    Why I hate being fat...

    * It is way too hot to be fat in the summer of Texas
    * My sister is fit & she is a life guard
    * I want to be able to complete a 100 mile bike race.
    * I wonder if anyone else notices how big my hips are when I walk past them.

    Great topic!

    1. It's too hot to be this big in the South in the summer.\
    2. Tired of being the biggest of all my cousins (I'm an only child, so they are the closest thing I have to siblings)
    3. My dad died at 54 of heart disease and diabetes complications, and I don't want to follow in his footsteps.
    4. I hate being the fattest mommy at church and/or our homeschool group gatherings.
    5. I'm tired of being the happy fat friend that I was in college and still am to this day.
    6. I don't want my son to be embarrased to bring someone home to meet me.

    I hate being fat because:

    - it makes me cry when I look in the mirror
    - it makes me cry when i workout (doing crunches are the worst.. watching the belly fat pool together...)
    - it makes me feel like my boyfriend is too good for me (fitness freak, soon-to-be cop)
    - it makes me not want to work out because i feel like its hopeless
    - my best friend called me voluptuous in high school and i realized that it basically meant not thin...6 years later and the comment has stayed with me.

    I hate the way I look in pictures! I don't feel as fat as I look.
    I hated feeling out of breath after playing with my kids for 5 minutes! This has improved so much in just a month of exercise at the gym.
    I hate feeling embarrassed when I order food in front of certain people!

    My biggest motivator-Realizing that I wasn't in any of the pictures of my daughter for her first 7 months of life. I was always saying don't get me in the shot, and well, nobody did.

    * How clothing fits on me
    * How unhealthy and unfit I am
    * How warm I am all the time
    * Being glossed over when around my skinny friends. Sure I'm taken, but it's still depressing.
    * Scared to lie on my boyfriend for any reason, despite him saying I'm OK.
    * Stretch marks that resemble a fight with a honey badger
    * How mortifying when my shirt gets caught in the folds when I sit.
    * Just not feeling good about myself in general
    * Knowing I'm far prettier thin.

    - I HATE feeling like the "cute chubby" friend (all my friends are skinny)
    - I hate going anywhere with my two nieces (who are 6 yrs and 10 yrs younger than me) and are size 3 and size 5. THe 22 yr old has TWO KIDS and looks AMAZING.
    - I hate trying on clothes and knowing they would be so cute if I were just skinny
    -I hate trying to suck in my stomach ALL the time!
    ** untagging myself in fb pics---yup!
    I have a ton of other reasons lol

    Makeachange-- I LOVE Your profile pic! I highly recommend the book Women, Food, and God to anyone that hasn't read it.

    I hate being fat because my jiggly jello tummy, arms, and legs are so gross!
    I hate being fat because my hubby is now skinny-- I cannot be the fat wife- Jack Sprat and all that...
    I hate being fat because I feel like people judge me. Actually I know they judge me because I'm fat. Lazy, out of control, bad mom....etc. etc.
    And I do not want to be a bad role model for my daughter. She is so perfect and beautiful. I cannot let my bad habits and self-loathing rub off on her!
    No more- I am going to start treating my body how it (I) deserve to be treated.

    I hate being fat because I feel so unattractive and so certain that no guy will ever look twice at me. I'm sick of being lonely.

    Pure and simple answer. Vanity. I hated my self before. Nothing fit right, I always felt like a slug, I hated everything.

    NOW, I look and feel amazing. I get disappointed when I go a week without having any compliments about how I look. Shopping (shich I love to do) is much more fun now. I used to go around and pick out a bunch of stuff to try on, get in the dressing room, see myself, and leave because no amount of clothes was going to make me love myself again. I had to lose the weight. And I did. And I am HOT once again! :bigsmile:

    *Back fat
    *A tummy that stops shimmying long after the rest of me does when I bellydance (see also: why I am very limited in costume choices)
    *Feeling like a behemoth next to my friends
    *Not being able to run very fast for very long because it stresses my shins and joints

    I hate being fat because:

    - my best friend called me voluptuous in high school and i realized that it basically meant not thin...6 years later and the comment has stayed with me.

    I hate being fat because:

    - Obesity runs in the family and it makes me feel like a victim when I give in
    - Diabetes runs in the family and I'm really low-maintenance and I'd like to stay that way
    - I feel like I smell worse
    - of the way it makes me feel when I sit "indian style" and the hip/butt cellulite rides up and presses down on the floor...barf
    - I teach high school kids and preach about the advantages of eating healthy and exercising, but up until a few weeks ago was a complete hypocrite
    - it's made me feel so uncomfortable to be intimate with my boyfriend that we rarely, if ever, have sex (TMI?)
    - When I was in high school my best friends, who were twins that both wore 00 (no joke) said I'd be a really great plus-size model (they thought they were being really nice). I was about 5'10 and 140 lbs at the time. It has stuck with me forever and now I know it was a complete sham. I was as fit and beautiful as I'll ever be, but I let the comment get to me, anyways.
