Things I won't/don't miss about being Obese

Thread Starter  

Hi all,

Just thought we should celebrate the things we won't/don't miss about being obese. For me I won't miss,

Thighs rubbing together
Not being able to wear what I want
Squeezing into bus seats
Not being to go on all the rides at amusement parks
Huge food bills!
Being tired all the time!

Have a nice day everyone!

What a cool thread!

I won't miss:

*Heartburn!!!!!!!
*ill-fitting clothes
*squeezing into chairs with arms on them
*asking for the seatbelt extension on airplanes
*going through drivethrus at restaurants because I am too ashamed to actually walk in
*the snickers and snide comments of teenage boys who STILL make fun of me even though I am an adult
*the embarrassment of going to public swimming pools in a bathing suit

I will not miss finishing eating with stains on my boobs....they caught everything my mouth misses.
Buttons popping off my pants in the middle of the day.
Wearing the same pair of black pants to work because they are the only ones that fit. Hoping no one noticed.
Not going places because I couldn't walk....
Answering the phone and people thinking you were running because you are out of breath....all you did was get off the couch.

Also forgot to add :-

Finding it a struggle to get my own shoes on!
Trousers always getting holes between the legs
Ugly knickers and bras!
My phobia of plastic patio furniture I am convinced it will never hold me!

Ah yes very good and here is my list of some things I am looking forward to:
Fitting into one airplane seat
Being able to wear a bathing suit in public
Fitting into booths at restaurants
Being able to find clothes at normal stores without going to specialty plus size stores
Being comfortable in my own body

Susanbee! I hear you! It’s like having a shelf attached for catching stuff permanently! I will not miss that either!

LOVE this thread!
I won't miss...many of the things everybody else said! Plus...
*Looking at myself in family pictures with complete shame & embarassment, and throwing as many away as possible! (Consequently, not many pictures of me the last 20 years!!)
*Sitting with the old folks instead of swimming, biking, playing volleyball, softball.
*Carrying around a 'daddy max' super strong folding chair that weighs a ton because I am way over the weight limit for everything else.
*Only wearing two styles of shoes because my feet need all the support they can get.
*Wearing socks and shoes, even when it's 90! (see above)
*Wearing long pants when it's 100!
*My old 5X clothes!!!

I won't miss the way people look the other way when I'm shopping because they think I'm contageous or something. I won't miss the way I worry about being able to fit in chairs. I won't miss the way someone looks at you when you order an ice cream... like you are too huge to have one. I won't miss the way people in resteraunts look at you when you order. I won't miss not having pictures. I won't miss men not opening doors for me! I won't miss being snubbed by people I work with. There is so MUCH I won't miss!!!!!!

I am sitting here laughing at loud at some of the things ya'll won't miss/don't miss. It's really not funny, but I can relate to ALL of them. (Especially the one about answering the phone and the person on the other end thinking I ran a marathon.)
This is my first post on this site and I find it wonderful. I am in the pre-op stages of sugery. Had my first consult and weighing in for the first time Friday.
I won't miss:
Being out of breathe
Lane Bryant
Squeezing my @$$ into chairs with arms
Legs rubbing together
Not being able to have fun around skinny people b/c I think I'm being judged.
back aches
heart burn
Boobs all up in my neck when laying down.
