Mine...is how I feel when I walk...My thighs rub together and I hate it.. I feel like everyone is looking at me.. I hate the fear of Will I be able to fit in a chair? when I go places... I feel I embarass my kids... I don't worry so much about the hubby (he has put on weight too)

Re: bothers

Fear. Fear of being the lone fat girl in the room, fear of being too fat to get on that ride at the theme park/fair, etc. I want to lose the weight so I can just be another person in line. Of course, never being able to fit into "nice" clothes bothers me too.

Re: bothers

I was always afraid of being the fattest person in the room...every new place I went, I would scan the room for people larger than I was.

I always had to shop in the big girl section, and it was hard finding clothes that fit my body--everything was either too small, or in the plus size section, every piece of clothing looked like a tent on me, it was so disproportionate.

I always always ALWAYS felt self-conscious with my boyfriend when we were out in public. He is long and lean and naturally thin. I, on the other hand, was a lot to love. My parents were actually against us being together at first because Geoff was skinny and I was fat--as if because of my weight, I wouldn't be able to "keep him around". But Geoff has always thought I was sexy, no matter what I weighed.

I hated not being able to do things that were easy for other people, like going on hikes, like climbing stairs, like getting out of the backseat of a car, like squeezing through a ticket turnstile, like tying my shoes without sitting down.

I've still got a ways to go, but people tell me I'm not fat anymore. I still am wearing the fat goggles on most days and I still see 265 pound Julie.

Re: bothers

The effect it has on my self esteem and confidence. I think that's why I used to drink so much, because it would give me a boost.

I'm also really scared of being alone. I've been single for over a year now, and I think that on a physical level my weight is affecting that (beer belly = unattractive), plus my confidence is really low at parties, in pubs, in crowds of new people, which sucks because thats where I'm most likely to meet someone!

I'm working on it though

Re: bothers

what truly bothers me about my weight is that not once, but twice i've done atkins and got down to a overy fit and trim size. and i was always so dedicated to staying that way and on this wol forever. after the first time something happened at work to stress me out completely and i went off and ate like i used to and before i knew i had gained too much back. the second time it was the thanksgiving and christmas holidays, i said i'd get right back to the atkins woe after the new years, well that didn't happen so here i am now way overweight and miserable.

the worst part about the weight is definately the trying on clothes part. especially since most of the clothes i own are for that skinny girl i once was. the last 3 months i've had to go out and buy new close just to have something to wear and seems like every month the new clothes i just bought were getting too tight, so i'd have to go buy more clothes that were even bigger.

it's so frustrating, but now i'm back and more motivated than ever.
