    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".

    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.

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

    -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 enough

    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:

    [o] Not feeling comfortable in my own skin

    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.

    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.

    The things that I hate about being overweight is my stomach becoming a muffin top due to bloating and weight gain, not having enough energy to get through the day, not doing enough cardio, burning off a little fat, and having people say that I'm getting too big to fit into my own clothes. I never want my tummy to have a muffin top again and I never want to be fat like my friends and family have over the years. :indifferent:

    Having doctors believe being fat is why I'm sick. It's going to be hilarious when I get to a "healthy" weight and become immortal. :huh:

    Seriously....is there anything thing to like? Think of all the reasons you would love to be at a normal weight then do a reverse 180. Yup, I came up with nothing either.

    Shopping for clothes
    Looking into the mirror
    Not being able to tie my shoes without breathing hard because my stomach is squishing my lungs
    Snide remarks from anyone (family, friends, etc)
    Feeling crowded sitting in booths, seats, etc.

    ~ Being judged. It's done all the time to everyone. Society is harsh. Even with good self esteem you know it's there. I am the same person regardless of my size. :flowerforyou:

    1. Not wanting to be in pics because I look like a whale
    2. I'm afraid of teaching my kids bad habits
    3. Loving vintage/retro/kitsch/other cute clothing and not being able to shop for it because nothing fits
    4. Low sex drive

    Going to change the question to a positive. The reasons why I want to lose weight are:

    To put on socks and tie my shoes without struggle.

    To roll over in bed without difficulty.

    To sit and get back up off the sofa without effort to do so.

    To not feel like I am suffocating when I lay down. I don't think I fall asleep...I think I am blocking my air with how heavy I am.

    To walk and play outside without being winded after a block.

    To get control of anxiety and depression.

    To be a role model for health for my child.

    To feel as good on the outside as I am beginning to on the inside.

    To not be at risk for heart attack and other health issues.

    To remedy the damage that being on steroids for 14 years did to me.

    To have better sex with my partner.

    To be able to wear clothing that does not come from a plus size store.

    To be able to exercise better.

    To be happier.

    Having to have my husband put my shoes and socks on for me.

    Going up stairs putting me out of breath then coming down sideways one foot at a time always being afraid I'd fall.

    Isolating myself and not leaving my house unless I absolutely had to.

    Eating so poorly for so long I became malnourished and had to be hospitalized. This one really upset me. I was there with young girls who were anorexic or bulimic and all very thin. Then there I was the elephant in the room. So shameful.

    Having no self-esteem at all.

    Not fitting into my favourite clothes. Who wants to have to go shopping because everything's too tight? Not me!!

    Not being able to wear what I want. I have very good fashion sense but my big stomach makes cute clothes look TERRIBLE,

    For me it's looking lumpy Niall my clothes. Having to try on 20 things before I find even one thing that looks ok. Being breathless when climbing stairs. Thighs rubbing together. In summer wearing shorts and having them ride up in the middle. Having to wear spanx or control top pantyhose under dresses in summer so I don't jiggle stinks too.

    I think that everyone has pretty much covered all the reasons. I can't really think of anything else to add. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I just finished school and I am taking a week off to rethink how I am going to tackle this problem yet again. Starting April 15th things are getting pushed into high gear. My 16 year old daughter and I are going Six Flags hopping this July and I want to make sure that I can ride all the rides with her. :noway:

    I don't feel comfortable in my clothes.
    I don't FIT into my clothes.
    I can't go bear legged without getting chafe marks and pains on my thighs.
    I'm not as confident as I was when I was skinnier.
    I can't get away with wearing my corsets and shorter skirts without feeling like I look like a fool.
    My jawline isn't as strong as it was when I was skinnier.
    My ARMS.
    I don't feel attractive.

    Having my additional weight sit on my belly and hips. Rings that don't fit anymore.
    Clothes increasing in size. These are a few of my fatty things!
