Would squat down and pull my shirts over my knees to stretch them out so they weren't tight on my stomach?

OMG!! YES say it ain't so. You too?

I have waited until my husband was in the shower and sneak snacks :(

What about airplanes? MY God the seats are only getting smaller. Has anyone forced the side arm down and the seat belt closed so tight they can hardly breathe for the 3 hours on the plane? I did that once and had bruises on the tops of my thighs because the seat belt dug in so badly and I refused to ask for an extension.

What about sneaking food in the kitchen? Like not going back for seconds, but grabbing finger fulls or spoon fulls from the pans still on the stove? Eating what was left of the kid's plates while cleaning up? I *still* have to fight that urge all the time - especially when money's tight in the summer and I "can't stand to waste it." I should really tell myself that I "can't stand to WAIST it." Besides - isn't that why someone invented Tupperware?

Oh, and always take profile and online photos from the shoulders up, neck lifted and "eyes big" so as to not look so chunky. I even "tuck the arm flub" just in case my upper arms show.

And I lied on my DL weight, too. By a good 50 lbs. And I cough when I'm out of breath to keep from panting. And heaven forbid if I'm TALKING to someone walking up stairs. I often fake a rock, or something, and then ask them a question so THEY have to talk, not me.

I have one:

Am I the only one who doesn't feel as fat as I look? Seriously- I see a photo of me and I am like, holy cow. (no pun intended!) ;) And even though, yeah, I feel fat, I don't feel that fat. Is it just a psychological thing? I can't imagine myself the way I actually look or something?

Eagle I had a pic taken when I felt pretty confidant earlier in my weight loss and looking back boy too soon. Now sometimes I'm surprised my mirror image is so different than pictures in a good way.

What a great thread, I am so not alone.

Frankenstien jeans! So me!
Pillow Covering tummy rolls
Hidden food/wrappers
Wearing panty hose/tight shorts to avoid chafing
Taking pictures from more "flattering" angles
Wearing lots of black
getting into cars slowly
Wearing layers in the AZ heat...

I am sure there are tons more for me.. Glad to know your all here w/ me
