    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.

    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?

    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!

    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 awhile

    I hate that my rolls hang out! I would like to look flat and not bumpy! Except for my chest that can stay!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 legs :(

    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!
