    I hate that I immediately think others think I'm fat when they first meet me or see me. I guess I have some body issues going on...

    I do the same thing. I always feel really self-conscious at the gym (even though I'm AT THE GYM, for crying out loud). It's funny that I feel better when another fat person comes in, like it's some kind of fatty solidarity or something.

    Fat rolls lol and the lack of cute clothes. Other than that, I love me at any size :)

    Knowing that people assume I hate things about myself, my body, and my environment.


    ETA: Hate is just a really strong word that I try not to use.

    Not being able to comfortably cross my legs anymore...wait ...I can as of yesterday. Yay me!
    Having my favorite clothes look at me forlornly from inside the closet.
    "Wear me, wear me" they cry.

    I hate shopping for pants! It's hard enough since I'm mostly legs with a high waist, but then add the fact most pants seem to be made for guys with anorexic legs, and it becomes impossible. I also hate my picture being taken. A camera sees the truth. I can't figure out why I look fatter in a picture than in a mirror.

    I'm going to start off by saying that I absolutely love myself. In saying that, I don't find that I hate being fat. I dislike not feeling healthy. Because I dislike not being able to move as quickly or have enough energy to carry around the body that I created, I feel it is time to make some changes.

    This is the way someone who does'nt stress if she/he has had a extra wheat thin in one day. Thank You :)

    The way my back looks, especially when wearing a bra
    Muffin top!
    Can never, ever find jeans that fit me
    I don't buy clothes that fit, I buy stuff to cover me up
    The double chin

    But...we'll get there :)

    Having to shop in the plus size for clothes, takes too much effort to get ready to go out with friends. Having friends that are smaller in body size then I am. Stretch marks. Being the fat sibling :(

    Since my list will go on for about 35 paragraphs about this topic, I would say that one of the things I really hate is being ignored and overlooked by women. After all, who wants to be with an obese man? After being single for quite a long time due to my weight and from experience, my answer to that question is..."nobody" Well, now that I have dropped more than 50 lbs......I'm getting more looks from women. Even some of the women that didn't want anything to do with me (just because of my weight) are beginning to look my way and find some interest In me. My weight loss has dramatically changed my looks. I will post before and after pictures once I reach my goal (I don't want to jinx anything!!!). I can see the slimmer and younger me starting to show....and I loooove it.

    I'm not fat anymore, but mostly I hated the feeling of wanting to hide. In public, I did my best to go unnoticed. Even among family and friends, I tried to stay on the perimeter of things, hoping nobody was looking at me or judging me.

    I hated avoiding mirrors and cameras and dressing rooms and shorts and skirts and dresses and sleeveless tops. I hated constantly trying to hide my body from anyone and everyone ... I wouldn't share a dressing room with my twin sister for fear that she might think I was fat (like it was a big secret). I hated wondering what it was like to be someone else. And I hated thinking that being a good person doesn't matter unless you're also good-looking.

    And something I still think about a lot is how I used to try to convince myself that it was okay to be fat (and I'm talking 100+ lbs overweight). I honestly use to try to talk myself into just accepting it, thinking I would be happier. And now I think "How could you do that to yourself? How could try to talk yourself into NOT living life to the fullest?" I still feel guilty about that every day.

    Being so tired and slow all the time. I also hate having to say I "can't" go places/do things because whatever it is won't accommodate my size (amusement parks, theaters, plane seats, etc).

    My body is so uncomfortable, my boobs choke me at night, I can't even reach around and scratch parts of my back anymore. I don't recognize myself in the mirror, it's as if I'm looking at a stranger, and most of the time I just don't look. I rush to "cover up" once out of the shower, even if home alone. My weight has gone up and down my whole life, but the last three years have seen me become obese, and obese is nothing like being "overweight". It limits my mobility, even sex has become problematic. I'm 51 now and parts of me hurt, but I know I hurt worse because of the weight. Pain, depression, low self-esteem, not caring about my appearance. It's a vicious cycle. Ugh.

    Worrying about fitting into chairs. Hearing chairs (and couches) creak at a friends house when I sit down, and thinking how mortified I would be if I had broken it!

    By the way, I have lost 172 pounds since August 2011!

    Wanting to cry every time I leave a fitting room. Stupid fat and extra skin from pregnancies.

    -The looks you get from people.

    -The eternity it takes to get un-fat.

    -The fact that there is such a limited clothing selection.

    -Hip fat.
