    I think the worse thing ive experieced is having to deal with the mental "image" of myself that is not healthy/true anymore.

    Realizing my relationship with food was unhealthy and destructive.

    Focus of my weight everytime someone sees me who hasnt seen me in a while.

    Being scared of all that flabby loose skin that might show up! I've been big all my life and even though I'm only 22 (stretchier skin!) I still find myself worrying about it.

    My problem is STRETCH marks. Especially on my legs and thighs where I carried most of the weight I lost. :ohwell:

    When you are the only one trying to do it in your house, have to do different meals, and not eating MY SWEETS!!!!!

    I have to agree, when no one else in the house is doing it~

    ONE of the worst parts is when the clothes start getting too big (but the wonderful part about that is buying new clothes when I'm finally down to my goal weight/size).

    For me the actual worst part about losing weight, is looking in the mirror and seeing how far I've come but realizing that I've still got a ways to go. I'm thankful for my progress, but there's always more work ahead! :-)

    There should be a place on here where people can pass down their clothes to others. A pay-it-forward kind of thing. I would be glad to take anyone's size 16-20 when you skinny out of them :) I have some 22-28 to pass along too. If anyone needs them, send me a message :)

    Same.

    I gained most of my weight over one year, so most of my jeans have really bad thigh blowouts. I would be willing to take anybody's size 16 jeans!

    My wife says my suit is looking too big, at my size suits are pricy, and I don't relish the idea of getting a new suit every 20 pounds lost and then dumping it while its still wearable

    Right now the hardest thing is my fiance. It isn't that he is unsupportive (quite the opposite, he helps motivate me and tells me he's proud of me for pushing through harder and harder things). It's that he has hyperthyroidism and is struggling to GAIN weight. Since I love cooking, it can be hard to cook things that are healthy for me but will also pack pounds on him. Luckily we're starting to learn how to deal with this, but it's still tough at times.

    Second hand or consignment stores are great for this issue if you are just going through sizes.

    New clothes. I have one pair of jeans left that fit me. Being a law student, mom, and on one military income, I cannot justify spending $30+ for a new pair of jeans. I really wish I had not donated all of my other pre-pregnancy jeans :(

    PLATO's Closet (if you have one nearby, is a great place to buy name brand jeans for around $12!) Happy Shopping!

    Def the having to get new clothes, or having to wear a belt to hold up your baggy jeans. EMBARRASING

    I bought cute suspenders and I even wear them with my dress slacks (much to the chagrin of my 14 year old daughter!) Haha...I don't care, because I know that I am doing what is good for me...and someday soon...I will have a new skinny wardrobe...

    Also, meantime, I am shopping thrift shops and garage sales to find clothes that fit (also had a whole boutique of sizes in the back of my closet and it is very satisfying to go there and find something cute that fits again!! YAY!)
