    One more, one I'm just now starting to realize.

    I hated being invisible. Even though I hated myself so I wanted to be invisible. But now the less space I take up the more I'm there, and I'm glad!

    Swimming used to make me so happy I haven't been to the pool or the beach in Six Years because the thought of my body in a bathing-suit makes me sick

    I hate hate hate looking in the mirror. How I look in pictures. Funny how I'll think I look good in the mirror and then snap goes the camera and I look hideous. I always think people are looking at all the jello areas of my body, especially my husband. And I hate the feeling of not feeling pretty enough, cause when I look around me, there's so many pretty, slim woman.

    Mostly I hate how inefficient I feel when I'm working out or out on a 10 mile hike. Having extra weight makes everything harder.

    - low energy
    - left over skin from my extremely fat days: bat wings, and odd pair shape from the flabby tummy skin
    - horrible clothes: I guess designers think because your larger you'll buy anything that fits regardless of how hideous it looks
    - having to shop in the "plus size" stores
    - being told by other (mostly family) how I need to lose weight; as if I didn't know I was overweight
    - health issues
    - sweating all the time, especially after a workout

    My belly button disappearing in the rolls.

    ETA: Since losing the majority of my weight I can now do over a hundred pushups a day and tons of pullups! Something I always wanted to do, but I was too heavy to do it.

    Where do I start? Everything! No self-esteem, being anti-social, not fitting into anything I own, boring workouts due to extra weight, meeting people, interviewing for jobs is useless due to lack of confidence, etc.

    Honestly, health issues first and foremost.

    Also: nothing fits, boobs extremely big, I already got stretch marks and I'm not even pregnant, so many more...

    THEN, I think about how lucky I am to be alive and have food and a roof over my head and I quit thinking about how I hate being fat (not to be confused with the notion "it could be worse, so I'm content with how I am"). :smile:

    People judging me by my weight instead of the person that I am.

    There are many things I hate about being fat! I hate the way it makes me feel.. it has taken my natural confidence away and made me much shyer ... i have stopped doing many activities that i love to do because they are either physically impossible or im just embarassed at this size. There are no cute clothes at this size... that i can find. UGh a lot of reason@!

    I hike every Saturday. Find a group in your area. They might have different hikes for different levels. It might be easier for you in a group setting... good luck :)

    everything...

    No cute clothes, not being attractive, no confidence, thinking people are constantly judging you.

    not wanting to be in pics with my daughter and husband. not wanting to go out on date nights, unless it's a movie cause it's dark, not being able to have nice looking clothes, no self esteem, not fitting on rides at amusement parks. <(anniversary) being in a constant depressed and bad mood.

    Feeling limited to what I can "pull off"
    fatty patty with a side tattoo, not very cute imo, and not being able to show it off.
    whats the point.

    and halloween sucks because its hard to find cute costumes that don't cost a million bucks. ect.

    There are so many things I 'hate' about being fat. I can't just list one.

    -I hate going out in public. I constantly feel like I'm being watched or someone out there is going to be like "oh look at her". I definitely don't look like my weight but I do believe I'm my worst critic.

    -I dislike how there's a stereotype out there that people tend to think fat people are lazy. I'm very active. I walk to and from work. I love the gym. Also, people tend to think fat people eat a lot. Actually, I barely eat throughout the day.

    -The clothes suck. They're ugly. Lol. They usually have the ugliest designs. & I for one would like to be able to wear something simple. Not something distracting, such as a shirt with a wolf or big butterfly on the front. I tend to go for the mens tshirts because they feel more comfortable. I definitely don't want people to see the stomach roll I've got going on. lol

    -Not being able to look into the mirror because too embarrassed to.

    -Weaker immune system. I very seldom have to go to the doctor but when I do whatever I have is usually due to my weak immune system.

    -One motivating thing for me is that I can't wait to look good naked! I do realize I'll probably still have some stretch marks but I'd rather have a flat stomach than a pregnant looking stomach or something that looks like a tire is wrapped around ya. lol

    I hate everything about being fat... Not fitting into clothes, not being able to move... etc... my health. How I feel about myself.

    What I hate the most is the comments from people that knew me when I was anorexic/bulemic and now I am overweight. My older sister's (size 1) favorite pictures of me is from when I was that thin....now she just looks at me like she is so disappointed in me. She has NEVER had a weight problem and I have ALWAYS been fat....even when i was thin i was heavier than her...

    Now I look in the mirror and I KNOW I was ill then, but its still hard to not wanna be there again!
