When you can't wear a skirt in summer because of how irritated your thighs will be later :(

@h4a5r: I go straight to the necklaces! :D Though, for being a big girl, I am quite lucky that I am usually be able to find some pretty sweaters in my size (as I wear sweaters a couple size smaller than the trousers size).

When you can no longer cross your legs and keep them crossed without the help of your hands.

when your hips ache!

Oh god yes! This always gets me. I end up wearing 3/4 leggings but they wear out pretty fast from my legs rubbing together.. plus wearing leggings constantly in the summer is pretty warm. I'm looking forward to that not being a concern! :)

When you lay down and can feel your body (fat) spreading across the bed.

When you are getting intimate in the dark and your significant other thinks he is rubbing the "girls" when he is rubbing your stomach! Talk about a turnoff! (And yes, this happened to me!)

1. the wearing out your jeans in embarressing places thing

2. You have stretch marks and you haven't been pregnant

3. even 'wide calf' boots are tough to get on

:/

Isn't that kind of low for him to be feeling around if that's what he's looking for?...

Lol... Well we were laying down and it was pitch black in the room, however the girls do sag quite a bit! Hoping they perk up as I lose weight! :-)

When salespeople in regular-sized clothing stores don't even say 'hi' anymore.

When you take up more than your seat when sitting on the bus.

When you're so self-conscious about your weight that you don't even want to eat in public.

When you look at old "fat" pictures of yourself and think you looked mighty good!

i went into a fancy dress shop on the strip in va beach one time with a few friends of mine (we were looking for ideas for bridesmaid dresses for a wedding)... and the lady at the counter was all snooty "i'm sorry, i don't think we have anything to interest you here, have you tried (some store down the strip that catered to plus size)? they might be more to your liking"....

I CAN'T WAIT to go back into that store when i make it to goal and be like julia roberts in pretty woman "big mistake. big!"

Konfyoozed...what store was that? The strip is 1o minutes away from me...

when you do go back, I hope its the same women xD

Ugh, yeah, leggins/pantyhose in summer are evil! I just don't wear skirts in summer outside my house, unless I know I am going to a place where I won't be walking too much.


There is not such thing as wide calf boots in my country:(. The two pairs I own have been made to measure, as I am also unable to get proper shoes in stores, since I am a 42-43 in Uruguayan sizes (which would make it an 8 or 9 in the UK)...and stores usually carry up to size 40 (maybe 41, but they are not wide at all). So it's either men's shoes or spending a lot of money on getting shoes made to measure :(

Guess I could also add to the list: When people in stores say to you "We don't have this in YOUR size" *grumbles*

When you're terrified you'll be asked to buy an extra plane ticket! Every time I get on a plane I panic for weeks beforehand.

Oh yes! :o


God, this is one of my biggest fears. I don't know if I could ever recover. :fr:

I won't even go into a lot of stores because I'm so afraid that they won't have anything close to my size and the salespeople are so rude when you are too heavy for the clothes. I don't understand why. What do they care? I know I've walked by stores that sell very small sizes but have cute shoes in the front display, but I know I can't go in to get them. In the past, I have actually taken advantage of being out shopping with thinner friends/family by using them as a "cover" to have a reason to go in without getting bounced by a salesgirl.

Also, I hate it when someone asks where I got a cute top if it came from a plus size store, so I'll lie and say I don't know.

Anyway -

When you dread being offered free food because you both don't feel comfortable with people seeing/knowing that you ate it and hate having to deal with the onslaught of pressure when you try to say no. (Now I also just don't want to eat it.)

When you dodge invitations to do super fun things with people you miss hanging out with because you're ashamed of how much weight that you've put on since the last time they saw you.

When someone criticizes the weight/habits of someone that you know is the exact same weight as you are. (This recently happened to me. My coworker told me her weight and it was the same as mine. However, I feel like my stomach is bigger.)

When you make plans to start living your "real life" when you finally get some of the weight off.

When you are so scared to that someone will find out how much you REALLY weigh...

(PS: I am not sure if this is fun or sad, I guess it's fun because we are having fun lol but it is kinda of sad because I can relate to a lot of these situations).
