    I am so on the same page as you but will also add :

    1. You stop doing things u love like swimming and jogging because u don't like the way I look , feel or appear when doing it
    2. Your favourite colour is black
    3. U always sit with a pillow or purse or jacket in front of u because u can't stand how it feels to be exposed
    4. U stop feeling like u want to be close to anyone because u cant stand the sight of yourself naked so how could anyone else

    Just to name a few

    This is my life!!! :sad:

    You sometimes skip going to events because there are people who haven't seen you since your weight gain who are going to be there and the humiliation is too much to deal with.

    THIS^

    This hit too close to home for me.

    I was reading it and thinking TICK, TICK yes thats me.

    Same.. some are really painful moments for me on a daily basis e.g. avoiding myself in the mirror / any reflective surface say in an elevator. But this thread is good since it forces me to face the truth.

    When people tell you that you've lost a ton of weight. I want to say, really, a ton? 2000lbs? Wow! Backslide compliment much?

    Here's the reversal after two months of eating healthy and working out:

    1. Surprising the kids by suggesting a trip to the park to play catch!

    2. Having not gone eaten fast food in over a MONTH!

    3. That roll on my scalp is GONE!

    4. My shoulders and neck are losing the humped look (see my blog for progress photos!)

    5. THe tape has room to spare!

    6. Lost so many inches!

    7. The seatbelt firs AND I can touch my gps without unbuckling!

    8. Um, size is, own from ten!

    9. And they are bikinis and not granny's!

    10. I was able to remove my rings tonight, the first time in a yr!

    That is great! Congratulations on your success so far!

    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.

    Yes Ma'am! Just by working out, and using your muscles, you should start getting a good night's sleep!

    chafing of inner thighs.

    This. I used to blame it on my skin not being used to me "not exercising for a while," or the "sand at the beach must have done it."

    Nope just fat.

    Also, standing next to a former NFL offensive lineman for a photo and looking like his mini-me.

    1. You don't like wearing shorts in public because of cellulite.
    2. When you're sitting, you always put a blanket or pillow in front of you because you don't wanna be exposed.
    3. You avoid taking full-body pictures.
    4. You don't like swimming or going to the beach because bathing suits are a nightmare.
    5. Most of your wardrobe is black because its a slimming color.

    Drying off after a shower is an aerobic workout.
    You keep having to pull your panties up because they keep rolling up under your belly roll.
    Your kids get a kick out of playing with the "wings" on the backs of your arms.
