    Lack of confidence, definitely.
    Not being able to wear skirt /shorts (without stocking) in public.
    Looking a million times wider in photos :((

    I don't like when I know someone is watching me eat. Even healthy foods, I feel like they'll judge me because I'm still fat, and why am I eating! I work at the front desk of a hotel for long shifts, and since we can't leave I bring my lunch and snacks with me, and when a pretty, skinny girl walks in when I'm eating I lose my appetite right there. :( Also, don't like that it takes so much more energy to run, running a few miles right now can suck, especially around TOM...I imagine being 30lbs lighter and just breezing through the trail.

    Plus size clothing is so ugly. It looks like something you would buy your grandma and then on the other end they have all this tight stuff that really isn't flattering. If you do happen to find something descent, it is way over priced. In a nutshell, smaller sizes=better looking clothing for cheaper prices and a lot more variety.

    I hate:
    * the "Oh you have a pretty face.. if only you would take care of yourself. If you lost weight, you could be so pretty"
    *Even in heels, my size 12/14 jeans go 6" past that.
    *I'm feeling confident about myself, and oh! a mirror. it's all downhill.
    *the emotional struggle with not losing it right away, and feeling discouraged.
    *being the fat, funny friend.
    *never wanting to have my picture taken because the mirror and the camera are on 2 different levels.
    *fear of scales.
    *hating going clothes shopping.
    *people asking me when i'm due.
    and just in general, myself for letting it get this bad.

    Whoever mentioned having material on the floor when trying on pants...yes! I wanted wind pants and couldn't find any that were short enough--I'm over 5'9", but only have a 30" inseam. Now that my waist is 38", I can find pants that fit me without being hemmed.

    I feel fine and confident and then I try on clothes in a change room and just want to cry. I'm sick of people saying I'm not fat to try and be nice - I'm doing something about it, it's not like I'm completely oblivious to my thunder thighs!

    The lack confidence, constantly being paranoid when someone is laughing, the bullying, the jokes and the stares affected me much more than I would ever though it would, as even after losing 100 pounds I still get that same stomach tightening feeling when someone starts whispering to their friends while looking at me.
    Never feeling like you are worth the compliments you get and being awkward in most social situations, are also downsides of my childhood spent as an overweight person

    I'm not fat, per se. Just a little more "thick" than I'd like to be.

    I hate feeling guilty when I have dessert. I hate feeling guilty for not working out 6 days instead of 5. I just hate feeling guilty, basically.

    O and the fact that they started making fat girls clothing sizes "0-4" so we feel better. Just makes u more depressed cause they had to invent a size so a fat girl would feel more comfortable shopping for smaller numbered clothes. Uggg

    Department stores are using sizes 0-4 in plus size now.0 is a 16, 1 is an 18, etc... Not saying 0-4 are fat. But designers decided plus size ppl needed a smaller number to feel better. I personally feel better buying a 16 instead of a plus size 1.

    ^^ Lane Bryant does this and I find it to be so fecking condescending. It's like look I'm not shopping here for you to tell me I wear a size 5 ( really 24), and it's embarrassing to see that number knowing damn well I need at least 4 pairs of real size 5 jeans to make one pair for myself.

    I now order all my clothing online.

    And being told I have a "really pretty face" is a half assed compliment that makes me wanna ***** slap somebody. Just shut the hell up and be quiet and don't placate the fat girl thanks.
