What do you hate about being fat?

TexasTallchick · June 2018

I hate always being sweaty, especially in the summer in Texas. I’m too fat to wear shorts so I wear jeans all summer. I rely and copious amounts of baby powder to help with all the sweat.

I've thought about this and it turns out that through fat or fit, in sickness or in health, in good times or in bad we have just got to love ourselves. Pain is the precursor to change. Emotional, physical, mental and even the pain of peer pressure causes change. Fat is not a feeling.

Make sure your baby powder is talc-free. Go buy yourself some shorts and don't let any of this hold you back from enjoying your summer. Hold your head high and walk into the room like a lion tamer. Let nothing deter your happiness. You deserve it.

People treating me like I must be an idiot. That and sore feet.

Well, that’s 2 things I hated before I lost about 110 lbs. Have to disagree a bit, I didn’t decide I loved myself at 285 lbs. But I decided that I was worthy of basic respect, the same as anybody else. So I became determined to respect myself.
The weight loss just followed from that.

don't suffer in jeans all summer. go buy some shorts and live your life in comfort. I just spent the day at a hotel pool. There were more overweight women than thin ones by FAR. They all had on tasteful bathing suits in bright colors, some in floral patterns. They were enjoying themselves..and i was so glad to see that. no longer do heavy people have to hide in shame.

But, to answer what you asked... i hated not looking like myself. you know, how being overweight changes the shape of your face and you're just a version of what you used to look like. i've lost all the weight and i'm glad now..to see the old me.

Not being able to get nice fitting clothes that I feel comfortable in, everything seems so shapeless.

lorib642 · June 2018

I hate clothes shopping. There are not as many options in the women's dept and i feel embarrased by my size. And swimmimng, i want to cool off but dont want people to see me in a swimsuit.

And, i have health conditions that coukd improve with weightloss.

I also dont like lugging this weight around

jenilla1 · June 2018

Being sluggish and lethargic - and looking it, too.

The Texas summer boob sweat. I'm too cheap to turn the air low enough to avoid it so I'll have sweat running down my stomach just sitting in my apartment. Also the embarrassment of trying to use the tiny towels a lot of public pool/shower facilities have.

Always being the fat one in the group of skinny friends and family.

I'm really sorry y'all feel this way. It makes me sad !
Please don't suffer through the summer in jeans. Wear shorts if you are hot. Please believe me when I say that most people are not judging you because of your weight. I don't think badly of any over weight person wearing shorts or tank tops or swimming suits. Honestly I wouldn't even notice. I'm too busy worrying about myself. I'm sure there's a lot of other people just like me that don't judge others upon weight or looks.

I don’t have it anymore, as this is the first summer without it, but what i realized I hated the MOST was thigh chub rub in the summer. SOOO painful!

beachbody4l · June 2018

I second chub rub. It was the worst when I was bigger. I was either burning up from wearing pants or waiting for the awful pain to heal on my thighs. I definitely don't miss it.
Also walking upstairs with someone and trying to pace my breathing so they couldn't tell out out of breath I was from a simple flight of stairs.
Saying I love high fashion and couture but having people look me up and down like, 'uh huh suuure you do...'

FL_Hiker · June 2018

I'm very self conscious, I don't even have much weight to lose but I also am not wearing shorts this summer... I also feel embarrassed wearing my bathing suit, I was a competitive swimmer for 12 years back then I didn't feel the same way! I also miss being able to eat anything I wanted whenever. I used to exercise so much that I could. I also miss being able to easily fit anywhere comfortably. And my old clothes fitting, I hate shopping for new clothes.

seltzermint555 · June 2018

I really did not hate that much about being fat. Mainly just people taking candid full body photos of me. I still hate that now after 130 lb loss but am a lot less upset by the photos.

MNic416 · June 2018

I hate being tired all the time. No energy!

kroe4 · June 2018

Luckily after loosing 50 lbs I don't have it anymore, but I hated having swollen ankles/legs every day. You could literally push in on the top of my shin bone and make an indent. Like freaking play-doh legs.

saraonly9913 · June 2018

Huffing and puffing every where. Back pain. Difficulty walking. Getting in my own way. Becoming too fat for even my "fat" clothes. Barely fitting into airplane and amusement park ride seats. Hating what I saw in mirrors and store windows.

Diabetes. High blood pressure. High triglycerides. High cholesterol. Great fears of stroke and heart disease.

I am happy to say I've lost a little over 100 pounds and am working on lowering the above numbers.

VUA21 · June 2018

I can happily say that I am no longer obese. But, looking back: the worst thing was clothes. Not necessarily the crap choices I had, but how fast I would wear out my clothes, specifically pants. The constant rubbing of my thighs would wear out my pants so fast.

dsboohead · June 2018

Feeling gross and blubbery....thats what I HATE!

kdbulger · June 2018

I didn't like feeling like I took up too much space. I also didn't like how things would dig in even if they fit properly - bras, belts, etc all had more chafing points when I was obese.

nicolesdoinit · June 2018

I hate feeling so self conscious and being tired all the time! I hate the way my clothes look and just the way i look..

What do you hate about being fat?
