Confessions of a chubby girl :)

I get irrationally annoyed with pushy clothing store clerks who "want to see what the pants look like on you". How do you think they'd look on a lady who is losing weight and determined to get in to the next size down? (Of course, they don't know that).

Other times, I waltz out to the 3-way mirror and play that RuPaul modeling song in my head.

I get frustrated when I do Turbo Jam because when I do the "tuck" it really makes my belly look huge.

this is one of the best posts, thanks OP! :flowerforyou:

Loving this!!

I am constantly pulling at my top in the gym to cover my assets.

I wear yoga pants for yoga, shopping, and house cleaning. I sometimes feel I should hide them from myself as the are becoming like my old jogging pants.

Sometimes when doing the C25K I get off rythym and look quite goofy on the treadmill trying to get my footing back and not fall off. I swear the guys next to me are tisking and saying she wont be here next month! I cant wait to surprise them! :laugh:

I am one who also hates! bras! As soon as i come home from work its clothes off and jammies on, also work out at home in my jammies!! lol xxx

Sometimes if I have been very good on the calories all day and have about 100 left I eat a cookie.....and I don't LOG it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get one cookie if I workout for more than 20 minutes. It's 85 calories, and I figure I can afford it!
(Note: I used to get one cookie for every 10 minutes. I feel this is better :laugh:)

Okay first - Thank you for this thread! It makes me feel so much better! I have 2:

1. I won't let my hubby see me do Insanity because I'm afraid he'll laugh (even though he swears he won't). For that matter, I can't bring myself to leave the house to workout because I don't want people making fun of me.
2. I don't have very many workout clothes, so I hang mine up to dry and wear them a couple days in a row. Then they get washed.

Also - Yoga pants FTW!

I wear mine for a week or more at a time, but I don't sweat a lot and I work out at home, so nobody else has to smell me

Ditto!

I am another who doesn't even own yoga pants.. but I've got plenty of sweats.

I won't go to the gym if there are other people in it because I'm too embarrassed. (Thankfully the gym at my apartment complex is rarely in use).

When I'm feeling overly fat I suck in as far as possible and use my hands to push down the fat to try to envision what I'll look like at my goal weight.

LOL I smooth out my belly, too!

I ask my family for smaller clothes to motivate myself to eat healthier.

I can spend 10 minutes just looking at myself in the mirror T_T

Sometimes i step off of my bicycle and walk a couple of minutes, getting on it later again while going to my destination - i get tired easily. I ALWAYS HAVE THE WIND IN MY FACE.

When we are at family things with my size 2 sister I sit there and will her to eat more of anything just so she can gain weight and be semi "fat" (maybe a size 10) I also will men to check me out or think I'm cute...it never happens, I think I will have more luck on my first one then my second.

I bought a maternity swimsuit to take on vacation to Mexico last month. I haven't been pregnant in 12 years....ugh! I don't know why, because I avoid the water, I hate the feeling of my thighs rubbing together when they are wet! LOL

I also have jeans & yoga pants with holes in the thigh area from them rubbing together.

One more confession: My thighs rub together when I walk so bad that I end up wearing holes in all my favourite pants! Haha

OMG HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM... I have ruined so many pairs of dress pants

This is the story of my life!!!!

Also I wear 2 sports bras, or a sport bra with a built in one because I'm afraid the girls will spill out. Also so I can pull one higher in the back so that my back fat is covered when running!

I jiggle my fat in the mirror. I confessed this to my best friend... and she is also guilty lol

and i do random excercises while cooking, or waiting on a timer. haha.

One more confession: My thighs rub together when I walk so bad that I end up wearing holes in all my favourite pants! Haha

Even at my smallest and fittest this happens to me I guess it's just the shape of my thighs.

Me too, even when I was a way-underweight 105-pound college kid. I don't see it changing. At least I have an excuse to buy new clothes once in a while. :ohwell:

ETA: The worst thing is shorts riding up while walking or running. Doesn't matter what size they are or how "in shape" I am... Cotton, cargo, or underarmour... I'm yanking those babies down every few minutes. Ick. Nothing kills that "I'm running like a beast and feeling so sexay" buzz so fast.
