    I've got one more.

    When I can't afford to buy new clothes and the few jeans that I have are beginning to wear thin between the legs where my thighs rub. I have two pair of pants worn thin in the middle and i still wear them I just pray no one sees the hole.

    this happens to all of my jeans!!!

    I used to have this happen too. There are iron on repair kits for this problem. The hard part is matching the color so it isn't noticeable.

    Ohoho, just you wait. There's this bizarre Twilight Zone of women's clothing that exists between plus sizes and straight sizes. I'm a size 12-14. Too big for the straight sizes but too small for the plus. Occasionally I find something that happens to be cut such that it looks all right. I tried on five pairs of jeans today, all 12 Short, all 4 fit differently. Clothes are gonna get harder to find before they get easier, just so you know.

    Yeah you can try on 4 size 12's all in the same BRAND and all 4 will fit differently. The people who manufacture women's clothing are *kitten*.

    Mine is usually a photograph. I always look 10 times worse in photos than I actually think I look when they're taking it.

    Not feeling attractive, no confidence, when relatives pick on you for being the fat one

    Lack if nice clothes I can find, being the 'fat' friend, being the one who has to carry my skinny drunk friends home when they are drunk (but I guess that will never change haha)

    The inability to run like I used to. When I was in the military, a 4-mile run was just a walk in the park. With the spare tire, a 4-mile run is fantasy land now. It won't be long before I'm running long distances again though.

    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.




    Same here

    Many things...

    I don't want to change the pick on the site of me from 2009! Looked so much better then but, I don't look like that now and I still needed to lose weight in that pic. I am sure many people don't have the most recent pic of them for those that actually include a real pic of themselves. I guess I leave it there to remind myself how much better I was.

    Running into someone I haven't seen in awhile and the person's jaw drops. Of course it's going to I have packed on 40 lbs!

    Not wanting to go out because I don't want to be an embarrassment to my husband. (my husband loves me more than anyone-this is just how I make myself feel). Argh!

    "That one fat chick is good looking, but she'd look better if she was skinny" I've heard this countless of times and I personally dislike it, but when you live in Miami and have to compare to these barbie dolls... I suppose you are that one fat chick amongst good looking friends.

    Double chin, back fat, my fat stomach, trying to pose in pictures to look the least fat, not feeling confident enough to flirt with really cute/fit guys because in my mind they've already rejected me, worrying about my health, my aching feet that are suffering from carrying around all of the extra weight I've gained over the last few years, the clothes that are hanging in my closet that I can't fit into any more but I don't have the heart to get rid of (again...got rid of a bunch of smaller stuff about a year ago and have outgrown many things that I kept.) I could list a lot more, and I relate so much to what many of you have posted.
