I'm sorry in going to have to disagree with you no where is a 0-4 fat and I'm personally offended thanksO 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.

One of the things I hated most about being fat was how much harder it was to move with extra weight and fat jiggling off me. It was an effort to do anything without fat getting in the way.
I hated having my stomach sit in my lap, I hated struggling to roll over in bed or getting out of bed with no grace at all. I hated feeling like a whale. I hated how my footsteps got louder. I hated how I waddled. I hated how I would put on something I thought I looked halfway decent in and then when I'd see a picture I wouldn't recognise who I was. I hated that I was in denial about how much weight I had gained for so long.
The weight was just laziness made worse by how miserable I felt and how much I thought I didn't deserve any better. I hated who I was and I let myself get fat. The extra weight just made it a more physical representation of the self loathing I had.0 -
People making assumptions about how I eat. Like thinking that I constantly stuff myself with fried food, cakes, and pies.
Random strangers at the store saying how fat or ugly I am.0 -

certain plus size stores hove changed their sizing....a 0 at lane bryant is a far cry from a 0 at the limited or wherever. They do it to make "us" feel better0 -
When guys mention how good another womens body is in front of you...

My increased health risks. My mom started with health problems WAY too young and weighing a lot less than me. I haven't followed in her footsteps yet, and am trying to decrease the risk as much as one can.0

The clothes are tacky! Why would one store make 'regular' and 'plus' but make them different clothes. one is cute, one is ugly.
Just make the same damn clothes in sizes 0-24 or whatever. GRRRR. Plus size clothes are usually fairly tacky unless you can afford the higher end stores.0 -

The Lane Bryant stores I've been in still use normal numbers for clothing. I haven't been in those others. I've only noticed it at Target and I find it confusing. I didn't know the size correlations and did not like wearing a 3 or 4, which seemed like 3x and 4x to me. I feel a little better now.
I've never been in Torrid, but have seen it and thought what a horrid name for a store...esp. a plus size store.0 -
Never getting laid...
Other then that, drinking all the beer, and eating all the food was AWESOME
NO SHT!0 -
Oh I dunno at Lane Bryant you can usually get a sequined, flower printed sack for "only" 99.50.

Being bullyed by family member that I' m eatings lot. They say to stop eating. They point out that I gained weight. I didn't want to gain this weight even though they know that I gained the weight from taking seroquel xr which also ****ed up my metabolism.0

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!
OMG! so rude, glad you responded. I know sometimes I'm just too dumbfounded to even think0 -
The possibility of being turned down because of my size as I think I've said before....something I guess a lot of us might share. When I see my self in a photograph or video I'm basically all "you fat b.....which increases my motivation to lose weight. I'm fine with my body otherwise, its just when I see it in a photograph or video.
When I was getting fit for a tuxedo for a concert band performance once guy the guy fitting me said "I'm/We're gonna turn you into a star" - and I wanted to puch the b...." . I already hate having other people stare at me when trying new clothes on. This goes for anybody. I didn't need that.
At my football/"soccer" stadium I volunteer at my boss had to order uniforms in my size for me i think the first year... er no.. he didn't have any and I had to wear a uniform a size smaller. Since then we've had em in stock.
I'll add to that: seeing a bunch of tall, ripped, college guys on a team and realize you're nowhere near them, in height alone lol... watching the girlfriends wait for their boyfriends on the team after the games.0 -
I have a twin sister who is a size 1 and looks good in EVERYTHING she wears. It sucks being the "fat" twin!0

Going in the store and loving all the clothes on the skinny side and having to go to the plus size area and the clothes look so ugly in greys and blacks, dresses look like my moms curtains...0

Yea seroquel did the same to me its horrible0

idk if you have a Shopko around you but their regular and plus section usually have the same exact clothes in both departments (usually). Their juniors is different though.0 -
How it makes me feel like I never look good, no matter what I do.0

Just being in their store is an admission that you are not an actual size 2...they could make sizes A,B, C and you would still be in the big girl store! Their right fight, color coded stuff doesn't help me either. I am thick in the middle but have nice legs so either I fit my waist and minimize my legs or accentuate my legs and walk around with a big red mark around my waist.........decisions, decisions.......0 -
Self-hate, feeling unattractive, lack of confidence.0

Wishing I had a nickel for every time I have heard this in my lifetime! I could retire a millionaire!Being told my face is pretty and when I lose weight I will be something else...pssht!!!!0 -
Everything I can't do that healthy, "regular" people can.0
-
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.
this happens to all of my jeans!!!
I used to have this happen too. There are iron on repair kits for this problem. The hard part is matching the color so it isn't noticeable.

Ohoho, just you wait. There's this bizarre Twilight Zone of women's clothing that exists between plus sizes and straight sizes. I'm a size 12-14. Too big for the straight sizes but too small for the plus. Occasionally I find something that happens to be cut such that it looks all right. I tried on five pairs of jeans today, all 12 Short, all 4 fit differently. Clothes are gonna get harder to find before they get easier, just so you know.
Yeah you can try on 4 size 12's all in the same BRAND and all 4 will fit differently. The people who manufacture women's clothing are *kitten*.0 -
Confidence not being where it should be.
Not being attractive to women.0 -
i HATE having to walk past people, thats when i feel at my biggest. i feel like im waddling. especially groups of teengaers0

Mine is usually a photograph. I always look 10 times worse in photos than I actually think I look when they're taking it.0

Not feeling attractive, no confidence, when relatives pick on you for being the fat one0
