You know you're fat when...

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.

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:0 -

Me too-people have given up seats on trains for me thinking I am expecting. It is so upsetting and depressing!0 -
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 comfortably0 -
When you drop something on the floor, and swear in your head cause you know it's going to be hell picking it up. Your knee just might buckle this time.0

how about you know you are fat when your body is covered with it!0

My Mom's response to me telling her that I was going to change my eating habits and start exercising was "Great! You always lose weight so fast. You also gain weight fast though." Ouch:noway:0 -
When putting on your shoes is the hardest part of going to the gym.
When, no matter how hot it is outside, you still wear a hoodie.0 -
Your child comes home from school and calls you plump because saying fat is mean and would hurt mommy's feelings.0

When you order a diet soda with your super-sized value meal lol.0

Iv'e only had ONE time in public somebody say something.. and it really shocked me and threw me.. I think I had a distorted reality of my weight.. (like opposite of anorexia???) where I knew i was big.. but I DEF saw myself smaller then I was!.. just before I started MFP last July.. i went to happy hour with some friends.. at a local joint.. me and my thin friend (she had gastric bypass few yrs ago and is tiny now) anywhoo.. i was at my heaviest wt (234 size 18) (and im 5'4") wearing jeans and a big hoodie (my normal outfit) and I was walking out of the bathroom as a woman and her little girl were walking in and the little girl looked at me (my body more then face) and innocently said "mommy.. you know how some people are fat right"?... and the mom looked :indifferent: and said" yes but idk why you just said that"! like hushed ish.. and I walked out of the bathroom wiht my friend in a state of shock...and utter embarrasment... My friend said nothing and I said nothing.. but ya that was honestly the first and only time in public like that.. so i cant even imagine peeps that are like 300+ pounds and how there life is daily

Oh the first time you are publicly scrutinized hurts like heck because of the shock. Afterwards, it still hurts but you are now aware.0
