    use a motoroized cart due to knee injury not just because I am fat

    When your granddaughter walks in on you while your sitting on the toilet and says "Wow grandma, you need to buy a bigger toilet" Lol. When your husband grunts after getting off of him after sex. Or when you wave goodbye and your underarm keeps waving after you've stopped. When you won't tell your family or friends what you weigh.

    Your child comes home from school and calls you plump because saying fat is mean and would hurt mommy's feelings.


    Or your child drags you out of the middle school dance when you come to pick them up because they are embarrassed that you are their (fat) parent ...

    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 buy your shoes a size bigger than you wear and tie them loose so you don't have to bend over to tie them...you just slip them on...

    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...

    I wish I was a DD!! I was a DD by the time I graduated high school in 1994. I am a 36 HH and believe me those 3 or 4 letters in between there make a big difference. Champion doesn't make a sports bra to fit me. I have a few good ones I bought from a company called Bravissimo that makes or sells bras and bra sized swimwear for girls with big boobs. My boobs are not from being fat, I've always had big boobs and I won't lose them when I lose the weight. I never do.

    When you have a wardwobe of about 5 articles that you just rotate every week because you hate shopping now.

    I buy all my clothes on eBay because I don't want to go shopping. ><

    I don't expect a ton of sympathy here, but try being a 40B. And I don't even fill it out. T_T
