    Oh so much! First thing that comes to mind is (this might fall under the T.M.I. label) that my thighs rub together and wear out my jeans on the top of the inseam. Ugh! I can't wait to wear skinny jeans one day with no overflow...

    Also...feeling and looking older than I really am.

    And finally: avoiding swimming. I want my body back so I can swim again without shame and without a bathing suit that has a 'skirt' on the bottom. I mean, seriously, I am not even 40 yet!!!

    Oh my goodness... Everything. Having boobs that I can't look over when I'm laying down. Being able to shop in plus sized stores. Looking for a size 14 at American Eagle and coming up short almost every time. Looking like an ice cream cone in skinny jeans. Most of all, my fiance telling me how sexy and beautiful I am and not being able to believe him, and thinking he's just saying that to make me feel better about myself when he actually believes it. That's the worst part.

    Feeling uncomfortable, unhealthy, feeling like a blob, have a closet full of jeans I can't fit into right now! Just not having self confidence!

    Diminished energy! Really don't care much about size and how I "look". My motivation is to get my energy back :)

    So many things!

    I couldnt walk up stairs
    I couldnt walk long distances
    I found it hard to get up and dance even when i wanted to
    I felt like every one was leaving me behind
    I couldnt do things my friends were doing
    I automatically looked at energetic things and went "uh-uh, it aint happening"
    I wouldnt try things
    I wouldnt get off the couch
    I was always exhausted
    I couldnt go out and buy clothes from a normal shop. I still cant but I will soon.
    I was (and still am) embarrased to go clothes shopping with friends. In fact have never done it.
    There were sports I wanted to do that I couldnt do eg Scuba Diving. I have a PADI card now

    To be honest the limitations could go on for pages but that will do for a starter. You dont realise until you have lost a bit of weight that you had effectively put yourself inside a "fat" jail. You automatically found all your options limited and I guess for the sake of laziness you just accepted it.

    I'm losing weight and I have a long way to go still but it feels like the world is opening up to me in ways that I hadnt even imagined. I never thought about this stuff until the weight began to drop off.

    Viva la weight loss :)

    Hmmm.....what don't I like? Well all of it....but for starters....I hate how my pants wear out on the inner thinghs first because my chubby thighs rub together! I have actually had to patch a pair of my favorite jeans!! I hate how I feel like I am constantly "sucking it in" so people don't think badly about me...I hate worrying about whether or not I will have a second chin in the picture that was just taken....or how huge I look compared to my tiny friends....Oh man, I could go on and on, but the worst is staring into a closet full of clothes that I will NEVER look amazing in, because I am just too big :(
    I sooo relate to what you just wrote! Me to a 'T'!

    deleting or not sharing photos with me and my son because I have a double chin or look fat in the photos (even tho he is so darn cute and want to share him with the world!). Also feeling depressed when I'm having a "fat day" and nothing looks good on me!

    * Ditto on the jeans wearing out in the thights

    I hate hate hate looking in the mirror. How I look in pictures. Funny how I'll think I look good in the mirror and then snap goes the camera and I look hideous. I always think people are looking at all the jello areas of my body, especially my husband. And I hate the feeling of not feeling pretty enough, cause when I look around me, there's so many pretty, slim woman.
    I agree with you, I don't usually think about it until I see myself in a picture and then I'm so disgusted with looking that way. My boyfriend has a picture of my daughter and I on the beach (winter) and all I can see is how fat I am. It's his favorite picture; weird.

    1. My BIG boobs! I want them to be a tad smaller.
    2. My BIG butt! I want it to be a little more toned.
    3. My Thighs! They aren't so big when I lay down but when I stand I feel like they are bigger than my butt... :/
    4. My stomach! I want to get rid of the love handles and flatten my stomach.

    All four of these things are the major reasons why I feel unattractive and fat. :'(

    My biggest thing is not being able to get up and run around with my daughter like I want to. My mom was overweight and I was an only child so I never really had anyone to play with. I don't want my daughter to feel like she was gipped out of her childhood or time with her mom! I'm doing this for her! :)

    I'm going to start off by saying that I absolutely love myself. In saying that, I don't find that I hate being fat. I dislike not feeling healthy. Because I dislike not being able to move as quickly or have enough energy to carry around the body that I created, I feel it is time to make some changes.
    I love your response it gives me hope to love myself again... :heart:

    sadly though the first thing to pop in my head?
    Everything.

    -Two particular Kindergarteners in my class that seem to ask me once a week why my belly is so big. Do I have a baby in there? Is it full of food? Or did I drink to much water. LMAO

    -Lack of trendy clothes. I am not 60 years old, I do not like flowerdy big *kitten* shirts that one wash shrinks them to belly shirts.(not a stab at anyone who is 60 and likes flowerdy shirts) ;)

    -Everyone telling me that when I get skinny my sex life will be better. LOL. My husband typically has comments for that one. And I wasn't complaining in the first place. :)


    I love myself and might sound vain but think I am beautiful, want to make the change to be around for the long haul.

    That what I see in the mirror is chubby but in my head I'm still like I was when I was fit and more attractive.

    That my boobs are bigger... Really they were perfectly sized before.

    That I can't wear (or don't have the confidence to wear) some really cute flattering outfits.

    That I get winded easily when I shouldn't.

    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.

    That the skinny new nurse at the doctor's office a year ago gasped because she wasn't expecting that number on a scale for someone my height.

    That the doctor probably thinks I wasn't trying hard enough because I stopped taking Phentermine (so not worth it) and then gained more that year instead of losing.

    That my favorite outfits are too small.

    That I'm not as attractive without clothes on as I was before--and it's not an age thing!

    This exactly!! Couldn't have said it any better.
