So many to list..
I hated looking in a mirror
Clothes shopping
Pictures, I avoided them like it was my job
My double chin
My thighs rubbed together
I'm sure there is more but I just can't bare to list them...0 -
Not being able to shop and normal high street stores, and getting dirty looks when I did go in with friends/family.0
-
I really hate knowing that I failed myself. I hate it that I was fairly thin and let it get out of control. Also, buying shirts that fit are more expensive cause they are basically circus tents0
-
For me it's feeling unconfident. In bed, being naked, wearing my bathing suit, being out clothes shopping - anywhere where my weight comes to the forefront.
THIS! Exactly THIS!0 -
Going out with a group of my girlfriends, and for the first time, feeling like it was possible that I was the DUFF0
-
All of these issues expressed above I've had as well. In general, just feeling trapped in your own body is miserable.0

I also hate the looks I get when I go to a zumba class or when I go running outside. As if an obese person could not possibly perform these cardio exercises. I have to coach myself into not caring what others think of me and just doing what I need to do to get healthy.
You can come with me to Zumba ANY TIME, I love going to classes and being with people who love them too!0 -
The way people treat you differently when you are overweight, as if you are stupider
Every event I had to get dressed up for was stressful as I was constantly needing larger and larger sizes and looking worse and worse.0 -

^ This!!!
There are lots of things for me like: how I think people see me (huge)
clothes shopping
having my picture taken
I could go on...0 -
Of course, I hate looking in the mirror, I hate the way my clothes fit and I hate the way I feel. I hate having a baby and not being in most of the pictures with him because of the way I look.0
-
Not being able to shop til I drop. These days I drop before I can shop because it takes so much effort just to get to the shopping place! Nobody's fault but mine, but it is really hard to lose; especially when you are old like me!0
-
how I was treated like a disgusting monster
and now im treated like I actually exist and matter
that **** really really pisses me off0 -
Not overweight anymore. .......Lost about 50 lbs, YAY ME!
But when I was..... Not feeling comfortable or happy with myself. Feeling like nothing I wore looked good, having a hard time finding clothes that fit properly.0 -
I don't like how strangers will treat you differently.
Clothes shopping
And not so much now, but when I was heavier, I hated being the slow one. That walking up a hill was difficult.0 -
I miss feeling beautiful.0
-
The way the only thing that stands out to me in pictures is my double chin,
The pain when I excercise and having to pep talk myself into excercising harder or to keep going
Being relatively healthy but not looking like it (no high blood pressure, no diabetes, healthy levels of everything, etc)
The risk of not being healthy anymore- at anytime
The way my thighs rub together in anything besides pants
The fires that almost start when I used to try to wear pantyhose
Could go on but these things are only temporary and wont be true for long!!0 -
I'm only 30 and my knees hurt
Sitting down, belly hanging over my pants-- Makes me feel so self conscious
Just had to order a larger size uniform pant for work, so humiliating
After eating, I feel so bloated, especially in my face
Not feeling confident during sex with my bf, 15 pounds ago i felt great. Now i'm worried he's noticing the gain.
None of my shorts or bathing suits from last year fit, makes it so hard to find something to wear.
Feeling self conscious in my one peice bathing suit... I'm a bikini girl!
Walking up a flight of steps is pure, utter misery!
Don't want to wear my hair up, someone will notice all my chins!0 -
Mirrors and pictures - I don't even recognize that woman. Feeling uncomfortable in my own body. The rolls, dimples and jiggles that just don't belong. Being ashamed to be seen in public, feeling like I have to apologize to the cashier for any "junk" in my cart ), feeling judged every time I drive through a fast food place. Not being able to wear 90% of the clothes in my closet.0

When I was overweight, I felt "passed over". As if I didn't exist. Small things really got to me. For instance, on my wife's facebook page, she didn't have one picture of me posted. She had pics of cousins living in Ireland or our daughter or even our dog. I knew she loved me, but I got the impression she was embarrassed of me.
That was 2.5 years ago. I've transformed since Life is 180 degree different. Now the wife plasters her facebook with my pics
But it still pisses me off. I'm still the same person inside.0 -
insecurity, taking shirt off without feeling like a whale when I swim.0
-
I hate feeling like the biggest person in the room...0

Jeans are a nightmare to get a good fit0

Back fat and muffin top!0

For me its asthma and feeling tired when I walk - not like that at the moment so very happy :-)0

being morbidly obese it was clothes shopping and wearing frumpy things because I felt frumpy so may as well look it. But now with being just overweight it's the left over flab. I don't have to have a flat tummy just a flatter one and I want to get rid of these bat wings, oh and shorts I want to wear and look decent in shorts. It's def. the flab.0

What I hate the most of all is not being able to fit in my size 32 jeans anymore. I was able to wear straight slim, and slowly moved up to loose then I had to wear size 40's. All of this happened to me because I simply was saddened by life in general. I lost and managed to stay around 216 (my regular weight is 175 @ 18-20 percent bodyfat). I just really miss feeling comfy in jeans and especially my shoes, they got tighter and I never really noticed that.0

Questioning whatever I want to do - wondering if I am too big for whatever - like riding in the kid train with my grandson. Or feeling embarrassed because I take up so much room I always bump the person next to me.0
