    When you can't wear skirts to work in summer in Australia because the chafing gets so bad you can't walk by morning tea time,

    When everyone is deciding on new staff uniforms and you have to mention t hat they will need to ensure they come in larger sizes.

    When you buy new uniforms and the sizes are huge and you are so embarrassed having to write your size down on e communal order form.

    When you try to get up off the floor and have to roll yourself over and then grasp into the lounge to get up

    When you can't wear knee hi boots because you can't get them on over your fat calves.

    When the only decision you have to. Make when buying a new outfit has nothing to do with colour or style but simply "will it fit?"

    When you have to wear hankies under your boobs tucke ditto your bra to stop heat rash.

    When you can't grift in the pesetas at the local playhouse theatre.

    When you won't take your kids to the theme parks cause you knew you won't be able to go on any rides and they will need an adult with them.

    When your feet are so sore. By the end of the day you can feel them throbbing.

    When the medical reports say "Visualizing difficult due to large body habitus" and "a pleasant, well-nutritioned woman"...
    When the exercise video says to bring your knees up to your chest, and you hips can only bend to 90 degrees...
    When you sit back in a recliner, and your back fat rolls up to form a neck pillow...
    When you can't make your elbows touch your waist...
    When you smile and your eyes disappear...


    This has been a great post. I relate with so much of this (except for the penis disappearing thing, LOL) Haven't had the desire for sex in YEARS, been asked if I was pregnant. I've had folks wear my bras for hats, and had to put my boobs ON the booth table. I've used my boobs and belly as a table, and i only wear stretch pants.

    I so choked at the visual of the little kid being bounced off the trampoline.

    Thanks, everyone, for contributing your good, bad and funny moments...although I do think being mistaken for a whale on the beach by the Green Peace people was a joke...LOL

    Nutrimedics apricot spray is awesome for this ^^^ - I will always need it even when slim because my legs are just shaped like that *groan*

    you could easily fit a toddler's head into one of your bra cups :/

    I don't think that is ever going to change for me, no matter what size I am...
    I was a D when I hit yr 6 (and a size 8 aus), I was a G about a year ago am now a D/DD depending on the brand.

    LOL - my *friend* wears mine (as a joke) and she has far from a toddler size head - :laugh:

    When your 7 year old says " How come I'm flat ( skinny) and you're fat?"
    Or sits on your lap and pinches your fat rolls and says " seriously mom, this is gross"
    When your 7 year old refuses to wear her winter coat because she thinks it makes her look fat like her mom :o(

    Sounds like your 7 year old needs to learn some manners..

    Or a good old fashioned butt whipping!

    I had lots of signs but my final one was when I started knocking things over with my *kitten*. Including my kids. Doh.

    One of my cats took to jumping up onto my bum then my shoulders for a while.

    When you weigh your self 5 times in a row to see if the number goes down ..Move the scale around and all..

    i do that plus i got potty after a couple and i breathe out and blow my nose and i have even made someone else hold my hair away from me..

    one of the things that got me a girl i graduated with and had not seen in a while told me i looked good for having 3 kids she confused me for a friend of mine who was a bigger girl and only had 2 kids. i realized it when she called me the other girls name but it was still hurtful. then the worst part i had to tell her i had no kids and that was the other girl and she looked shocked

    When a creepy older male family friend whom you haven't seen since you were significantly thinner does a double take, scans his eyes up and down your body in a slow incredulous manner, and then tells you to your face that you've gained an unbelievable amount of weight.

    :( This happened to me.

    You have to hold you breath to tie your shoes.

    This! And you come back up dizzy and gasping for air!

    OMG I THOUGHT THAT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME... BUT THE GOOD PART IS WE ARE ALL DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

    you suffer from bootydo-- you stomach sticks out more than your bootydo

    all you friends hesitate and look at you after the hostess at the restaurant asks "table or booth"

    when your holding a baby means them potentially been lost in your bountiful bossom.

    the clapping you're hearing while exercising is not your imaginary cheering squad, it's your fat!

    Hahaha! That's me! Though I noticed the clapping isn't as loud these days. :bigsmile:

    when the Wii lady groans when you step on the board and as if that wasn't enough announces, "YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT!" and blows up your once skinny Mii.

    These are really personal responses.. but since nobody else has given them here we go. Probably TMI for one of the two!

    As a woman, you notice you have gotten fat DOWNSTAIRS... seriously. Ick...

    You go through a rough time because you have positive pregnancy tests but then the doc says otherwise... but your body says you still are. My doctor says its possible my body was still behaving as if I were pregnant and giving me a growing belly... but its possible I was just getting fatter. To this day, I'll never know :(
