    Lack if nice clothes I can find, being the 'fat' friend, being the one who has to carry my skinny drunk friends home when they are drunk (but I guess that will never change haha)

    The inability to run like I used to. When I was in the military, a 4-mile run was just a walk in the park. With the spare tire, a 4-mile run is fantasy land now. It won't be long before I'm running long distances again though.

    I hate not feeling desirable. ):

    Even when guys ARE checking me out, I don't recognize it because I think there's nothing worth checking out. And that's irritating.




    Same here

    Clothes not fitting right, my thighs rubbing together when i wear a dress or attempt wearing shorts (not often), my kids feeling ashamed of me or at least i think they are, not feeling attractive, not being healthy.. I could go on and on and on

    Many things...

    I don't want to change the pick on the site of me from 2009! Looked so much better then but, I don't look like that now and I still needed to lose weight in that pic. I am sure many people don't have the most recent pic of them for those that actually include a real pic of themselves. I guess I leave it there to remind myself how much better I was.

    Running into someone I haven't seen in awhile and the person's jaw drops. Of course it's going to I have packed on 40 lbs!

    Not wanting to go out because I don't want to be an embarrassment to my husband. (my husband loves me more than anyone-this is just how I make myself feel). Argh!

    "That one fat chick is good looking, but she'd look better if she was skinny" I've heard this countless of times and I personally dislike it, but when you live in Miami and have to compare to these barbie dolls... I suppose you are that one fat chick amongst good looking friends.

    Double chin, back fat, my fat stomach, trying to pose in pictures to look the least fat, not feeling confident enough to flirt with really cute/fit guys because in my mind they've already rejected me, worrying about my health, my aching feet that are suffering from carrying around all of the extra weight I've gained over the last few years, the clothes that are hanging in my closet that I can't fit into any more but I don't have the heart to get rid of (again...got rid of a bunch of smaller stuff about a year ago and have outgrown many things that I kept.) I could list a lot more, and I relate so much to what many of you have posted.

    The fact that I never recognized myself as fat. Looking back now I see exactly how fat I was, but when I was fat I would always tell myself I wasn't that fat. But now I totally see it, and it bothers me that I let it go for so long.

    This^

    Feeling like I'm wrapped in a shell, figuratively and literally. I grew up as a chunky kid and never realized until I got older how much it inhibited me more in a non-physical way. It has kept me from being the person I want to be and who I feel like I am. It's suffocating!
    For me, I feel as if when someone sees an overweight person they instantly access that they're a failure...which makes it easy to never really try hard because the bar's been lowered.

    While I'm like most other people and drool at the thought of being able to be and look healthy, have more options as far as style goes, etc.; I really just want to lose weight to be able to really mean it when I say "I don't care what anyone else thinks". <---This is the worse thing about being fat!

    The way my mind is pre-programmed to do the things I did when I was 20kg heavier like avoid photos, go for the size large in everything, obsess over my image in the mirror - should I actually be wearing this singlet, do my arms look too fat? Is this skirt too short, can everyone see my cellulity calves?

    Pudgy kneecaps. I've never been in love with my thighs or knees, but I wore a bathing suit in public, on purpose this past summer and I actually look good in those pictures. I'm not yet where I want to be, but I never thought I would look at a picture of me in a bathing suit and actually like it.

    Not being able to share clothes with my friends when we would be getting ready to go out. Incidentally, all of them gained weight and I lost weight so I STILL can't share clothes with them hahahaha.

    I hate wondering how my husband could ever be attracted to me when he is so amazing looking and I often feel like a hippo with cellulite :(

    When your clothes shrink in the wash

    ^^ This, especially when I have to face reality and admit that my clothes didn't shrink, I grew :-/

    I happy that lately my clothes seem to be growing in the wash :-)

    I'm uncomfortable in social situations, and I'm tired of my lower back pain, which all the extra weight only makes worse. I'd like to not be the picture of the average overweight American male either.

    Being constantly overlooked. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not fat, I'm invisible. I couldn't get a guys attention if I ran down the street in flames with a pack of wild dogs chasing me.
