what do you hate about being "fat"

Being constantly overlooked. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not fat, I'm invisible. I couldn't get a guys attention if I ran down the street in flames with a pack of wild dogs chasing me.
Exactly how I feel. I see guys breaking their necks to check out smaller ladies. I would love to be noticed once in a while.0 -
That they don't make attractive clothing in my size. Because I'm big does that mean I should have to go to Omar the tentmaker to get a dress?0

Going to places like the mall and feeling like the Cabbage Patch doll in a room full of Barbie dolls. And then crying because I can't find any clothing that looks good/fits AND is within my price range. Fat clothes are expensive!
Very Well Said!0 -
I hate not feeling desirable. ):
Even when guys ARE checking me out, I don't recognize it because I think there's nothing worth checking out. And that's irritating.
This..100%
And keeping my old jeans wishing I could just one day all of a sudden fit back into a size 9 =/ but realizing I'm still in these "fat" jeans for awhile0 -
I hate that my rolls hang out! I would like to look flat and not bumpy! Except for my chest that can stay!0
-
Not feeling sexy. Sexy's coming back though!0

The constant everyday battle I have with food. It never goes away.0

Designers who think all women size 18+ have short legs! Never could find pants long enough, so very seldom wore pants. Now I can find them long enough and some times even buy a tall (but have to hem them). Plus designers think all heavy women LOVE BIG prints...no way! At a siz 12 I now love my clothes and don't hide my body anymore!!! So much more fun to shop and dress!!0

I hate shopping for new clothes right now.. I always leave the store feeling bad about myself..0

For all my big chested-girls, having to go to XL in a shirt or dress when the rest of your torso is a M or L. Just makes things so much worse.
This is me. I can't buy pjs because if the top fits the bottom doesn't.0 -
The one thing I HATED about being fat when I was....was how I felt about myself. I HATED myself and I never want to feel that way again.0
-
Looking in the mirror and seeing that my biceps are bigger than my whole head...I feel like I look out of proportion.
My toddlers grab and pinch my excess belly
Other then that...regardless of size, I've always been able to find a happy state of mind. It just would be really nice to wear a bikini WITHOUT the excessive jiggle.0 -
trying to workout on a machine, like stair climber, thats "hard" for you and your dying after 5 mins and having the model next you running up the damn stairs lol I WILL BE THAT GIRL ONE DAY! :laugh:0

I hate eating in front of others. I always wonder what they are thinking.0
-
The inside leg bit of jeans and trousers wearing away before the rest of them is worn out. There's no fixing legs-rubbed denim! Stupid giant legs0
-
Also, finding those awesome, super cute knee high boots..sitting down to put them on and they stop zipping up half way up your calf =/ It's a problem that runs in my family and idk if I'll ever be able to wear cute boots0

No "middle-of-the-road" clothing options for adults. Apparently fat women come in exactly two flavors: 80 years old or super-sassy diva. I don't like pastel tents (Lane Bryant) OR leopard-print leggings (Torrid), so I've just kind of fallen into a rut of ill-fitting jeans and baggy T-shirts. That was fine for middle and high school, but I'm almost 22. As I've slimmed down, more options have become available to me, but now I have no idea what I'm doing, so I usually just reach for what I know anyway.
Plan A for when I reach my goal weight and have a closet full of things that don't fit is still to try to get on one of those TBS makeover shows, like What Not To Wear, so I can both get new clothes and learn how to dress like a grownup in one fell swoop.
Have you tried Maurice's clothing? They have some toned down options that are not so diva like.
What do I have about being fat? I hate the sloppy feeling I have. I feel like I am wearing a bulky coat and need to take it off NOW!0 -
Havin non of my best clothes fit n my kids gettin the piss taken out of them for having a over weight mam!0
-
Binge eating, cant buy normal size clothes0
-
Back fat :grumble: Esp when picking hay bales up out of the field and all the sweat that gets "stuck" in those back fat rolls.0
-
Carrying all my fat in my stomach and NONE in my butt or chest :-(0
-
Struggling to paint my toe nails! And being scared of summer outfits.0

When my wife and I had a heart to heart on why we weren't intimate anymore...and her response was "Well, maybe if you lost some weight"0
-
Back fat. Face fat. Looking lumpy in clothes. Belly rolls. Pretty much everything.0

I'll second that one! I hate feeling so down on myself when I know that I'm better than that. Trying to get healthy body AND mind wise so I can recognize that I am a person of worth and dammit - a guy should be lucky to have me! :happy:

Why did you put quotation marks around the word "fat"?0
-
This thread made me cry, it is so heart warming to know that I am not alone in my feelings. Thank you all so much xx0

Being too tired; all the time. My daughter would want me to play or jump on the trampoline and I was just too tired, still am but I'm working on it.0
