But there ends the pity party, because we are all here, we are all doing it and we are all gonna melt this lard away! Right folks?

thank you for this topic. this is part of the mental part of our healthy lifestyle journey that is SO important. everyone should be doing this, either publicly or privately...but it should be in writing and you should review it often. so, my list:

1. I hated having NO energy to do anything after work, other than sit my fat *kitten* on the couch and watch TV or play on the computer (i.e., I hated being a couch potato).

2. I hated wearing pants with ever expanding waist lines....and then having those pants get tight and uncomfortable on me. On a related note, I hated having to get some pairs of work pants "repaired" because the seam would tear.

3. I hated having my picture taken and seeing pictures of me. I refused to have a family picture for the last several years because I didn't want to see myself in the family picture. I'm looking forward to a family picture this year.

4. I hated wondering if my wife was mentally withdrawing from the marriage because of my weight. As I learned earlier this year, I was asking my wife to love me in spite of who I had become (let's face it folks, we change when we become lethargic and it was wrong to expect my wife to love the lethargic version of me when I was energetic when we met).

5. I hated airplane rides because sitting in those seats was so dang uncomfortable. It also stunk that the seat belt barely fit around me and that was embarrassing.

6. I hated having to take my 2XL t-shirts out of the dryer after only a few minutes so that they wouldn't shrink and become uncomfortable. (now I dry all of my XL t-shirts for the full amount of time and they are all loose on me).

7. I hated coming up with excuses for why I was breathing hard when doing very little.

8. I hated being embarrassed to go to the beach because I never wanted to take my shirt off...and whenever we had friends over to swim in our pool, I often found "other things to do" rather than swim when friends were over.

9. I hated that I let myself get as heavy as I did....that I lost 50 pounds in 2005 and gained it all back (plus some)...that I really had no legitimate excuse for being as fat and out of shape as I was other than pure laziness, although I sure came up with enough excuses.

10. I hated living an unhealthy lifestyle when I was trying to encourage my children to eat healthy. My daughter would walk around asking me "I'm eating healthy, aren't I daddy" ... me answering "yes" ... but realizing that I wasn't eating healthy.

I too am one to look more at the positive stuff but I am going to throw what I hate about being overweight out there!

I don't mind being a bigger girl, I haven't known anything else. I am 5'9" so I an quite tall, and even in my thinner of bigger times I have felt and looked sexy there are things that I can't stand.

PLANTAR FASCITIS!! Although, I am not completely down and out...it does make it easier for me not to work out.
BIG CHONIES! I wanna wear the cute little bikini underwear instead of the boy shorts.
Amusement parks and airplanes! I have had to ask for an extension belt on a plane before...I was super humiliated.
SPANX!! WTF!! Seriously!?? They work ,yes, but come on now!!
Knowing almost every diet known to mankind...I can help everyone lose weight and I think I should be some kind of food counselor...but I can't lose my own...what is wrong with that??
I hate that my boys say, you are not fat mom! I want them to say, you look great mom and when I look in the mirror that is true!
I want my husband to be able to throw me around in bed... MEOW!! LOL
Clothes too, obviously!

Let's not forget my white bikini!!

We got this people!!

I hate that I'm now worried my younger daughter is going to get a negative body image (doesn't want to be as big as mom). She's already naturally very thin and has a high metabolism, but I realized the other day she wants a lower BMI. I think that watching me work to get my numbers down on the Wii makes her think that she needs to as well. I told her that once her goal resets in a week, she needs to shoot for a higher BMI. She's only 9! She needs to grow!

1. Not feeling happy in any of my clothes, belly bulge
2. Not liking having photos taken as they are EVIDENCE!
3. Feeling unfit when walking quickly and getting sweaty
4. Not being able to fit into my clothes
5. Being sad of all the years I felt sad even when i was two stone lighter
6. Feeling awkward in my underwear and thinking I don't look sexy
7. Feeling less inclined to go out to a club because I think I look too fat in my clothes
8. Not enjoying shopping anymore
9. Not being very flexible at all! Too much flab in the way
10. My mum constantly commenting on my weight and wondering if she does it then everyone else must think it!!!

So glad I'm not the only one thinking these things :S

Good luck to everyone! We WILL get to where we want if we do actually want it enough xx

I just hate being overweight. Period.

Specific details... Let's see.

1. Thighs rubbing.
2. Getting tired more quickly than I would without the excess weight.
3. Looking older than I'd like to look!

11. Feeling like I'm the fattest person in this country, and getting stares because I probably am. (I live in South Korea, most people are stick thin here.)

I grew up in South Korea and their attitude towards beauty annoys me BIG TIME!!

Same here in the Philippines. I don't know if its an Asian thing or something that if you got curvy body or a medium-large frame, they consider you fat & ugly. There was one time I felt like the fattest girl in this country.

Here are the things that suck to me about being over weight!

1. not being able to cross my legs when sitting!

2. feeling insecure about myself and feeling depressed about it and my weight!

3. not being able to fit into cute clothes!

4. Not having men check you out while walking by etc.!

5. Always feeling exhausted and more tired than i am now...still tired all the time though even with my big loss!

6. always feeling like the fattest person in the room or in my family!

7. not being able to feel or act sexy when I see a cute guy and flirt with him!

8. bingeing on so much food at one time that i feel horrible, stuffed and fatter than ever!

9. having people stare at me because of how fat i am and feeling ashamed!

10. not caring about myself and just exsisting instead of living!

i'm sure there are more but this should do!

1) Having to replace your jeans on a semi-regular basis because your thighs rubbing together has caused holes in the jeans
2) Spraining my ankle because the excess weight I have is stressing my bones and joints
3) Hearing the chair creak under you at work because you have moved and the chair doesn't seem to want to support your weight
4) Not being able to jog or run because after one block you are so out of weight
5) Shopping in the Woman's department and only have a very limited selection
6) Having to sit in the middle seat of a plane and crunching yourself in so you don't touch those around you

Those are the ones that come to my mind right now but hopefully soon they will be a thing of the past. :-)

I know this reply is about three years late, but dammit, I need to write this!

1. Having rolls on my stomach that poke out when I sit down. I used to not have these.
2. Not wanting my boyfriend to put his arm around me while spooning because I'm afraid he will feel my belly fat spill over his hand.
3. Not wanting my boyfriend to see the insides of my thighs because of stretch marks.
4. CELLULITE!!!!!!! I know skinny people get this too, but I feel like mine is worse because I'm fat.
5. My fat wrists and forearms.
6. When I type on the computer, I feel my upper arms jiggle. I never experienced this until I became overweight.
7. Crying because I need and want to lose weight, but it's so f***ing hard.
8. My legs. They look like fat little vienna sausages.
9. The fact that NONE of the extra weight I have put on has gone to my boobs. None. I have a BMI 26 and a completely flat chest.
10. I don't have a full on double chin yet, but my face is definitely rounder and fatter. I think it makes me look unattractive.

I hate that I can not find clothing in my size that looks right on me. I see all these clothes in misses that look really cute. Do they have anything that kind of resembles them in my size. Of course not. I can't wait to be a size 12 or a 10 so that I can get the really cute clothes too.
