Do you still have some FABITS (fat habits) that are hard to shake?

 I realized the other day that I still navigate right to the handicap stall in public restrooms. That's the only one that used to be big enough pre-surgery. So it was a nice "wow" moment to realize I didn't need it anymore, but a hard habit to break. How about you all...got some old habits that just won't die?

When looking for new clothes I always go to the 'plus size' department before I realize I don't need to be there anymore!

I hear you! And I still tend to buy up a size or two. I'm not sure if that's due to insecurity about whether or not they wil still fit in a month, or just that still plus-sized image I have of myself when I look in the mirror. That's a tough one to break.

Grammy,
Why is it that when I was plus size, I had to struggle to find clothes and now that I'm in regular sizes the clothes look so cute in the plus sizes? 
I know they didn't have that many cute clothes in plus size before.
Go figure.

I still put WAY too much on my plate at a buffet.

Wow! you still go to the buffet..
I have found it to be a sin.. that is one habit have broken

Eating at a buffet is a sin?

Ditto to all the previous posts...especially for my eyes being bigger than my stomach!  I take and order way too much food and end up taking home left overs that last for days! 

One of my fabits that I noticed this past weekend was shopping...looking for the largest changing room and then refusing to believe my newer size.  I was pulling 2x and 3x's off the rack only to slowly work down to an XL (in a Spanx no less!).  When I asked my mom to get an XL for me and handed her the 3x to put back on the rack, she asked me why I would even take the 3x...I told her I couldn't help it and that I don't realize that I am smaller.  I still see and feel myself as huge. 

I only imagine that this journey will get stranger as I lose more...I am still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that I am on the verge of not be able to shop at Lane Bryant anymore ... I almost cried when I fit into a 14/16 sweater...from happiness AND sadness that I won't know how to shop anymore!!!

I hear all of you! I sometime dread putting on my shoes & then remember...oh, it's not bad anymore, I can still breath! I still reach for candy at the check out line in the store, I do still go to the big stall first in the bathroom, I do still struggle with what I see in the mirror...is it small, is it big, is me, is it a dream! It is all wierd~ Holli

I very rarely went to a movie theater, but when I did, I always made sure I sat on an aisle seat so I could sorta "lean over" to give myself more room.  In fact, anywhere I ever sat in public, I desperately looked for end or aisle seats, tables instead of booths, etc.  And even though now I can sit anywhere, in any kind of seat or location, I still kinda hesitate and can't believe it!
