    meh. nothing. I loved everything about me when I was fat. I was a much more self confident/self accepting individual back in those days.

    So do you think you're LESS confident now that you're thinner or has nothing really changed?

    Definitely less confident. My body grosses me out a lot more as a 140 pound person with 15 pounds of extra skin hanging off of her like melting wax than it ever did as a 310 pound body full of fat. I avoid mirrors at all costs. It just makes me cry.

    I don't actually mind being fat, it has never bothered me, but to go for what I want to do over next few years I know I need to be a certain weight so it cant be used against me.

    I think if it gets to you then those who like to bully can sense it and do it even more to hurt you...

    Like a wasp senses fear bully's seem to sense self hatred, and prey up on it.

    For me, the hardest thing is my sisters. I am the youngest of three girls and I am the biggest of the three. It's horrible; i remember having to borrow my sister's shirt one time. The shirt that was loose on her fit me skin tight! Seeing myself in pictures and mirrors is also pretty horrible.

    Not being able to wear clothing I liked (custom made lobster dresses and half naked cavorting cowboy skirts from Etsy aside) - I'm shallow yes?

    * Not being able to do the things that I enjoyed
    *Not liking myself
    *Worried if I could/should continue my career aspirations
    *Not being able to really look at myself in the mirror.
    *Knowing I wasn't who I truly was.

    living in a state with hot humid summers. I used to really struggle with the heat.

    Clothes shopping- especially bras and jeans. Now I can pick up a cheapie bra from just about anywhere, and have it fit.

    Comments on how every one knows "I love to eat". Giving me leftovers/bigger portions, because, ya know, fatty loves food.gir

    Honestly I still felt cute as a big girl, Had sex, lived my life. I wasnt all like, DAMN I HATE THIS DEMON FAT!!!

    Wow! None of my family is overweight like I am so they don't really understand why I am so self-conscious. Reading through some of the posts though I'm not the only one to think about these things! I agree with amusement park rides and stuff like that, being afraid I wont fit. Luckily though that doesn't come up too often. I also don't have much upper body strength to lift myself but I'm in college so a lot of my friends will pull themselves up onto like a ledge or something easily. I usually awkwardly stand there and talk from the ground. Just little things like that that most people don't seem to understand!
