What do you 'hate' about being fat?

Feeling like a giant fat person next to a skinny person lol
Not fitting into anything other than sweat pants
Being out of breath for the simplist things
Avoiding the mirror when you change
Avoiding outings or parties or events because you feel so embarrased of how you look


I can go on and on lol

Summers SUCK. Raw inner thighs from rubbing; feeling like I have an extra boob between my armpits & tank top

Armpits!! Grrrrrrrr

1. The way my tummy look in cloths
2. The way I look in full body pics
3. Fitness level drasticly declines
4. You just feel sluggish all together


It took me awhile to love my body just the way it before I can begain to change it and love the change. I honest love my body even though I would like to whittle away the fat that surrounds it. I refuse to hate me while I'm transforming me. It took me years to get here... But here I am ready for change

That my husband (now my ex) had an affair with a sexy, thin little thing, and then left me because he said my fat body disgusts him and that no man would ever be able to find me attractive, or love me because of it. Turned out he was right about that...

So, I'm pretty much without ANY confidence at all, hating EVERYTHING about my gross, fat body, avoiding photos, feeling judged by every man - or woman - I meet, wearing mostly black - to try to disappear in the crowd, and then feel guilty about my self-hatred, 'coz I'm so healthy, and should be thankful for that...

Pretty messed-up, I know!

And hating that too... LoL!

He lied. I know it for a fact. I'm 190 and guys always want to kick it. When I was first 190 I had no confidence. There are men who LOVES THICK women. All you need is confidence in yourself. I have regained my confidence somehow and a skinny chic cant tell me nothing... Men leave skin chic too ask a few of em. You are beautiful inside and out all you have to do is belive it. I'm going to love being your MFP Friend

When I was heavier, or "fat," it felt like my life was in a black hole. I'm sure this goes beyond the weight issue, but I was absolutely in self-loathing mode.

I would look in the mirror, at the rolls around my face and think, "this person isn't me. I was supposed to be beautiful." I was way too shy to talk to people, way too shy to ever go on a date or smile at strangers. I loved tucking into chocolate chip cookies when I was bored or tired. I hoarded stuff - clothing and shoes, mostly - believing somehow that if I just found that perfect outfit, I would look great. I had dozens of fancy shirts, none of them had been worn.

I started losing weight because of a health warning from my doctor.
I did not start because of vanity.

Much to my surprise, I didn't fail.
That self-loathing person is GONE.
It's like my hormones and nature changed when I lost weight. I am more confident and friendly. I don't have depressed days anymore, unless I am deprived of sleep for a couple of days - which leads me to believe that all of those negative feelings had to do with poor health. I don't worry about my looks as much. I have to safety pin my pants so they don't fall off my waist, and that feels good. Maybe it's the testosterone but I am 100% more personable. I look in the mirror and I start to resemble the person I wanted to look like every day.

I see only possibilities.
I will crush any opposition to my goal. It's certain now. Watch me sprint.

They way my heart "sinks" when I see myself in a mirror, especially sans clothes.

Looking horrendous in every photo and mirror.

Not being able to do any kind of phys.

Luckily both of this have changed now

What do I hate about being fat? The fat...the rolls LOL!!!
I also hate it bc it makes beautiful ppl feel like their not beautiful bc of the "fat". I agree with another commentor...the lack of stylish clothing (at least the clothes I desire to wear).

- that embarrassment i feel when anyone at uni suggests going down to the main social hub (its down a very steep hill and all my classes are at the top of the hill)
- when my mum comes home with clothes that are too big (she clearly sees me as larger than I am) and the fact occassionally the super sizes she buys aren't too big
- I've been getting more and more frustrated with how I look in photos, even while trying "slimming poses"
- clothes shopping
- and the fact i know I can do better and its a combination of laziness and shear greed/emotional eating that makes/keeps me fat

Subconsciously thinking that everything bad that happens is because of my weight, particularly when it comes to romance.

What do I hate about being fat... It's a toss up between: 1) Worrying about becoming diabetic. It's in the family. 2) Seeing it as a sign of failure. For someone that has grown up with all of this diabetic knowledge, I shouldn't be in this position, right?

I so relate to this. While I'll probably never be a people person, I even find it a bit easier to be social. And yes, no sleep (or if I push my calorie deficit too low, or worse, both) will put me back in that depressed, angry, completely self-loathing state.

I'm really surprised at how much of this seems to be tied to physical health.

I just feel really uncomfortable all the time, it feels like I'm wearing a fat suit.

This. This. This.

I hate how no one will look at me when ever i go anywhere. Even cashiers will avoid looking at me. Hello! I am a person too! Being over 300 pounds you would think it would be easier to see me.

Being so tired after exercise and not being able to run far/fast
