Is there anything you miss being able to do?

Hi folks, I bet this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a thread.

Were you ever fitter than you are now? If so, is there anything you used to be able to do, and want to be able to do again?

Two things that just spring to mind for me:

When sitting cross-legged on the floor, I could stand without putting my hands on the floor. I haven't been able to do that in a while! It is a bit of hassle to get up.

 

I could run around a lot and not get seriously out of breath. Now, if I run for 3 minutes, I'm knackered!

 

On the plus side, I can walk *a lot* longer than I used to be able to. I used to have back pain as a teenager. Walking around shooping for hours on end would leave me in serious pain. Now I can walk many miles in a day! 

 

What do you miss? Are you getting any nearer to be able to do it again? Have you got alternatives? 

ohhh gosh.. I so miss being able to pick out anything in a store and know that there was a 99% chance that it would look nice on me.

 I also miss being able to cross my legs comfortably. I can still do it and all, but it's not nearly as comfortable. I miss that. This is a goal for the very near future.

 

 

I miss shopping for clothes in regular-sized clothing stores.

(But that day is coming!)

=^..^= MOLLY

Just buying clothes without trying 500 things on. Also I agree with amykara526, I can't cross my legs like I used to....I can still, but its certainly not graceful looking, or super comfortable...but I am getting there.

I miss swimming!! I certainly COULD now, but I'm too embarrassed by my body to prance around in a bathing suit.

I miss being able to EAT! When I was in Collage I use to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I was a 2 sport athlete then and was in the best shape of my life. I worked out everyday sometimes twice a day to the point of near DEATH! I miss the eating that went along with all that. I just hate how eating now has become a HUGE deal. I have to measue it all out and count calories. eating is a big pain in the ASS!

 I also miss going shoping and knowing what fit me. I can't belive I let me self go like this. But I am slowly coming back. I am a very competive person I guess from being an athlete so I am goign to get there. I am always happy to see that peopel have the same struggles so I know I am not alone in the fight to loss this mess.

 

 

I miss feeling sexy.  I don't like to undress in front of my husband anymore.  Not that he cares, it's just me.

I miss looking in the mirror and not wanting to cry.  I know it sounds horrible and exagerated, but it's true.  I agree with mrs, I want to feel sexy again!

And I want to be able to not worry if those super cute pants will come in a 14 and if they do, will the 14's fit?
