Things I will not miss
This was written by a friend of mine, but it really hits home.
The indentation of my body on my bed.
-Bras that don't fit.
-Getting out of bet with back pain.
-Standing to do anything, with pain.
-Checking to make sure the chair you are going to sit on will hold you.
-Having boobs that feel like weights.
-Struggling to fit into a hairdresser's chair.
-Feeling like a beached whale if I lie down.
-Not being able to clip my toenails.
-Having so much weight that I feel like I'm being smothered when I lay down.
-Having food as my best friend.
-Lifting up my stomache so it isn't pinched when I sit down.
-Fitting into a bathtub and not being covered with water.
-Being embarassed in the checkout line at the grocery store.
-An all black wardrobe.
-Elastic waistbands.
-The three or four X's on my clothing.
-Shopping in the men's department for clothes.
-Having the seatbelt choke me all the time.
-Not being able to "wipe" yourself properly.
-The feelings of worthlessness and guilt after eating anything.
-Constantly trying to hide my "rolls".
-Being ignored by people in social situations.
-Being passed over by staff in restaurants & stores, to serve someone else.
-A TOTAL lack of libido.
-Using the handicap stall because I need more room.
-Sitting awkwardly in a chair because I can't cross my legs.
-Laying around AVOIDING life because I don't have the energy to LIVE it.
-Having to ask for an armless chair or a booth because I don't fit into the regular chairs.
-HEARTBURN!!
-LOW, LOW self esteem.
-Seeing the repulsion in my Dr.'s eyes when having to go for an exam in the "girly parts".
-Hearing the Dr. talking with the nurses about how gross it was when within earshot.
-Complete strangers sharing weigh****chers success stories with me.
-Catty and snide remarks.
-My belly being what determines the position I have sex in.
-Pain in all my joints.
-Feeling the need to choose an occupation where I'm alone, to cover the shame.
-The horrified look people get when they think I might sit next to them on the bus.
-My complete lack of a social life.
-Having to wear a mini-pad in case of leaks.
-Feeling slight relief when I'm NOT the largest person in the room.
-Being a couch potato.
-Don't even get me started on swimsuit shopping.
-Being out of breath every time I climb a flight of stairs.
-Having each new doctor ask me if I've "considered losing weight".
-Needing to have a sense of humor to cover up the hurt.
MOST OF AL...THE LONELINESS.
