What do you 'hate' about being fat?

Not having confidence in myself....crying.....not being the mother I want to be because I'm so depressed about being fat and unhealthy...caught my husband looking at porn where the women have perfect bodies and now I feel pretty hopeless.... I just want to be confident and energetic and HAPPY....

Agreed! My biggest problem. I just want to wear my own clothes again!

I'm so sorry. I know I feel like I can't compare to those women

What makes it even worse for me is that I know if I lose the weight there's no way in hell I'm going to do the things those women do...so will my husband still be okay with me? UGH... I just don't even want him looking at me....

I hate a) pictures of myself when overweight and b) not having pretty clothes to choose from!

That people just automatically assume you are lazy.

Three years ago, I was training for (walking) my third Half Marathon. I called my doctor at the end of December and told him I was having trouble breathing. I had been training and walking A LOT and now I was getting winded walking from my car to my front door. Something was wrong. He gave me asthma medicine (no...I didn't have asthma ever) and told me I didn't need a bunch of expensive tests. I walked my Half Marathon. I was slow, but I finished it. I was sucking wind every step of the way. I called my dr again and said I still couldn't breathe. It was time for my yearly physical so he saw me. He again said there wasn't anything wrong. I know he was just looking at me and thinking that I was fat and lazy and that was why I was having problems. He told me to wait a few more weeks and see if it got any better. I waited and called again. He sent me for a chest x ray which showed nothing. He didn't suggest any further tests. He just ignored me. I called again and complained. I finally saw a pulmonologist in May and was in the hospital a week later with a huge blood clot in my lungs! Needless to say, i don't see this doctor anymore, but I am certain that if I had been thin he would have taken my complaint more seriously.

I hate that I immediately think others think I'm fat when they first meet.

]wow if i had lost the weight you have I would be damn proud of myself...you are amazing!!!
I hate that I can't seem to stop eating too many sugars...and i have ust been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

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.

I shouldn't laugh but the "fatty solidarity" comment cracked me up! I'm the same way though. I feel like everyone is staring and judging. Which makes me want to comfort myself with food. HELLO-that's how I got fat! grrr

I hate that cute clothes don't fit, that I'm too self concious to wear shorts in the Texas summer, that things jiggle, I have cellulite, rolls on top of my curves and that.....I don't ever get checked out/hit on. Now I am happily married to a wonderful guy and wouldn't ever stray...but to know I "still got it" would be a huge compliment and ego boost. :-/

I hate everything about it. The hate the fact that I can't buy clothing at Wal-Mart and other retail stores. I have to visit Big & Tall stores for clothes, which cost TWICE as much as regular clothing. I hate how I always stand out in a crowd.

The worst thing is weight is so hard to lose, but so easy to gain. I can spend an entire week losing 10 pounds, then gain it back in two days. It drives me crazy!

That what I see in the mirror is chubby but in my head I'm still like I was when I was fit and more attractive.

That my boobs are bigger... Really they were perfectly sized before.

That I can't wear (or don't have the confidence to wear) some really cute flattering outfits.

That I get winded easily when I shouldn't.

That I know it took years to gain this much and now it's not something I can fix overnight... Why didn't I fix it earlier! Oh, right, because I was stressed to the max... Fixed the stress, now battling this.

That my favorite outfits are too small.

That I'm not as attractive without clothes on as I was before--and it's not an age thing!

But know we are all here working to do better! And I try to focus on the health issues and geting healthier day by day!

clothes

Having a huge lower half and a skinny girl upper half. Hard as hell to find clothes!

Can we be friends? Both of you? I get the fatty solidarity...I went walking in my neighborhood the other night and all I could think about was a post I read on here where someone was walking trying to lose weight and some people passed her and yelled out "you should be RUNNING, fatty". I normally don't give a crap what other people think, but I was just so fearful someone was going to do that to me that I couldn't enjoy my walk!

Having to wear leggings or 'jeggings' for lack of jeans in my wardrobe that will fit over my FAT *kitten*!!!!!

The thing that i hate most about being fat is that i can't resist eating the snow ball cupcakes in the vending machine. Even though they have a little bit of a weird chemical taste and are loaded with sugar and i know i will feel crappy in an hour and a half when my blood sugar plummets, the urge to eat them torments me until I give in and have them. That's what i hate most.
