    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.

    Exactly how I feel. I see guys breaking their necks to check out smaller ladies. I would love to be noticed once in a while.

    That they don't make attractive clothing in my size. Because I'm big does that mean I should have to go to Omar the tentmaker to get a dress?

    Going to places like the mall and feeling like the Cabbage Patch doll in a room full of Barbie dolls. And then crying because I can't find any clothing that looks good/fits AND is within my price range. Fat clothes are expensive!



    Very Well Said!

    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.


    This..100%

    And keeping my old jeans wishing I could just one day all of a sudden fit back into a size 9 =/ but realizing I'm still in these "fat" jeans for awhile

    I hate that my rolls hang out! I would like to look flat and not bumpy! Except for my chest that can stay!

    Designers who think all women size 18+ have short legs! Never could find pants long enough, so very seldom wore pants. Now I can find them long enough and some times even buy a tall (but have to hem them). Plus designers think all heavy women LOVE BIG prints...no way! At a siz 12 I now love my clothes and don't hide my body anymore!!! So much more fun to shop and dress!!

    For all my big chested-girls, having to go to XL in a shirt or dress when the rest of your torso is a M or L. Just makes things so much worse.

    This is me. I can't buy pjs because if the top fits the bottom doesn't.

    The one thing I HATED about being fat when I was....was how I felt about myself. I HATED myself and I never want to feel that way again.

    Looking in the mirror and seeing that my biceps are bigger than my whole head...I feel like I look out of proportion.

    My toddlers grab and pinch my excess belly

    Other then that...regardless of size, I've always been able to find a happy state of mind. It just would be really nice to wear a bikini WITHOUT the excessive jiggle.

    The inside leg bit of jeans and trousers wearing away before the rest of them is worn out. There's no fixing legs-rubbed denim! Stupid giant legs :(

    No "middle-of-the-road" clothing options for adults. Apparently fat women come in exactly two flavors: 80 years old or super-sassy diva. I don't like pastel tents (Lane Bryant) OR leopard-print leggings (Torrid), so I've just kind of fallen into a rut of ill-fitting jeans and baggy T-shirts. That was fine for middle and high school, but I'm almost 22. As I've slimmed down, more options have become available to me, but now I have no idea what I'm doing, so I usually just reach for what I know anyway.

    Plan A for when I reach my goal weight and have a closet full of things that don't fit is still to try to get on one of those TBS makeover shows, like What Not To Wear, so I can both get new clothes and learn how to dress like a grownup in one fell swoop.

    Have you tried Maurice's clothing? They have some toned down options that are not so diva like.

    What do I have about being fat? I hate the sloppy feeling I have. I feel like I am wearing a bulky coat and need to take it off NOW!

    When my wife and I had a heart to heart on why we weren't intimate anymore...and her response was "Well, maybe if you lost some weight"

    Back fat. Face fat. Looking lumpy in clothes. Belly rolls. Pretty much everything.

    I'll second that one! I hate feeling so down on myself when I know that I'm better than that. Trying to get healthy body AND mind wise so I can recognize that I am a person of worth and dammit - a guy should be lucky to have me! :happy:

    Why did you put quotation marks around the word "fat"?

    Being too tired; all the time. My daughter would want me to play or jump on the trampoline and I was just too tired, still am but I'm working on it. :)
