I will not miss...

...worrying myself sick about whether or not I have suitable (and comfortable) clothing for special events or professional outings.

...paying twice as much for my clothing as other men do.

...wearing ugly, unstylish clothes because they are the only things I can fit into.

...the horrible feeling of not being able to clean myself fully.

...having to ask someone to help me because I can't physically do what needs to be done.

...worrying about what other people are thinking about my weight.

...the look of concern and disappointment in my Mother's eyes as she surveys how much larger I've grown since my last visit.

...being squuezed into seats at the movies.

...my belly pressed up against the steering wheel of my car.

...eating bags of fast food while lying on my bed in front of the TV.

...gastric distress.

...the realization that I'm the biggest person in the room.

Lordy mercy...I could go on and on... Thank you for posting this thread.

Oh, and BTW...none of these things is true about me anymore!
