What do you 'hate' about being fat?

My biggest pet peeve about being fat or overweight is my lack of ability to keep up with people who aren't. I was always active and into sports growing up. I excelled in any sport I tried and if I wasn't the best on the field/court, I was damn close to it. Now I feel like I struggle to be just average. Unless of course we're playing football and then you better get out of the way.

I wouldn't necessarily call myself fat (I'm not even technically overweight), but I hate not being able to fit into my old clothes. I also hate looking into the mirror with clothes on because...I don't know, clothes just make me look heavier than I really am. Not to mention childbirth made my hips wider. :frown:

Crap, why did I come onto this thread? :indifferent:

I hate them too..even when i was skinny I hated them...One day I will get the reduction i want and so I can have a decent golf swing!

Not having alot of energy. I usually get realy tired around 2 every day. Wearing the same old clothes that I've worn for years. I don't wear jeans because I never can get a pair to fit me right. I wesr sweatpants every day.

Besides 'everything'?

I hate shopping. I hate finding clothes that I love that I can't get because it doesn't come in my size.

I hate walking by a mirror/window and catching my reflection and seeing how bad it's gotten.

I hate pictures being taken of me, which means many memories go undocumented.

I hate looking at myself naked. I find it unattractive and assume everyone else does as well, including my husband. Even though I know he loves me for me.

I hate that I can't push myself as hard as I want to when I'm exercising. I get cramps/out of breath/hurt myself. I know it will come in time but I feel lazy even when I'm trying.

I could go on and on and on.

When I weighed almost 400 lbs, what I hated the most about being fat is that most people believe that I am lazy because I was fat.

I hate that I avoid certain things...like going to the beach or wearing certain clothes...clothes shopping...:(

shirts rising up

Being uncomfortable all the time. And sometimes i forget i am fat and then i catch myself in the mirror. :-(

I hate that it almost defines who I am - how I behave, how I present myself, how people perceive me, how I approach life. I also feel that being overweight makes me feel so old - aches and pains that I shouldn't have at my age, older frumpier clothes because the choice is so bad and because I want to hide myself, not wanting to go out and have fun because I am too self-conscious, worrying about illness and problems associated with being so overweight.

So I've read through all of these posts and I agree with so many of them. I really feel the need to vent this:
I hate that when I go to try clothes on I want to cry in the fitting room even when they're the right size because i hate the way i look in them
I hate that I don't own a single dress even though i love summer dresses and i've been looking for one for AGES that looks right on my body without looking pregnant
I hate that clothes in the stores (especially dresses) always have a high waist and it makes my hips look even BIGGER
I hate that when my boyfriend tells me i'm beautiful, I question if he says it just to make me feel better
I hate that every time he touches my stomach it makes me sick with myself
I hate that i never feel like having sex because all i can think about is how gross i am
I hate that swimsuits won't hold my boobs up
I hate that SPORTS BRAS won't hold my boobs up (I'm a 34DD when I'm thinner)
I hate that pictures of me make me want to cry
I hate that I've let myself get so bad and ACCEPTED it like i could never make it better
I hate that I've let myself eat my way into depression
I hate that my doctor tells me that my CHRONIC PAIN CONDITION would get better if i would just lose a little weight (quote: I'm not saying you're fat, but your joints would hurt less if you lost some weight)
I hate that it took me from 16-21 to get a diagnosis on my awful back pain because no doctor would take me seriously if i wasn't rail thin
I hate that men don't look at me because i have no confidence
I hate feeling guilty every time i eat ANYTHING
I hate the way my fat thighs rub together
I hate the way my arms are flabby and look disgusting in short sleeves
I hate that I always want to cover myself up in baggy pants and huge t-shirts
I hate when my grandmother tells me that i could stand to lose a few pounds, but really i'm pretty anyway
I hate when I can't run for more than ten minutes without crying from joint pain
I hate that i HAVE to eat every couple of hours or my blood sugar will drop and make me sick

There are a lot more, but I'll stop there I feel a little better.
Putting in the effort to change!

the thigh rub... ugh!

STRETCH MARKS!!! made myself thinner, but ruined my skin... :sad: I know its my fault for being a fat kid/teen. but I worked so hard to lose this much.. I wish the stretch marks would go with it.

tell me about it! I'm very prone to them, had them since I was 12 and a juniors size 3. getting fat made it so much worse. My boyfriend asked what happened to me when he first saw me in a bathing suit.

Which, bathing suits. hate them

belly fat when sitting.
