    Here's a few for me:

    - Having to offset my weight with 2-3 other people on the opposite side of carnival rides.
    - Walking on wood floors and hearing them creek
    - Bike tires looking like they are constantly flat while riding
    - Looking in the fridge and shouting 'who ate all the...' - then realizing it was me.
    - Having a closet full of nice clothes I can't fit
    - Public bathroom stalls seem to shrink when I step into them.
    - My shoes fan out at the bottom, and shoe tread wears out quickly under the pressure of my weight
    - Holding your breath while bending over to pick something up, or plug in cables behind the computer, or under the desk.

    My health is getting better, but my goal is to rid myself of these annoyances once and for all!

    For me,

    - Being looked at as if, I don't know how to eat.
    - Being told you must eat too much.

    How can they know, they are not on my shoulder 24/7. nor do they have Hashi, Chemical intolerance and allergies to contend with.

    Doctors are the worst because they do not check antibodies which cause inflammation. What the heck, I know what I am doing and what else matters.

    - Lower back pain when bending (resorting to the teapot method for picking things up)
    - Getting winded when doing things that require bending over (I really, really, hate this more than anything)
    - Having to use hands to help myself get up from cushioned seats
    - XXL means clothes shopping 100% online
    - Knowing that my size is annoying to sit next to on an airplane means driving (not the persons next to me fault for me spilling into their space).

    The most annoying part about fatness is the health risk. I started my journey at morbid obesity, (feel like I) almost immediately contracted diabetes and was told, even when I lose the excess weight, to expect to be dead after my 70th birthday. Although I'd like to think that I'm out of morbid obesity and have kicked diabetes in the kitten (you're welcome, MFP), I'm still almost positive that 70 is it for me.

    I also hate the stress of eating. Is it too much calories? Too much fat? Did i eat carbs already? I shouldnt eat that. I should eat that. I cant eat after 6. I want ice cream but i want to lose weight. Can i eat a small piece? But ice creams my favorite. I hate squash but it's a vegetable and they are good. I'm hungry. Dont snack between meals. Etc!!! Every time i try to lose weight i get stressed out and I actually gain weight. An endless cycle.

    the most annoying thing to me is:

    Can't find clothing that fit or the clothes are really ugly
    can't stand for a long period of time without feet hurting
    when I jump my fat keeps bouncing when I stop
    having to think about every little thing I eat because I don't want to many calories or to many carbs etc.
    Not being able to get off my bed without having to roll over

    all of the above listed but the worst is just the self loathing. feeling not good enough. and the burden of the weight. lately it's just getting to me. i just feel so damn heavy, like all the weight just makes everything hurt.

    For me, it's mostly not being able to shop in certain clothing stores because I'm "plus sized". I also hate the way I look in certain things and spend more time than I want to admit looking for clothing that is flattering and slimming. I just miss the days when I could walk into any store I wanted, not even try on the item because I was a standard size, and it would most likely look flattering on me.

    The worst for me was struggling to cycle up hills. I had no problem cycling on flat ground, but the extra 25 kg really took its toll when I was going uphill.
