The three things I hate most are:
1) When my older sisters use my clothes, even new ones, and say 'your clothes are comfortable cause they're so big! I don't have any comfortable clothes!' And I'm just there like stop buying such tightass clothes then hoe.
2) Being scared to do things which require a uniform (like paintballing) in case I dont fit into it.
3) Everytime I visit family they're always like 'you're so fat' or 'haha the youngest and the biggest' and feel the need to mention my weight in EVERY conversation we have.
Also hate being scared to take food in front of people cause they will immediately judge me. Even if the food is healthy or a small portion.
Anyway, what about you guys? Course theres a lot more I hate bout being fat haha but these are the main ones for me.

1) Not fitting comfortably in seats - theater, airplane or amusement rides0

I understand where you're coming from. I'm the youngest and the biggest too and feel the pressure to not be fat. I'm scared of being judged as well, and the body change when i'm fat.0

I lol'ed.
When I was at my fattest, I didn't walk, I waddled.0 -
Unlike a load of people, I didn't really have anything I hated about being fat. I felt/feel loved for who I am. I had/have colleagues/friends who respect me as a person and for my abilities and knowledge. It never stopped me from doing what I wanted, since I've never really been the type to want to climb a mountain, and I'm not into playing soccer with my daughter etc. although I've always been very active.
The only thing was probably my Mom and sister nagging me endlessly how I was going die early from being overweight (I never really understood that, how the hell did they know when I was going to die? And as though nagging ever motivates anyone to do anything?). Even that was tolerable because I live 3000 miles away from them.
I suppose I disliked that I had a closet full of clothes I couldn't get into and it made it kinda messy and tough to see what was in there, but I've never really been into clothes in a big way (except underwear, and I never had a problem getting the most wonderful undies whatever size I was). Likewise, that I could never find decent quality clothes to fit, although I still can't because I'm petite, so losing weight hasn't really changed that a whole load.
Just read all that, and it sounds pretty miserable... I'm not. But I'm the same person and my life hasn't really changed, just my food portions and dress size.0 -

It took a while to form a response because I was LMAO over this. What bothers me is when people point out that you're fat or need to lose weight. DUH! As if I can't see as well as they can that I need to lose weight. No need to point out the obvious.0 -
looking in the mirror at myself0
-
I think what I hated was any moment where the realization of how big I was came in to reality (looking in the mirror, pictures, seats, uniforms). Anything that was physical proof of my size. Now, after becoming a lot more fit and having lost 130 lbs I realize I hated how tired I was and how unfit I was.0
-
I couldn't bend over to paint my toenails. I never want to forget that, and how easy it is for me now to give myself a pedicure and not feel as if I am going to suffocate or pass out! There were many other indignities too: leaving a big sweat patch on plastic seats, not being able to walk and talk at the same time, being asked when my baby was due (this happened several times); a group of drunks chanting "FAT! FAT! FATTY!" at me; sitting next to a stranger on a train and them getting up and moving seats because I was spilling over into their space; my thighs rubbing together so much they bled. It's painful to remember, but I never want to forget xoxo0

looking in the mirror at myself
^ this a 1000X's0 -
The feeling that no matter where I was or what I was doing, I was being judged. Still feel that way.
Also, feeling judged for anything I ate. So I often tried to convince everyone I wasn't hungry and refused to eat in front of anyone. I still have problems there, but no where near as bad.
Being uncomfortable anywhere outside my home.
Clothes? Forget about it.
No energy to play with my young son.0 -
I actually didn't realize how uncomfortable almost everything was...clothes, sitting in a car...riding in an airplane, etc until I lost the weight. I also didn't really realize how much my weight was contributing to all of my aches and pains that I generally just associated with getting older.0
-
Being scared of being lifted, being insulted for the way I look, and the way my thighs chafe/my trousers grow holes.0

Boob sweat

I was thinking about this today:
Constantly tugging at my shirt to keep it from clinging to me.
Being uncomfortable all the time even just sitting or laying down
I didn't want to leave the house...all I did was go to work
Sweating and being so hot all the time.
Having to shop for clothes
Being scared a chair would break with me in it or when I sit down
just being so unhappy all the time.
Life is so much better now!!!
I would never ever ever ever go back to that misery!!!0 -
1) not feeling comfortable in a pool setting
2) being shy because was scared of being judged by my weight and was instantly labeled "the weird guy"
3) Not wanting to take pics with others because of how I looked0 -

When i was around 13, i used to sit in the canteen at school with my sandwiches on my lap and rip a piece and eat it when noone was looking. I wasn't even overweight in school, i just felt it.
The only thing i hated about being overweight really was sweating in the heat, alot compared to other people.0 -

lmao!!! ^^^^^
1. I hate not being able to feel comfortable in a dress or shorts.
2. I hate not being able to eat comfortably in front of people because I feel like they're thinking "what a fatass" haha
3. I hate when people take pictures and I happen to be in the picture or backround and they tag me in it.0 -
1) Seeing myself in pictures, in the mirror, or even my reflection in a window.
2) Not being able to do fun things because of weight/size limitations such as riding roller coasters, horseback riding, hot air balloon rides, etc.
3) Having a a closet full of clothes that don't fit.
4) Not wanting to eat in front of other people for fear of being judged.
5) Having people tell me that I need to lose weight for (every reason under the sun).... even by people who are severely overweight as well.0 -
Feeling bad about myself0
-
Not fitting in things like booths at a restaurant.
No cute bras fit and clothes in general
Spilling over on people on the train, they didn't like it, I didn't like it just all around a bad time.0 -
I hate knowing if there were a true Zombie Apocolypse I would be too slow to survive and would be one of the first to be eaten.
I hate having to stuff my stomach in a pair of jeans sometimes creating Camel Toes ugly cousin, Moose Knuckle.
I hate having to shop in the Ample Duds section - as if a 55 gallon trash bag with horizontal stripes is going to camoflauge what Ive got going on here. - Do the plus size designers have some sort of vendetta???
I hate sizing mysef up to the people around me, realizing that Im the biggest one there, especially at Sumo wrestling matches.
I hate that my size has created an indentation in my bed the size of the Grand Canyon.
All joking aside, Ive hated myself for quite awhile now, I just want to love myself again - and be able to shop in the Juniors section - they are blessed with the cutest clothes!!!0 -
Def chub rub and not being able to pull off the clothes I wanted to wear0
