How often do u think about being fat? Like I think of my weight every time I'm in a room with people

I do this sometimes, then I mentally slap myself and remind myself that is incredibly unhelpful and unhealthy. It's important to recognize you are doing it. You now need to figure out how to focus your energy elsewhere and build your self-confidence.

Yes, I do this often to myself. Or more-so I compare how much I am/am not eating compared to others, and if I'm being judged because of that.

Please believe there is someone maybe half your size that thinks the same thing about themselves. If you read some of the post here there are ppl are 5'2 115lbs saying how fat they are and wish they can be 95lbs. Part of this journey is going to be to readjust your thinking not only about how you view food but also how you view yourself. I wish you success!

When I walk into body combat class and 95% of the people in there are at ideal bmi I start to think about it....then the music starts and I just try to make it through.

I almost never think about it. I'm always worried about dumb *kitten* like where my 3 year old left his shoes, did I close the garage door when I left for work, am I late to my meeting, what beer do I have in the fridge, what am I feeding the kids for dinner, did I buy cat food, Is the registration due on my car...yeah. dumb stuff.

I used to feel similarly, but I guess I have accepted that even when I am very thin, I am usually the physically largest woman in the room (I am tall with broad shoulders). I feel like anyone who is judging you is a pretty terrible person. I mean, it would be really unpleasant for you if they were to say something to you or treat you badly because of it. But odds are what they would do instead is avoid you, and that would be to your benefit, since they are a human being of low character. I think people need to stop thinking that being physically small has any bearing on a person's worth -- either our own or someone else's. Lose weight for health or aesthetics, sure, but don't think you have any less worth now. You are not any less deserving of an enjoyable and relaxing lunch out at a restaurant!

In the past this thought would cross my mind a lot. I think i was always trying to reassure myself that i wasn't the fattest person in the room.. Then i would be anxious to go to the gym or take an exercise class because I'd be worried everyone would be thinking "what is this fatty doing here?" now i rarely think about it and if i do i remind myself to cut the *kitten*!

When I was chubby (as in 1 lb overweight - is when I decided to lose) I rarely thought about it. Every once in a while I'd think I should exercise more or eat less chips. Sometimes wished I could share clothes with my sister (let's face it that will never happen seeing as I'm 6" taller than her haha).

Now that I've lost weight... I actually worry I'm obsessed. My mind felt healthier when I was heavier, even if my body wasn't. I'm still at a loss of what to do about it. But I kind of feel like time will solve it...

I admit, I compare a lot. I look at other people and wonder if I'm bigger than them or smaller, or how I'd look in what they are wearing. When I was bigger, I'd take note if I was the biggest in the room.

It's something I'm moving away from, because it's not healthy (I'm far more than my weight) but also probably because I'm a lower weight and less self conscious. But I think there is a big difference between self reflection and letting it colour your interactions. If doing so is making you think you're disgusting or whatnot, you need to work on stopping. Self abuse isn't helpful at all.

I don't really have a sense of myself being fat... even when I crossed the line into obese. When I looked in a mirror or at pictures of myself I was always kind of surprised because that wasn't my mind picture of myself. I think about being shorter than people more than my weight.
I thought about other people's weight negatively more when I hated myself. When I got more positive I would be thinking their hair looked good or they had a nice smile or I liked their outfit instead.

My weight has practically ruled the way I think about myself and the way I interact with others for years now. I used to avoid socializing and would go out of my way not to exercise in public because I was worried about how I looked to other people, but thankfully that's eased off a little now.

I've had this happen to me many times. I seem to always realize when I am the biggest person in the room / area. Then I start becoming paranoid and conscience about it. Then it sometimes effects my confidence as well, I stay quiet, etc. because I don't want people looking at me...and realize too I am the biggest in the room. It is really frustrating.

I've actually had people comment (in restraunts) about the "fat lady eating a salad- too late for her now." When this happens, I tell them what I think ie: none of their effing business, they are not paying my way/ticket, eff off. Other than that, I occasionally think about it, mainly when it's a booth or cramped sitting space that I feel squeezed into. The rest of the time, I'm more focused on conversation or enjoying my food.

Yeah I think about this a lot. People treat you a lot different too - you can tell and people are more inclined to make remarks assuming you're dumb as well. And skinny people easily assume you know nothing about eating heathy or exercising when fat but when you're your former skinny self people are "inspired" by your passion. From being skinny and becoming fat due to depression and medication I feel like I can really tell. Guys too are less likely to just be normal and more likely to be jerks or standoffish until they realize that, for myself, I'm a lesbian. As if they're worried the fat chick will like them or something until they realize the fat chick doesn't give a rats *kitten* about them.

I also don't clothes shop for this reason. Nor do I keep in contact with people who knew me before the weight gain - I don't want them to see me again and just remark afterwards on my weight. /sigh.

I do the same although I'm getting better at controlling those thoughts. Think of your friends and family, do you immediately think of their size and shape? No you think of their smiling faces and how they make you feel. Anyone worth knowing only cares what's on the inside
