures and being disgusted by my weight

Thursday, August 3, 2006, 3:23 PM

what i will never miss!

- weighing more than my boyfriend
- having the guy in the dressing room at the gap refer to my size 12 as the "big size"

- being able to run around the lake and pass all the walkers on the trail
- not having to worry about the "after shock" of my thighs and butt when i run

- listening to my mom's snide comments
- having to wear a sweater or jacket to cover up the chub known as my love handles

Thursday, August 3, 2006, 4:40 PM

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

Feeling like my life is on hold until I lose weight!

Thursday, January 25, 2007, 10:13 AM

i'm not going to miss:

- not being able to see my feet
- the rolls of belly flab when i sit down
- seeing pics of myself with a double chin
- being shocked that i can hardly lift my arms when i put on a jacket because it's so tight
- worrying about what i'm going to wear when i go dancing or out with friends because nothing i have camouflages my fat
- comparing myself to my beautiful skinny friends
- being scared when i go home to my family and worrying that they're going to say i'm too fat
- being scared to get on the scale in a doctor's office

Thursday, January 25, 2007, 11:06 AM

I won't miss:

-sitting on the sidelines of life because I'm too fat and out of shape to do all the physical things I used to do.
-'chub rub' between my thighs
-shopping at Lane Bryant
-avoiding the camera

Thursday, January 25, 2007, 4:45 PM

I won't miss
-my fat pants
-my old lady huge-size bras
-the pain in my back from carrying the extra pounds
-the pain in my knees and feet from running with the extra pounds

But one funny thing--when I was thinner/healthy weight, and biked a lot, I got a rash from my thighs touching even then. So, though I wouldn't miss it, I don't think I'll get the luxury of losing that one. I'm just built that way.

Friday, January 26, 2007, 2:31 AM

Even being in the proper weight range for my height...I, too, have thighs that rub. My waist, however, is nice and thin!

-I will not miss my butt being 2" lower!
-I will not miss the "good-bye" wiggle on the backs of my arms!
-I will not miss feeling less-than beautiful!

Friday, January 26, 2007, 12:37 PM

-I will not miss my grandmother pointing to an older picture of herself, my mother and me and saying, "we were all so much thinner then"...I'm not dead, grandma, just a little chubby! I'm still a human being...even with 20 extra pounds! I love you, but I hate the fact that you have made me feel like I'm less of a person because of a little extra weight. And the looks...oh, the looks.

Friday, January 26, 2007, 12:45 PM

What I look forward to:

-realizing that the "skinny mirror" is not a trick
-buying clothes online because I know they will look good no matter what
-digging out the box of cute clothes that used to be too small
-not being embaressed to wear shorts to the gym - cardio in long pants is just too hot!
-for that matter, feeling okay wearing spandex at the gym

What I will miss:
-the big boobs
that's about it

Saturday, January 27, 2007, 5:34 AM

what i look forward to:

suddenly thinking "hang on... when was the last time i binged?" and having to count the days back instead of automatically knowing.

having to wear belts on my trousers because damn they won't stay UP :)

having those bitchy girls in my halls look at me enviously instead of pityingly

being able to have sex without feeling sorry for the guy for having to appear like he's attracted to my body minus clothes.

Saturday, January 27, 2007, 7:08 AM

what i won't miss:

constantly having to buy larger cloths

not being able to enjoy food because of the guilt

not remembering what its like to feel comfortable in my own body

not being able to forget about weigh issues for more than a couple minutes

all the time wasted feeling depressed and fatalistic about my eating habits

all the opportunities I never took advantage of because of self-esteem so eroded by the extra pounds.

Saturday, January 27, 2007, 8:32 AM

What I won't miss...

...the bulging back fat that practically GLOWS through my shirts around my bra
...being able to try clothes on and have them fit PROPERLY
...never delaying on sending in measurements for a bridesmaid dress again
...saying no to going out or doing something because I look and feel FAT
...feeling cramped in an airline seat (granted, I haven't in years, but I'm dying to know how it'll feel with the last 23 lbs off!)
