    When you have to rock back and forth to get out of bed and you end up rocking yourself back to sleep.

    for me it was when I had to pause and rest at the top of the steps when carrying laundry up to put it away.

    you've lost 15 lbs and no one can tell the difference :sad:

    I feel yea. I've lost 21 and no one at work has noticed, but there is a big change. Ughh! ):

    25 here, and hubby still hasn't noticed. shrank out of pants and had to go rummaging in the closet for old one's from thinner days, and still nothing. planning to wear the biggest one's out with him soon and when they fall off of me in front of strangers, let's see if he notices that.

    Can't jog or run for cardio for fear of giving yourself a black eye. Don't shave above the knee because you can't really see it any way. Lol Horrible

    - when your favorite kind of pants are yoga pants
    - when your closet is full of different styles of black clothing
    - when u sit down and you can feel your rolls
    - during a work out class you're that person who can't keep up and looks like they're going to fall over
    - when u buy the same thing in diff colors because its hard to find anything that looks right on you and hides your fatness

    Wow, I can go on and on and on lol .....

    I'm glad you find it inspirational:smile:
    I'm also happy I'm not the only one who feels like this and has these fat person epiphanies. It's an awful feeling realizing you are fat, but it's nice knowing you are not alone on your journey.

    i got another one that i didnt see mentioned, you go into a dressing room in the mall and cry because of how you look in the clothes or that they dont fit in the size you thought you were </3

    This. I stopped buying clothes because it depressed me so much. I felt this years ago and went into denial until this year.

    And here's another one: You know you're fat when you refuse to look at yourself in the mirror so you can go on pretending you are not that big. :sad: :frown:

    Oh yes! I'm the queen of denial. That's actually why I started this thread. Admitting these things helps me face facts.

    When you have to pull up your pants constantly because they fall and pinch on the belly.
    When you never wear shorts because said garment will ride up as you walk.
    When you have to suck in your stomach so it doesn't stick out further than your boobs.
    When nothing fits well and even the big stuff is tight in the worst places.
    When wearing dresses makes you look like a floral bean bag.
    When you see cellulite on your forearms.

    When you hate going to a family get together because you know that everyone will talk about how big you are.
    When people say that oh you're such a nice person...if only you'd loose some weight.
    When you try on ten different outfits...just to find one that's acceptable.

    When your jeans wear out in the inner thigh area from rubbing together.

    When you smile and your eyes disappear because your cheeks are so chubby (doesn't help that they were chubby even before I was fat).

    Places on your body (face, legs, arms, back) sweating while your just standing still.

    Hating when it gets warm enough that I have to give up my long pants and hoodies or sweaters.

    Hating every photo I'm in from my best friends wedding.

    When my expensive bras start getting too small.

    When strangers tell you that you have such a beautiful face, as opposed to just saying you're beautiful. Ouch!

    You feel you must lose weight before you can work out at the gym
    You wear men's long t-shirts when working out
    You wear cardigans in the summer
    You prefer to go out when it's dark
    You can't even see the thong you're currently wearing
    You think all pantyhose is the devil (never liked them)
    You contstantly talk about losing weight but refuse to be proactive
    You make fat jokes about yourself
    You laugh your head off at skinny girl jokes
