    This one happened to me the other day. Went to a restaurant the other day to celebrate mother's day (to a place I adore and haven't been to since I started counting calories because they serve very calorie laden food) and my daughter and I went to the restroom. This is a quite kitchy restaurant with funky stuff all over the walls. In the bathroom was a picture of a 30s or 40s sideshow fat lady on the wall. My daughter saw it and said wow mommy she looks like you! Now, I don't know if she was referring to me at my heaviest (standing in the shadow of 300) or now. But it tore me up either way. These women were billed as being somewhere around 500+ lbs back in the day. Not sure how accurate that was as sideshow folks obviously would want to exaggerate what they had to show, but still. And It's completely possible she was referring to our faces look alike or she's just not used to seeing fat women in photos besides me. But still, when you're getting compared to someone who is so fat she can charge admission. Well, then you know you are fat.

    When you can't lounge around in your boyfriend's shirt because it's too little for you!!!!

    Self esteem can be bad at any weight. I'm happier with myself now (50 pounds overweight) than I ever was when I was a size 4. Even then, my daddy would tell me I could stand to lose 10 pounds. I'm losing the weight now, because I know it will just be harder in years to come, and I want to be healthy and active!!

    When you look angry even when your in a good mood, just because the extra fat on your forehead makes you look like you are making an angry face.

    When you go to bed and your double chin makes a big sweaty crease between your neck and your chest.

    Some of these things that yall posted I had completely forgotten about since weight loss. It was fun to look back and remember some of those things and think about how much more will change when I am completely done with weight loss!

    Oh yeahhhh! And when your doctor (with a cute indian accent) says " Okay.... right now, if I take a knife and cut you from the middle of your forehead all the way down, I would have 2 healthy girls."

    When you have to rock back and forth to get out of bed and you end up rocking yourself back to sleep.
    I literally just laughed out loud!!! I know all too much about that.

    When you watch Man vs. Food and feel "I can totally eat that right now!"

    When you are willing to sleep with the "Sandwich King" for a sandwich.

    I got another one you don't smile in photographs or actually make it to where you don't even take photographs.

    Oh no, it's where you take all of the photographs so that you're not in them!

    And when people ask why you're not in any of the pictures, you either laugh demurely and say that you're just more of a behind the scenes kind of person or you act surprised and a little mad, like wow, I'm not in any of them?! Wow, what a crazy coincidence wonder how that happened.

    You get pissed when people tag you in pictures on facebook.

    These are all truths for me at one time, luckily I don't struggle with them nearly as much anymore...Skinny people just don't understand what goes through our heads!!!

    -When you wear shorts at times you shouldn't because pants make you too warm.

    -When seatbelts in the back seats of cars don't fit so you always have to sit in the front.

    -When you go the restaurant with friends and casually say "booth or table, doesn't matter" and in your head you are screaming, TABLE TABLE TABLE, because your fatass can't fit in a booth.

    -When you go to a restaurant/business/etc, and immediately start looking at all the chairs checking for arms, to see which ones you can fit into.

    I hate it when I go to parties and have to find a sturdy chair to sit in in fear of breaking on in front of everyone! This has happened to me, damn those plastic lawn chairs!!

    When you lay down and you wonder what the hell is under your body and making you uncomfortable. You look around and nothing's there. You lay down again and feel it again. Then you realize it's a fat roll. UGH. No more!

    you have a double chin double belly and double back
    when your *kitten* starts to blend in with your back
    when you have to take a break to tie your shoes
    when you split your skirt at work

    When you don't want to bend over to pick something up because it hurts and you know you probably can't reach it anyway. Then when you squat to get it, you struggle to get back up! :grumble:

    Your *kitten* gets stuck in a chair with arms.
    Yes that has happened to me. A patio chair. And it happened at a fundraiser! So there were about 100 people that saw it. That's when I decided I have to start eating right and exercising again.
    Plus, my jeans are too tight.
    And one more thing......I am flying to Florida in November (if I get the time off work) and I don't want to pay for 2 seats on the airplane.
