You know you're fat when...

When your pajama pants (the only thing that is always bought in a bigger size for comfort) become too small. This is when I started losing weight.0

chafing of inner thighs.
That was my wake up call. When I went for a walk in jean shorts and my inner thighs were bright red and even kind of scabbed afterwards.0 -
When your legs spill over whatever chair you're sitting in and/or you dread the coach section of an airplane for having to smash yourself into the wall of the airplane so as to give the middle seat person room.
so true.... coach section of airplanes are a nightmare when you're constantly worried about how much of your neighbor's seat you're taking up.0 -
when you go shopping and the saleswoman says to you 'are you buying it for you? if so, it won't fit. but it will on someone else.' JERKKKK.0

When you're called a whale.
But that was all the way back in 8th grade when I had a muffin top but other then that I wasn't fat but it hurt and made me very self conscious of my weight.0 -
This post is so true! For me it used to be:
1. I would walk and feel my belly and thighs wobble
2. I would constantly wear leggings! Jeans were a no go area!
3. People used to say "wow, you look really well" when you know they mean "wow, you look really fat"
4. Crying because I could no longer shop in the area that I wanted!
5. The moment I could eat a whole large dominos pizza!!

When you go shopping for a brand of jeans you used to wear and the sales lady says "Oh Hon, they don't make those in your size!"
One time I went on a secret shop to Hollister back in college--I was supposed to pick any pair of jeans and ask for them in a size 12. I thought "what a coincidence, I AM a size 12--hey I might even end up buying them!"
So I went in, found a pair, and asked the girl for a size 12. She immediately looked confused and said "ummm, they don't *sell* them in that size....I mean, I guess you could try the online catalog, but, I don't know...."
I went home and cried hysterically. Didn't lose any weight...pretty sure I gained.0 -
You sweat gravy
Bleed butter
poop Twinkies "or Dreamies"
and your arms look like the chicken wings you eat everyday at KFC0 -
Leggings. Just leggings. I wore leggings for MONTHS because I didn't have to admit I was higher than a size 20.0

You hope the seat next to you on the plane is vacant0

I hear you!! Legging and stretchy dresses!0 -
The start of gaining weight though was when I chaffed a hole in my jeans between my thighs! Embarrassing!0

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.
Totally agree !!0 -
The Myspace angle. Taking 10 photos for everyone 1 you use. Making your friends take photos over and over and over again. Dreading being offered a seat on the bus/train because you look pregnant. Actually being asked when you are due (this happened last year....!)0

I got another one you don't smile in photographs or actually make it to where you don't even take photographs.
Oh no, it's where you take all of the photographs so that you're not in them!0 -

I've only ever had somebody say something once. It was only a few weeks ago, just after I started using MFP. I went to the swimming pool and while I was walking to the pool some young boy (probably mid to late teens) shouted "He's a monster! Look at that belly!" And all of his buddies started laughing. Now, I'm not usually a violent person, I've never been in a fight or anything, but my god I wanted to hit him!
Instead I just got in the pool, did some stretches and then just started smashing out the lengths, didn't get back out again until after he had left though.0 -
when your boobs become your best asset0

I dressed as Tinkerbell for my brother's ex's birthday (fancy dress, natch) and got called Shrek by some drunken yob who projectile vomited over the club sofas. Normally I'd help a bro out in need, but I just watched and walked right by
(I was a size 14 and the smallest I'd been for years)0 -

Wheeen you are at a restaurant with your guy, he orders a salad and a treat - AND the waiter passes you the salad on assumption you are the one who needs it. Fat shaming or just gender stereotype? YOU DECIDE!0

When you have to keep taking breaks in the shower cubicle when shaving your legs because all that bending down in a tight space is making you asphyxiate.
The bottom of your shirt and top of your trousers keep parting ways (such, such a good look)
When everyone else manages to successfully walk around someones chair and you're the only person that has to ask them to move in a bit.
When the steering wheel on your car is making your jumpers bobble at the belly because it's rubbing.
When doing everyday chores makes you look like you've just finished an Iron Man contest.0 -
You're terrified of going to the gym, because by the time I've got changed I would be out of breath and red in the face before starting! I literally hated it with a passion. I would shake with fear at the thought of getting sweaty and to be honest I worked my hardest to avoid these situations for years, which led to me gaining more and more! Eventually, my husband kept mentioning a diet that "he" wanted to do and I just lost it. That week I bought a cheap bike, started swimming 2 times a week and Tae Kwon Do (Which I still feel a little uncomfortable at because of my size) and it's getting easier to not give a monkeys but still a bit of a way to go, but I feel I have overcame the hardpart which was my fear and insecurities0
