35 Things I Won't Miss About Being Overweight

35 things I won’t miss about being overweight

1. Rolls. I know we all have them. But when you’re overweight you have them no matter what position your body is in.

2. Never being able to find cute or pretty things in my size. Seriously, just because I’m overweight doesn’t mean I want to dress in a tent.

3. Plus sized clothing costing 2-3 times as much as the regular sized stuff. If you haven’t looked, look. I can pay $35 for a shirt that costs $10 for the same thing in a medium or large.

4. People referring to me as having a good personally, like that explains everything.

5. Always being asked how much weight I’ve lost when they find out I’ve been exercising and eating well. For one, muscle is more dense then fat so I might have loss inches without losing pounds. Not to mention that I hate the constant reminder of what the number on the scale is falsely telling me about my health. I once knew a girl who lost 50+ pounds but she absolutely hated people knowing that number. I didn’t understand then, I do now.

6. Getting winded going up stairs.

7. Feeling like I’m going to break everything I sit on, lean against, bump into, touch…

8. Having a double butt.

9. No cute bras that fit. Why must large chested women wear bras that look like nursing bras? Don’t we deserve something pretty too?

10. Not fitting comfortably in chairs, cars, couches, airplanes, etc.

11. Not being able to go on rides at amusement parks or on ziplining adventures.

12. Always checking and being worried about the weight limit on things.

13. The thighs wearing out on pants before anything else.

14. Walking on the hem of my pants because they always seem to think that if you’re plus sized you should either get the petite pants (which is for short short people and fits everyone else like capris) or your pants should fit women who are over 6 feet tall.

15. My thighs cheering me on…

16. Chafed thighs, nuff said.

17. Is this supposed to be a blanket or a shaw?

18. I’m flexible, always have been. Splits? No problem. Feet behind the head? Pfft easy peasy. Since I’ve gained weight I’m like, how can I move the cushion around so I can actually get good stretches going? The flexibility didn’t disappear with the weight gain. But the gain has made it difficult to maneuver.

19. Baths that only cover half of my bottom half.

20. The lack of respect from others. The judgment and whispers.

21. People thinking we haven’t had a kid because of my weight. Nope, not the problem people.

22. Comments, whispers, judging when I want a second serving while the fit girl next to me has 5 serving and everyone just thinks its cute.

23. The feeling I get looking at the changing room mirror.

24. Wanting to wear all black because its “slimming” and secretly wishing it made me look like a sporty ninja like I am in my dreams…kicking butt, saving the world, all that jazz.

25. Knowing that the end weight goal is SOOOOOO far away.

26. The main goal being weight loss and not trimming up or defining my muscles.

27. Not being able to fold into a ball on chairs like I used to. Its incredibly comfortable, or at least it was.

28. People thinking I’m pregnant…at the hospital ER

29. Being the largest person in the room.

30. Always feeling to big for everything and everyone.

31. Being excluded from fitness things because they don’t think I can do it because of my size. Give me a chance people! Maybe I’ll surprise you.

32. Jiggling. Like holy f*** jiggling is messed up and sucks and makes me feel worse.

33. Not going to the pool or beach because I’m afraid to wear a bathing suite.

34. Not wearing tank tops where people can see me no matter how hot I am or how comfortable they are.

35. Looking at booths in restaurants and wandering if I’ll fit.

It was way to easy to come up with these 35 once I got started. I could keep going on and on. Maybe one day I’ll do a 100 things. But I’m doing 35 because its almost my 34^th birthday and I would like a lot of these to disappear or be better before my 35^th birthday.

Do you have a list? What would you add to this list? I challenge you to add at least 3 things to this list, either in the comments or on my facebook post.
