I love that everytime I go to the doctor's they send me for tests to see if I've got Diabetes, you know, because it's *obvious* that I do. (although, I really do love the looks on their face when I don't, personal victory)
I love that getting dress in the morning involves, baby powder and a girdle, because I don't need those 5 minutes back.
I love it when my skinny friends complain about being *so* fat and I win. Apryl, we should consult on ways to kick their butts..
I love how my personality always makes up for the fact I'm fat!
I love designers, pants that come up to my boobs hold more in, right?
I love all my shopping options, its so wonderful to shop at the same store over and over again, *especially* since plus size girls are all really old of kinda sleezy!
This is a little too much fun, I could go on for days!
I love planning my travel around which bathrooms will be big enough to be comfortable.
Likewise, I love planning what I'm going to drink and when around how long the flight or train trip is.
I love using my 4 year old as an excuse to use the handicapped potty.
I love mentally "scouting ahead" for the easiest route through narrow racks in stores, or between tables in restaurants.
I love pausing to "look at something interesting" when walking with friends, when in reality they're going too fast for me and I have to catch my breath.
I love having someone sit beside me on the Metro and then stand up to find another seat when they realize how much of their seat I take up.
I love using my size to ensure a prime position at the Metro door. Not only am I big, but if I sway side to side, people give me more room. I'm usually the first person in the door.
I love not being able to ride the fun amusement park rides. I don't miss roller coasters at all.
I love having to "talk myself into" trying physical things, even relatively easy ones that might make me look less-than-graceful, like climbing into the back of a hay wagon.
I love having fantasies about being trapped in my room by a fire in the house, and being too fat to get out the window to safety. (Yes, I get morbid at times. *grins*)
I love hearing the floor of a shower creak when I move, and having the first thought that flashes in my head be that I'll break through the floor, and break my leg, and the EMTs would have to get a crane or something to ge me out, while all the neighbors watched. (this thought happened just the other day)
I love knowing that for people who may not remember my name, like at church or in the neighborhood, I'm probably known as "that fat woman".
I LOVE not being sure if I can fit in the toliet stalls in Asia.
I LOVE not being able to squat properly in the Asian bathrooms when they are the ONLY kind available within a 50 mile radius. FYI....they are the ones with just a hole in the floor.
~I love always being the fat friend
~I love that I always feel ugly when with my friends
~I love that my BOYFRIEND OF THREE YEARS ALMOST Weights at least a hundered pounds less than I do
~I love that I cant find nice clothes
~I love having to tuck my shirt in for work and my huge butt is out for the world to see
~I love all the fat comments
(been thinking on this for a while now so i have more)
i love that i am depriving my kids of their life because i'm too embarrassed to take them places and do things.
So true.
I love that I'm the only person I know who is 100 pounds over weight.

Ha ha...I love this one. This is the only kind of toilet that we have at the school where I work. My husband is deathly afraid of the thing and all he has to do is stand there! But I digress....
1. I love the fact that anytime I go to the doctor, I'm not taken seriously. Surely the reason I have the flu is because I'm fat.
2. I love the reactions I get when people find out that I exercise.
3. I loved the way I felt when I met up with my friends after 4 years and a 65 lb increase.
4. I love volunteering to take pictures so that people don't notice I'm not in them.

I see a few of us have this similar problem. Of the things I've been to the doctor for, 95% at least have been "due to my weight". I once sprained my ankle and the doctor told me I should lose weight to avoid such occurences (falling down a hill had nothing to do with it, huh and it was the first and only time I had sprained anything and have never broken a bone). They always say it with such disgust too.
I went to my doctors for a year with agony in my ankle and back...obviously it was my weight....yeah, I had cancer!

Doctors are Daft! I hate that... I get that all the time "Well if you would lose weight, you wouldn't be so likely to feel bad." Ugh.
