I’m going to keep this list going, and add to it as I think of more things… Also, I will cross out the things that are no longer an issue, once the weight starts coming off.
- Being too embarrassed to be seen outside the house.
- Being too embarrassed to eat in front of other people.
- Having your 4 year old say that she wishes you were skinny. *sigh*
- Having a hard time bending over to tie your shoes, because your blasted stomach gets in the way.
- Ditto on using the dust pan… I vacuum up my sweeping piles.
- Double chins.
- Waking up with a back ache, from the weight of your stomach pulling on your back.
- Not being able to cross your legs in a lady-like fashion, because your thighs are so fat that you can’t close your lets together that closely.
- Having to literally climb into your SUV… Of course, some of that may be a height thing (5’0″
) - What happens to your furniture from too much sitting.
- Not being able to fit in the booths at some restaurants.
- Not being able to wear your wedding ring, because it no longer fits. (10/27/10)
- Jeans are a thing of the past, stretchy fabric and elastic waist bands feel better. (10/27/10)
- Having a neighbor kid tell your children that you are fugly.
- Being the fattest person at a family gathering. (10/27/10)
- Watching your thin friends eat twice as much as you EVER do, and still not gain weight.
- Having the chairs at the movie theater be a tight fit.
- Having people assume you are lazy, just because you are fat.
- Does being fat make your arthritis worse?
- Not being able to fit into half the clothes in your closet.
- Shopping in the plus sizes section, which has mainly “granny clothes”.
- Not being able to afford Lane Bryant clothes.
- Having to ignore the hunger pangs when they strike right before bed.
- Gaining the weight back twice as fast as you were able to lose it.
- Losing 70 pounds, only to gain back 108.8 pounds. *sigh*
- Being a “yo-yo” dieter.
- Looking like you’re 9 months pregnant, when you’re not pregnant at all (and want to be).
- Thunder thighs and bat wings.

“Being too embarrassed to be seen outside the house” – tell me about it. I have a party to attend with all of husband’s family – most of whom I don’t even know. So don’t want to go there because I’m so fat and having nothing nice to wear!
Bummer! … Been there, done that. *sigh*
