What I Won’t Miss About Being Fat

• Seatbelt extenders (although I have never needed one, if I had one more sip of anything, it wouldn’t have fit)
• Not being able to cross my legs
• Being the fat friend
• Lane Bryant. Torrid. And the rest of them
• Sweating
• Weighing more than my husband
• Worrying about plastic chairs
• Holding my breath when bending over
• Being told I have a pretty face
• Rolls.
• Chins.
• Chub rub.
• Having a high heart rate whenever I need to step on the scale
• Having to go to the back of the store for plus size
• Spending way too much on clothes because of extra fabric
• People assuming I have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol (which I don’t)
• Having to straddle the toilet when closing a bathroom stall door
• Having to adjust my shirt when I stand up
• Having to take angled pictures
• Having to find a 38H bra
• Stretchy jeans
• Purple stretch marks
• Some doctors using the wrist cuff instead of the arm cuff for blood pressure
• Back fat
• Awkward tan lines from rolls
• The feeling that no one wants to sit by you
• Buying longer shirts so they cover my belly and FUPA
• My boobs. I will not miss them being this size.
