Feeling like I've wasted the best years of my life (my 20s and early 30s) being too fat to really feel good about me and enjoy life to the fullest.
This. I am only 24...but I definitely thought to myself "I am in my 20s - I should be the hottest I will EVER be in my life RIGHT NOW" I am so grateful i considered this...i don't want to look back and think to myself "i wish i lost my weight when i was 20"0 -
Not being able to bring my knees up to my chest
No longer being the skinny friend after spending the majority of my life being the skinny girl.
$1 sundays at goodwill are no longer a fun adventure because dressing rooms now make me really upset.
Having worsened chronic pain because my skeleton cannot carry the extra weight.0 -
1. I use to be known for being very skinny now I'm known for being fat.
2. Low energy level, I be about to die walking up the stairs.
3. Finding cloths in my size0 -

going into a store and the highest size they carry is not yours.....
avoiding stairs
Looking into mirrors and hallucinating that you are really smaller than what you are......0 -
Clothing selections, rolls, too big to do this or that, and when ur eating people look at u like "do u really need that".0

1. Not looking good in clothes (including bikinis, grrr)
2. Lack of energy
3. Anytime you eat, whether you're just a little chubby or obese, people stare and you just know they are thinking, "god she should put that down and hit the treadmill".0 -
well mostly what every one else is saying about clothes/swimsuits and self esteem, the judgement... but on top of that the cellulite...not wanting to wear shorts cause the dimples are disgusting
And worst of all....being thinner after being fat....that is what I hate most about having gained all that weight. Cause now? Now the cellulite is still there but looks worse cause there is lose skin on my thighs...My boobs were huge before but now they are just mostly deflated...bat wings on my arms, not bad, but there. And if you thought the stretch marks on your tummy looked bad as purple or silver lines...wait till all that is loose skin with stretch marks, feel like I look like I survived an attack with a weed wacker. (probably not that bad in reality but in my mind it is)... I STILL hate the way I look naked, just now it's for a different set of reasons. The only difference is now I do better at finding clothes I like and think I look good in and my insides are healthier.
Hoping that if I keep at it and try harder at exercising that some of that will get better.0 -

I'm not overweight anymore but when I was, I felt much older than I was. Now I feel younger than I am.0

-avoiding mirrors because they make me want to cry
-hating to go shopping because I can't find anything that looks good on me
-guys just look right past me as if I don't even exist as a dating option. I'm only there to be friends with because I'm not attractive enough0 -
The way I look and feel in clothes, hating when friends touch me cause I don't want them to feel my flubbery belly.0

Feeling like I am letting my daughter down. Not having the energy to run and play with her. I can't count now many times she's asked me to spin her or lift her and I had to say, "Not today, honey, mommy's back hurts. :brokenheart:0

[o] Not feeling comfortable in my own skin
[o] Not having confidence0 -
For me it is the fact that I still think of myself as the skinny girl I used to be and I put on clothes and stare in the mirror and reality keeps slapping me in the face. I just want the outside to match the inside after all the work I put into being mentally and emotionally healthy and just let my physical health spiral away.0

1. Clothes/shopping- I HATE shopping, I feel so uncomfortable and cant ever find something that I like and when I do it doesnt look right, and JEANS, dont get me started.......theyre either too big here or too small there.
2. SEX- Now my boyfriend is just fine with having sex, of course, but I have such low self esteem and issues with my body image that I am NEVER in the mood. I feel like Im blubbering everywhere or I dont have the stamina to be on top or try new things. We use to be so adventurous but now i just cant seem to bring myself to it. And LIGHTS OFF PLEASE
3. My son is about to turn 2 and soon hes gonna be a wild child and I wanna be able to keep up with him, so if I continue to be overweight thats gonna be a challenge.0
