When you do that snort-snuffle thing when you lay on your back to read because your neck and chest fat converge to slightly smother you (yeah, that was a big sign for me).

When the sides of your bra aren't visable between the fat folds.

When you are used to using your stomach as a mini shelf! OK forget the mini part.

When people ask you if youre okay cause youre "breathing heavily" lmao
When you dont want to "make love" with the lights on anymore
When you sit down on the couch and put a pillow or something on your lap to cover
When your belly pops further than your boobs.
When you wear nothing but black
When you break a sweat and youve only walked a short distance
when youre scared of getting on a swing lol (it happens to me)
When your eyes start looking small cause your face is too "chubby" lol

when you have to inspect every piece of wooden or plastic furniture to make sure it will hold you

when your belly touches the steering wheel (hey my car is little, it wouldnt happen in an suv!)

when you have to wait until a few people sit down at the picnic table before you will sit.... because the other side likes to jump up (totally happened to me :( i was sooo embarrased)

when you can pull your side fat into your bra to create extra cleavage! hahaha

When you're 'dunlapped': your stomach 'dunlapped' over your belt! (I'm country, yall! lol)
When you hate any mentioning of your weight, good or bad.
When you have lots of clothes in your closet, but almost nothing that fits!

i can definitely relate to being the one not being hit on when i'm around my friends :\

when you have to put one knee on the floor to tie your shoelaces
when you do a few exercises and you find it hard to get up off the floor and feel knackered
when you see pictures of you with others and you look bigger than what you thought

When none of your summer shorts fit and you refuse to spend money on new pairs!

Haha all my jeans are like this! gah, I have no pants.

When you refuse to go clothes shopping because you just don't want to know what size you are now.

When you go to a family or friends cookout and they are sitting in them little plastic chairs and you know your butt is too wide and you have to make up excuses that you want to stand.

When you can't find your belly button! :lol:
When necklaces become shorter because your neck gets bigger! :o

great thread! I totally connect with just about all of these!!!


how bout when you realize you have 2 stomachs due to the constrictions of your pants cutting your one huge stomach in half but you refuse to go up a size or two!

For me, it was pictures. That was the day I decided to do something about it even though I always knew I was kinda fat.
Seeing yourself as double the size of your friends (although I admit, some are tiny) just made me feel like wanting to throw up. I used to like my body in pictures, and the weight gain didn't feel gradual to me, after seeing those pictures, I was shocked and scared.

Thigh rubbing! That was a big one for me! I also refused to go shopping at places that did not carry my size. I resented them because I thought that I "wasnt actually that big"... but when no one carried my size, I had to own up..

When you need a bigger jeans size before you've even had chance to wear out the inside leg on your current pair. (On the plus side, saves on buying smaller clothes if you manage to shift some weight, yay!.)

When you realise you're more than twice the weight of your (admittedly underweight) partner.
