    When you order a diet soda with your super-sized value meal lol.

    Doesn't the diet soda cancel the meal out?

    Just an observation:
    Some of these are just physical realities and we're working on them. I've experienced some of them and many of them are just NSVs waiting to happen! (I just realized I don't do the pillow thing anymore, and it made me feel great!)

    Some of these you can change today by letting go of your own insecurities (me too, no judgement). Decide to step out and take a risk, be in the photo, go to the gym and know that you "belong", go out with your friends, smile etc.

    A HUGE step in my journey has been finding confidence, I've seen many people lose weight and actually become less happy! Lots of people think they'll be happy or people will like them more or they'll be more successful or whatever once they're thin, but you're still you, and that can be a let down for some people. If you can be confident NOW, chub and all, the svelte figure will just be an added bonus; but please don't wait to be thin to live your life to the fullest!

    Agreed. I've been taking more photos than ever. Tomorrow isn't promised, and that is a reality. Question, what is a NSV?
    I agree as well. Changing distorted thoughts is a big component regardless of one's weight/physical appearance. I was one of those people who gained a lot of weight after becoming extremely fit.

    Now I feel bad. People think my friends are horrible :(
    Mind you, only the first 3 things have been actually said to me & this was when I was fit playing volleyball!
    Me and running just don't get along lmfao I don't think i should run unless I'm being chased & even then--if someone's chasing me, it must be an important reason & i just should stop. Lol
    I'm just the sarcastic kind. Don't think I'm like bullied or anything! Far from it!

    When you go shopping for a brand of jeans you used to wear and the sales lady says "Oh Hon, they don't make those in your size!"

    cajosor, I don't run. Running hurts. Not my legs, not my feet, not my lungs. It hurts my chest. I've tried a bunch of different sports bras, I've tried layering them, I've tried a sports bra over my real bra. Nothing works. So I'll chase the kids in the yard or run from my neighbors very nasty little dog but running for fitness isn't happening. I've seen people get a lot of enjoyment out of running and also a lot of health benefits from it too so this is kind of a disappointment for me.

    you know you're fat when you're watching a movie in the theaters, and instead of you watching the movie you're watching if you're breathing too loud.

    A girl you thought was much bigger than you says "like 5 people came up to me today at the library thinking I was you!"

    You have a panic attack when your boyfriend tries to pick you up.

    You don't want to wear your hair down because you hate how your neck looks.

    Get asked if your pregnant 3 times in a month.

    Your legs ache after going grocery shopping.
