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.0 -
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!0 -
I get frustrated when I do Turbo Jam because when I do the "tuck" it really makes my belly look huge.0
-
I go to my swim classes without shaving...*gasp*
Amen sister!0 -
this is one of the best posts, thanks OP! :flowerforyou:0

I don't even own any yoga pants!0

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:0 -
I know how to use a ponytail holder to hook my jeans closed when they are too tight.
...A hair tie?
Yes, a hair tie is commonly referred to as a ponytail holder in the south. At least I assume it's a southern thing, because I call them ponytail holders too.0 -
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 xxx0

I wear headphone and turn the volume up really loud when I am running because I hate to hear my body clapping at me while running. :sad:
If I forget my headphone I will not run.
The first time I ran on the treadmill I heard this weird, squeaky rhythmic echoing in the gym and was trying to figure out what it was.....oh, IT'S MY CHUBBY SELF pounding away on the treadmill! I won't run without headphones either, or I'd die of embarrassment from all the noise my running creates.0 -
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:)0 -
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.0 -

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 me0 -
I put on weight and my Spanx don't fit anymore, so until I lose some more weight I'm just gonna have to jiggle!!! It's seriously de-moralising to try getting them on then needing help to get them off from the highest point you got them too :blushing:0

I laugh at the idea of a thigh gap. My thighs are very well acquainted and probably always will be even when I lose the chub I've recently gained.0

LOL I smooth out my belly, too!0 -
I got some from Old Navy's website. But it has been awhile0

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.0 -
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 pants0 -
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.0

I wear yoga pants daily and never do yoga.
Me too. Best kept office secret. Put a nice heel with them and they look like business attire.
I have considered these but never sprung for them:

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.0 -

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!0 -

You know how many pairs of pants I used to go through because of this?! I have a lot of pants that are in good condition with the exception of the thighs.
It was a sad day when the inseams of my jeans developed holes while the knees were in great condition.
For swimming I have taken to buying workout clothes. The tops fit better than tankini tops (actual bathing suits are cut in such a way I always seem to spill out :grumble: ) and the shorts keep my thighs from rubbing. As long as they have the built in bra/underwear workout gear is great as a bathing suit.0 -
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.0 -
I get frustrated when I do Turbo Jam because when I do the "tuck" it really makes my belly look huge.
Oh! I dislike doing the knee lifts in my Walk Away the Pounds DVD because I hate it when my thighs touch the part of my belly that sticks out still.
But I keep doing the workouts because I do feel good afterwards.0 -

Even at my smallest and fittest this happens to me I guess it's just the shape of my thighs.
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.0 -
Sometimes I sleep in my gym attire so that when I wake up all I have to do is roll out of bed and GO.
Genius! I might need to start implementing this to help me get my lazy, sleep loving butt out of bed in time to workout before work.
I have these jeans that I bought a size too large (almost two sizes since it's cut big) that I break out whenever I'm really struggling with how slow weight loss is or am having a day where I hate what I see in the mirror. It sounds super silly but it kind of helps.0
