I requested to join on FB. This is just the kind of push I need.

I never realized that this thread would become so popular. I guess we can all relate to at least a few of the things on this list even if you aren't that overweight. I have a few more to add... Cookies are your drug of choice. You can't hide your muffin top no matter how big your shirt is. You might have a camel toe…

I've lost 3 boxes of butter and that is pretty awesome!

I haven't been to a neurologist before,so I'm curious about what he/she may say. I have taken topamax before and it didn't work for me. Going gluten free is the only thing I feel I haven't tried.

That is priceless! Good job!

How long has it been?

Thanks everyone for the info. Migraines are truly a mystery. Hopefully the neurologist will be able to help.

Thank you! How sweet!

That just made me sad. What is wrong with people?!

I'm starting over too. Let's do this!

Absolutely! While it's funny reading some of these, it is a reality (or was) for many of us. We are all here for the same reason. To eliminate this list from our lives, so don't let it make you feel bad. Let it drive you!

Agreed. I've been taking more photos than ever. Tomorrow isn't promised, and that is a reality. Question, what is a NSV?

Oh I come prepared! But that dress adds at least 10 lbs...didn't you know? lol!

What an a**! Sorry that happened to you.

You suck in your tummy when you stand on the scale. You weigh yourself BEFORE your shower. You unbutton your jeans as soon as you get home. You hope getting a haircut might show a little loss on the scale. Scales at the doctor's office are inaccurate...after all...you are fully dressed.

When you try to maintain your breathing while working out, so that no one will know how out of shape you are (as if that helps lol).

Yup...this is me too

When strangers tell you that you have such a beautiful face, as opposed to just saying you're beautiful. Ouch!

I know what you mean...my list is never ending and I can relate with almost all of these :sad:

I'm glad you find it inspirational:smile: I'm also happy I'm not the only one who feels like this and has these fat person epiphanies. It's an awful feeling realizing you are fat, but it's nice knowing you are not alone on your journey.

I'm right there with ya!

LOL!

Something on my lap as I sit is a must:embarassed:

Oh the first time you are publicly scrutinized hurts like heck because of the shock. Afterwards, it still hurts but you are now aware.

My daughter asked me just last night if her cheeks were as big as mine with a worried look on her face. :ohwell:

When you order a diet soda with your super-sized value meal lol.

My Mom's response to me telling her that I was going to change my eating habits and start exercising was "Great! You always lose weight so fast. You also gain weight fast though." Ouch:noway:

When you drop something on the floor, and swear in your head cause you know it's going to be hell picking it up. Your knee just might buckle this time.

I haven't got to the motorized cart point yet...I refuse! lol
