    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?

    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.

    This.

    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.

    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.

    "Hate" is such a strong work that I typically do not use but when it comes to being fat, it fits! I have struggled with my weight most of my life and to be honest, I am completely embarrassed by it. That's what I "hate" about being fat. It makes me feel absolutely uncomfortable and so incredibly self-conscious that I don't seem to enjoy things that I should because I feel like people are judging me because of being fat. It's such an uneasy feeling.

    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.

    1. Having a belly that jiggles when I walk down stairs.
    2. Having to buy clothes bigger than I am used to wearing because I can't fit my smaller clothes.
    3. Feeling sad for the dody I have lost when I look at my old pictures or videos.
    4. Not feeling happy with the ways I look.
    5. Knowing that to get the belly I want I am going to have to give up the butt and chest I prefer and go back to the butt and chest I hate.

    Everything, but mainly knowing that I can be small because I used to be small. Looking at pictures of how skinny I used to be and it being so hard to get back to that again.

    The clothing. It all sucks.

    I also hate that my back hurts, and that it's not as comfortable as it should be to walk long distances. But that's all changing. :-D

    I hate the feeling that people are constantly judging me. When I walk into places like American Eagle with my friends I feel like everyone is staring at me like, why are you in HERE? I also hate feeling like I cant do certain things like Rock walk climbing or ropecourse because Im afraid the harness wont hold me. I feel like it holds me back!

    I suppose EVERYTHING would be too wide of a category...LOL So I really hate how I feel, my low self confidence. Not being able to wear the cute clothes that I want to wear. That spare tire (fully inflated) in my middle that makes wearing anything too clingy out of the realm of decency.

    What do I hate about being fat? Where to start -

    1 Gasping for air walking across a parking lot.
    2. Clothes that look like tents instead of attractive accessories to my personality.
    3. Exchanging a great walk for a waddle.
    4. Looking at food like the enemy instead of the fun treat it should be.
    5. The looks I get from people that have never been fat.

    Yup, those are the big ones.

    I love my body, but I hate for people to mistake me for a pregnant woman. I've lost weight before, but when it came back it went all to my stomach. I get rid of that, I'll be good.

    Not doing things with my kids because airplanes are uncomfortable or roller coaster seats aren't big enough.
