The #1 Thing I Miss About Being Fat

Losing weight does have its down side.

If you had told me three years ago that I would sometimes miss being fat, I wouldn’t have believed you. When I was overweight, I thought being skinny would solve all my problems. That if I could just lose the weight, everything else in my life would fall into place.

Now, 40 pounds later, this just isn’t the case.

Don’t get me wrong. I am so happy I lost the weight, and while I’m still not where I want to be, I don’t ever want to go back to being as overweight as I was.

There are a huge host of advantages to being thinner now. I have more energy, I wear smaller size clothes, I am more confident, I feel prettier, I have higher self esteem. The list goes on.

Still. There are just some things that are easier when you’re fat. And at the top of my list? Not having to think about food.

The Weight Loss Mindset

When you embark on a weight loss journey, or any kind of diet, you really have to focus on everything you’re putting into your body. Every bite, every morsel of food, every calorie. It all adds up and it can make or break you.

Because of that, it’s inevitable that you become obsessed with food.
