You know you're fat when...

in Introduce Yourself
1. All your pants have "shrunk".

2. Your Mom wants to take you clothes shopping in the plus size section.

3. Your legs and feet ache after walking for a while.

4. You can no longer cross your legs comfortably.

5. Your heart feels like it's going to explode after a walking up a flight of stairs.

6. You can no longer get a good night's rest.

7. Shopping for a new outfit throws you into a state of depression.

8. You cringe at the idea of a night on the town.

9. You are blaming allergies for shortness of breath.

10. High heels are a thing of the past.

I'm usually making excuses for these things. It's time to face facts. I'm fat. Instead of getting sad about this, I'm gonna turn it around. Hey the reality is that if I lose 10 lbs, half this list disappears! That's motivation enough for me.

    I agree with the whole list and wish to add: when you hide in the back of all photographs & all your underwear are too tight

    You can feel the skin chafing off from your thighs rubbing together.

    "Sucking it in" makes you look 5 months along instead of 6.

    Or your Facebook picture is at least 6 months old and it's a face shot.

    You have never worn a bikini in your life :sad:
    you have no confidence in yourself :grumble:

    my mom's favorite one when she was alive: "why can't you be like the cheerleaders or dancers on tv? Do you not want to be skinny and have guys flocking towards you?" :explode:

    Kids point at you in the store
    Random strangers yell obscenities at you calling you not so nice names
    You can't get on the floor to play with your kids because you can't get up without help
    You wear pajamas all the time because jeans are uncomfortable
    You don't like going in public to eat because the servers raise their brow as you order
    You're afraid to try to date
    You go to the bar with your skinny friends and stand in the corner all night as they get hit on
    It takes a few tries to get up off the chair
    You can't stand up to do the dishes because your feet and back ache
    You call the person in the next room because you don't want to use the effort of getting up
    You need your kids to fetch things for you because it's too hard for you
    You can't touch your toes or tie your shoes comfortably
