    Changing room mirrors - reflections from all sides highlighting every ounce in glorious technicolour of blah-ness at the top of your thighs, a harsh reminder of how much hard work you still need to do to reach your goal.......

    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.

    Yes to both! My chest is huge thanks to having a freaking baby. I went up 2 bra sizes. lol.

    constantly comparing myself to other girls, not being able to have people pick me up carelessly, wearing sweatpants all the time because i'd look fat in anything tight, not being confident period.

    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*

    - Seeing any photo of myself. Always knew I was chubby but would feel a billion times worse if it somehow got captured in a photo. Got to a point where I couldn't look in a mirror without wanting to burst into tears.

    Diabetes. High blood pressure. High cholesterol. High risk of heart disease and stroke. Kidney disease from the diabetes. Eye disease and potential blindness from the diabetes, Risk of neuropathy and amputations from the diabetes. Inability to exercise without pain.

    At my highest weight ALL of these things became the biggest issue for me... far more than what it looked and/or felt like. Inside I was falling apart. Never being able to find clothes... having to wear men's t-shirts.... stretchy pants... all sucked but all secondary to what it did to my health. Happy to report the diabetes is 100% under control with diet and exercise alone, no medication! I got it under control early enough to avoid any lasting damage to any of my internal organs or my eyes. I was LUCKY and I know it. It started to creep back up on me again and I nipped it in the bud. I now realize I'll have to be diligent for the rest of my life which will now, hopefully, be a longer and healthier life.

    Having to wear a girdle to make my fat rolls not so noticeable. Being the "fat" friend in a group. Not wanting to shop for clothes with my friends because I knew nothing would fit. Having to suck it in for pictures. Having to stick my neck out farther for pictures so my double chin wouldn't show. Dreading getting on roller coaster rides because I was afraid the buckles wouldn't buckle. Never wearing sleeveless shirts because my arms were fat. Always being the fat sister. Constantly tugging at my shirt so it wouldn't cling to my fat rolls. Being genuinely unhappy and disgusted with the person I saw in the mirror. Crying and getting so angry I slapped my stomach because it was so enormous. Always looking down when men passed me because I knew they would find me disgusting.
