Stuff Fat People Do

I just made a new post about a technique I call the "knee stretch" which I use to stretch my shirts out if they are feeling snug.
Read it here: http://www.businessoflosingweight.com/losingweight/stuff-fat-people-do-the-knee-stretch/

I plan to have a post a week about things that big people do that normal weight people probably don't do.

Anyone want to give up some of their secrets? Anyone have humorous things that will make us all say, "Haha! Oh yeah, I do that too!" ?

    ;_; I used to do the knee stretch. Sometimes I still do... Because my mom's always buying me clothes that are too small since I look like I should fit in them.

    Better yet ... we should have a clothes exchange. As we lose inches and our good clothes don't fit, send them down to us that have further to go. :P I hate buying clothes for the intermediary steps. If I'm successful, I won't be in each size that long. Heh ... if that is I should say WHEN!

    Yeah, I put baby powder all over my skin and under everything lol because it keeps me dry and keeps me from getting chaffed.

    Haha awesome. Very similar to my jeans-stretching: Put on jeans, then do some squats and lunges to loosen them up. Though I haven't had to do that in a while!! :D Something must be working, hahah.

    Wear bicycle shorts under my skirts to avoid chub rub

    Only fly if I am traveling with my husband or one of my sisters since I only want to squish the people I love and not some poor innocent stranger.

    I make my husband carry double weight in his backpack when we're hiking since I already have 150 extra pounds to carry around.

    Never ever put my clothes in the dryer

    Hide behind people in pictures so I look like a floating head in the background.

    Check the weight capacity for EVERYTHING before using it, and then use it anyway but oh so gingerly

    float without trying in any position

    "Discreetly" adjust my clothes every time I stand up to make sure that they're not stuck in some fat roll or ridden up over my fat butt.

    Yeah, I could go on and on but I've already given away too many of my fat secrets.

    I was thinking the same thing about the jeans stretches. Now I'm wondering if we should log those as exercise, then eat the calories back? LOl

    just read your blog entry. to prevent the "knee wrinkle" i put my arms into the shirt (but not into the arm holes) and then stretch the shirt sideways. i finish putting the shirt on and if it still needs a little more, i slide my hands up inside the shirt (like i'm feeling myself up), to my shoulders and then extend my arms away from my body while moving them down towards the hem (always exerting even pressure to keep the "wrinkles" at bay). i don't have any armpit issues with doing it this way. if you're the one doing laundry, it also helps to stretch garments when they come out of the washer, but before they go into the dryer. i often do that when shirts have shrunk from neck to hem.

    but never fasten it up as that could accentuate the rolls... ;)
