    - when your favorite kind of pants are yoga pants
    - when your closet is full of different styles of black clothing
    - when u sit down and you can feel your rolls
    - during a work out class you're that person who can't keep up and looks like they're going to fall over
    - when u buy the same thing in diff colors because its hard to find anything that looks right on you and hides your fatness

    Wow, I can go on and on and on lol .....

    You sit down in the bathtub and suddenly realize your hips touch the sides. When did THAT happen?????

    When you have to rock back and forth to get out of bed and you end up rocking yourself back to sleep.

    That's hilarious!

    When I was in college, my friend had told me about this group of boys her boyfriend hung around with that, when they saw an overweight person anywhere, they would "call" them, or "get dibs" on them by yelling "MY TEAM!" It was a stupid, immature game they got a huge kick out of. When she told me, I couldn't believe how rude they were. Months later, I came home from college, and went to a party at her house. I walked in, and after greeting my friend, the next thing I hear is one of those guys yell "MY TEAM!" And all the others shouting out because they didn't "call" me first. They had no idea I knew what this meant. I was SO embarrassed, I just wanted to leave, but I pretended I didn't hear it, and drank away my feelings :(

    LOVE this....I think the legs not crossing is a great one. You know, I just started some aerobics classes, and I can't believe how fat I look in the mirrors...makes me work harder!

    WOW, congrats on your weight loss!! It's not as easy as putting it on -- to get it off -- but I have enjoyed the challenge. Keep the great work up!

    All of your long sleeve shirts have sleeves that are way too long.

    My daughter once told me I look like an ogre. I cried while washing the dishes, my husband saw me
    and force her to say sorry to me. ???? I told her, it's fine because it's the truth and Mommy will soon lose all the ogre weight.

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

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


    ugh this is so me! but hopefully it wont be for too much longer....

    i got another one that i didnt see mentioned, you go into a dressing room in the mall and cry because of how you look in the clothes or that they dont fit in the size you thought you were </3

    But this SOO changes - stands on its head! - when you try on the size you thought you were and find it's too small & you've gone down ANOTHER size :smile: :smile: :smile:

    Worth working for! Keep the idea as motivation & to keep you going during plateaux.

    cajosor, I don't run. Running hurts. Not my legs, not my feet, not my lungs. It hurts my chest. I've tried a bunch of different sports bras, I've tried layering them, I've tried a sports bra over my real bra. Nothing works. So I'll chase the kids in the yard or run from my neighbors very nasty little dog but running for fitness isn't happening. I've seen people get a lot of enjoyment out of running and also a lot of health benefits from it too so this is kind of a disappointment for me.

    I always thought I couldn't run because of my chest (DDs) but I started watching The Biggest Loser and if those girls can do it, so can I. I bought a really good supportive underwire sports bra (Champion) and just started doing it. 30 sec at a time, a min at a time... I'm up to 6 min straight, 2 min walking and 6 min running, etc. I can do a 5k in 37ish min this way...

    Rather than calling you "pretty" or even "handsome," your mother calls you "well-proportioned..." :o(

    HOW COULD I FORGET! The back boob. Y'know, when you put your bra on and there is a whole chest popping out. Ugh. (It's gone now, mostly!)

    I call them my bat wings! I can't wait until they are gone. It's hard when you have big boobs because the bras have to be tighter to hold 'em up and then it just makes this problem worse.

    Bat wings is an AWESOME name for them. They are hereby known as my diminishing bat wings. Yeah, I pack a good pair of melons - and a good back chest ;)

    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

    Lol... Sad but true

    I got another one you don't smile in photographs or actually make it to where you don't even take photographs.

    This one is so correct that I didn't even get a "before" picture of myself. I also can't even think of one that has been taken recently (that I'm not hiding in the back) that I can use.

    You answer the phone when the caller is a number you don't recognize. And it turns out to be one of those "lose weight now ask me how" consultants from some multi-level marketing weight loss company. Who was given your number by your mom.

    You suck in your tummy when you stand on the scale.
    You weigh yourself BEFORE your shower.
    You unbutton your jeans as soon as you get home.
    You hope getting a haircut might show a little loss on the scale.
    Scales at the doctor's office are inaccurate...after all...you are fully dressed.

    So true.
    Take off all jewelry, & glasses before you step on the scale.

    When my father wants me to workout 4 hours a day just so he doesn't feel bad that he has a fat daughter. (He's super skinny and was in the Navy..so yeah)
    Kay. Thanks Dad.

    you can't do a yoga pose.. not because your too "tight" but because the rolls of fat literally block you from bending any more.

    ^^^ This! My stomach stops me before I can even try. All yoga poses stop at 90° angles lmao. Also adding that car seatbelts and steering wheels are a nuisance.

    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.

    Good for you! Disregard the "fat" list and make a list of how you'll know that you're not fat anymore and work your way toward those goals! Always look forward. The only think you should ever look back for is the wisdom you can take from the mistakes - don't regret the mistakes, learn from them and be thankful that you did!

    Totally agree on hiding in the back of photographs.

    I did that a few Christmases ago & so did a few other relatives & when we looked at the picture the next Christmas we had no idea who we were. We thought someone came and photobombed our Christmas picture.

    The scales say, "to be continued..."

    Wouldn't that be scary if scales said that.
