what do you hate about being "fat"

its not muscle

1) Being so self conscious of the way my clothes fit/don't fit.
2) The love handles that pooch out over the waistband of my jeans.
3) The way my thighs rub together when I walk.
4) The way people look at my expanded body and think to themselves "She's gained weight." They don't have to say it, I can see it in their facial expressions.
5) How my boobs spill out over the top of my bra.
6) The person I see in the mirror that I've let down. She deserves to be healthy, fit and happy.
7) These are all things I can fix by losing just 10% of my body weight, so why am I whining to a support community and not out there working at it?

When my confidence feels like ****.

**** you fat.

Exactly this.

felt like that last night at my bosses dinner. Being the only minority and the only "fat" female at a dinner table full of fit tall people eating steaks and cheesecakes drinking wine and enjoying their food while I try to eat dainty and enjoy my lettuce. FRUSTRATING

Being told by the sales lady, "sorry we don't have your size available". it sucks. Also the breathing difficulty during a minor asthma attach that sucks big time but its slowly changing now that am working my way towards a healthier me.

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.

Thinking "oh, I will totally fit into these size 10 jeans they look huge!" and not being able to get them past your thighs.

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^^, except being 5'2" and trying on a huge a** pair of 16 and not being able to button them up, and them being so long , I would have to cut half of them off... and not being able to wear cute clothes because well they sure as heck don't look cute when your a fat a**..

OMG...get out of my head! This was/is my life. Sometimes even petite jeans ( when I can find them) are too long. Buying something as simple as a shirt sucks because the ones that are long enough to hit your hips are also cut so tight that you look like a sausage.

a few years ago I was looking for a new shirt, and finally found something that I thought would be cute and a little floaty so it wouldn't cling to my fat rolls---and might not look like a maternity top. sadly, it WAS a maternity top.

When your clothes shrink in the wash

Love it I may have to get a new dryer Mine shrinks my clothes all the time

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.

I totally agree..
Back when i was 220 and losing weight it was a nightmare to find anything. Now even at 140 i have a hard time finding pants that fit me because i am 5'2 and since i run and lift my calves and thighs are still big..

Another thing i hate is not being able to just throw anything on and look good. My daughter who is 24 can wear a sack and look awesome. I have to plan plan plan...

Feeling like an embarrassment to my husband. He isn't embarrassed in the least about my size and has never made me feel inadequate in that department, it is just my own personal feeling. I feel like he is so handsome and here he is married to a huge chick. I always think about what people must think when they see us together. He is by no means "skinny" he struggles with his weight as well, though not as much as I do.

I also hate the back fat along with the fat fingers/hands.

I have a brother who is about 400 lbs and he does NOT wash as well as he should (YUCK) and his wife was complaining that my brother stunk because of his fat rolls and then she looked at me and said "you know what I mean Beck, your big". I just stood there for a few minutes and couldn't even think, then I said " No Tonya, I don't know what you mean because I wash everyday and here is the secret to not stinking, I use SOAP".

What a Biyatch!

When you have been hearing that you are "fat" for most of your life. Family is also slowly giving up on you. Don't feel attractive even though you feel like you are the ultimate catch (not being cocky)
Waking up every morning feeling like its a chore.
I wanna get my life back!

I hate not feeling desirable. ):

yea. this for me, too.

I hate that it's hard to button my pants.

I hate that it's hard to button my pants.

I don't even wear pants with buttons. I would love to though!

Thinking "oh, I will totally fit into these size 10 jeans they look huge!" and not being able to get them past your thighs.

totally agree!!!!
Also people asking me why i'm soo top heavy and have skinny legs. I would love to be proportional.

I know this is kinda sad but i have dealt with it: (2 separate occasions)
1) my brother asked me if i was on a seafood diet (see food and eat it)
2) my other brother said that i couldn't meet his girlfriend or his friends because i was fat and it would be embarrassing.
He said only when i lose weight! *tears*

Not being sexy in my clothes and trying like hell to push into a Victoria secrets lingerie outfit! I can't wait to wear one of those when I hit my goal!!!!!
