Things only bigger people know and do...

My hubby thought I was going to pass out once while putting on my socks. He knew i was so ashamed...Ever since that day he started to play it off like he wanted to massage my feet and then put my socks on for me. Now that I'm losing weight, i'm proud to say I put on my own socks..lol but I still get the massage :happy:

I pick things up with my feet...can't bend over all of the time. You know you're getting fat when you bend over in jeans and lose circulation to your face... :embarassed:

One time I couldn't fit into some pants I had always worn so i wrapped a ponytail holder around the button and tied it into the hole on the other side.. gave me like another inch of wiggle room.. lol how ridiculous.

I did this for a few months with different jeans. mainly because I didn't want to go out and buy new jeans.

I did this very thing for a year or so.

i have a pair of maternity pants. they are my favorite pants. i sleep in them and wear them around the house. I rarely shave 6 inches above my knee. i always wear longer shorts. like no hoochie shorts. always fingertip length atleast but most are knee or calf. then i will drink several large glasses of water at a restraunt before eating so i am more full and have to pee alot during the meal so i have to step away from the food. i were a corset if im meeting someone i really care about how they see me as. i corset for crying out loud. i own 3 or 4.

All of you ladies should be ashamed of yourselves for the "shaving thing"

Somehow I knew a guy was going to come along and protest about that :laugh: lol!

Its a rare and lucky week when I shave ANY of my leg - normally I am either wearing long pants or I run to the bathroom and do like a really quick and dirty one just to lop off the worst patches. To be fair I hardly grow any leg hair (asian!) so its not like a forest, but I'm sure its relatively obvious when I wave my calves at someone (so I rarely do).

What's the big deal, its annoying to shave properly (without hurting your skin). Every so often I run into a walkin salon and get em waxed too but lots of weeks its ALL there.

No one can make me feel bad about it. I feel bad about all the girls who CAN'T leave the house unless everything is perfect, that's like 30 minutes of my life every day that I get to do other things.

Heh to the ladies tying their jeans on - I never got THAT bad but I was apparently squeezing an extra 25 lbs into my jeans - the pair I am currently wearing is just now starting to get EVER so slightly lose, only in that "oh hey these jeans aren't tight at ALL, and no muffin top!" way. I have no idea how I was jamming 25 extra pounds in there. like 25 lbs of muffin top???

My husband is Danish. He wouldn't care if I ever shaved. He says, "it's just hair."
But, I do, below the knee. If I am going swimming I will bush hog the top!

I used to avoid washing jeans because I knew once I dried them, I'd have to "break" them in. I would pull them up and do a few "squats" to make sure I could stretch out the waistband.

Wear layered shirts so I didn't look like I had belly sticking out.

I still wear 3/4 sleeve shirts because my upper arms aren't quite there yet.
