I won't miss crossing my ankles because I can't cross my legs. I won't miss those small restaurant booths!!! I won't miss shopping at Lane Bryant and other "plus size" clothing stores. I won't miss getting exhausted just from cleaning my house. I won't miss the backaches I get from walking with my dog and husband. I won't miss avoiding Busch Gardens because I'm afraid I won't fit in the roller coaster seats. (AND I USE TO LOVE BUSCH GARDENS!!) I won't miss my ugly shoe collection because my feet are too fat for the trendy shoes. I won't miss looking at pictures I have taken of everyone and cutting/cropping myself out because I am so fat! AND FINALLY, I WILL NOT MISS THE ANTICIPATION OF WAITING FOR MY SURGERY DATE TO FINALLY ARRIVE SO THAT I CAN MEET THE NEW ME.

Deborah and Tiffany, those were great lists!! Gotta agree with just about all of them. I hear you about those flowered shirts! Also about the restaurant booths! I HATE those! I always have to eyeball them to see if I'm gonna make it or have to take a table with chairs. I'm not going to miss wearing all of my tops out instead of tucked in. Not going to miss grabbing hold of my ankle to lift my foot up just to cut my toenails. Not going to miss seeing someone's face fall when they realize they are seated next to me on an airplane. And NOT going to miss out on any more outdoor activities because I'm too short of breath to participate.

I'm not going to miss turning purple to pick up a dropped pencil from the floor. I am not going to miss ibuprofin every night just to sleep. I am not going to miss my husband waking me up because I am rattling the roof joists and he is afraid the house will fall down. I am not going to miss intimacy being such a physical challange. I am not going to miss dislocating my shoulder just to achieve personal cleansing. I am not going to miss my daughter drawing pictures of me with 3 chins. I am not going to miss the bruises across my hips attempting to fasten airline seatbelts. (as well as the looks already mentioned above.) I am not going to miss throwing my legs up in the air in an attempt to gain enough momentum to get up off our low sofa. I am not going to miss creaking knees. I am not going to miss having no lap for a little girl to cuddle on. I am not going to miss feeling as though I'm not entitled to the space I occupy. I am not going to miss swollen ankles. I am not going to miss my old body. The very best of wishes to everyone this month and for the rest of our lives. Jill

Knocking things off desks and tables as I squeeze by. Getting "the look" on planes when I have to take my seat. Screaming knees. Wondering if the chair will break. Dressing fat.

Since I'm reading/posting so late, I hope you all won't mind any repetitions...here goes! I won't miss... 1. watching my son sit on everyone else's lap b/c I don't have one for him to sit on 2. not being able to catch up with my son when he runs away from me in public (I'm so scared he'll get hurt or someone will snatch him) 3. my fear of airplanes (not fitting down the isle without turning sideways, being BARELY able to buckle my seatbelt & not fitting in the bathroom). 4. being insecure all the time, everywhere I go, even around my family 5. worrying about whether or not my next pregnancy will be so complicated 6. having to slide to the front of my seat before I can "rock" myself up to a standing position 7. the front tire on my bike going flat whenever I try to mount it and not being able to ride more than two blocks without nearly killing myself 8. the ugly plus-size clothes and "granny" panties 9. the body I'm stuck in right now 10. any other pain-in-the-@$$, embarassing, degrading, pathetic down fall to being this big!!!!!!!!!!! Good Bye to it all....I'm ready for the new "Dani Shell" Danielle
