FUPA

...when your boyfriend is 6'' taller and about 20 lbs lighter (yet he still keeps a straight face while telling me that it's silly for me to go on a diet...like a champ)
...when you wear a B-cup but still have an awkward gap that needs to be pinned at your top blouse button
...when finding a bra that matches both your cup size AND your band size induces a public happy dance
...when your friends want to go to an onsen (public bath house) and the very thought sends chills down your spine

When the customer service at the change rooms say
"Just let me know and I can get you a bigger size!" without even offering a smaller size... ouch.
Or when they say "these jeans are meant for someone athletic" Double ouch.

-When hair no longer grows on your inner thighs from them rubbing together.
-I know all about the holes in the inner thigh of the jeans.
-When I tell my boyfriend I'm fat and he says he likes me big. I know he's being sweet, it still sucks.
-When someone yells "wide load" to you at the grocery store. Dang.
-When my fat clothes barely fit and I can't fit into 90% of my clothes (even underwear)

-When standing next to a pregnant woman, a child asks, "Are you pregnant, too?!"

-When you eat before going out for dinner so people won't know how much you really eat.

-And I'll definitely agree with having a ton a clothes, but 90% of them don't fit. I can't keep buying new clothes!

When putting on a pair of tight jeans becomes a personal challenge.

I also hate having to buy new jeans because the inner thighs have worn out from so much rubbing.

When I can't wear skirts EVER because of my thighs rubbing together...GOD I can't wait to be rid of these thighs!

Ok, I have this thing and it really bothers me...tell me I'm not the only one? I feel like my double chin is sort of choking me because whenever I tilt my head down, it feels like it's in the way. :?:

oh man. i remember all of this stuff!

When you grow up as an obese kid into an obsese 20-smth year old and finally realize that not getting male attention is NOT the norm for most straight women.

When you begin to panic because you have to buy new clothes and you don't know if you will find anything.

When you truly have to put your life on hold because you're too overweight for certain things.

When you sit down into a chair and the sides squeeze into your legs painfully.

When you realize your flight is on a tiny plane and worry whether you can fit into the tiny seats, then have to suck it in to buckle up and pray you won't have to go through the embarrassment of telling the attendant the seatbelt is too small for you. :(

When you have to go up a size in shoes just to get them to fit width wise, even if they become too large length wise.

OMG! Mean.

-When you can't even shop in 99% of clothes shops (thankful for internet and sewing skills!)
-When moving around somewhere like a restaurant involves major furniture rearrangement.
-When you instantly analyse seats before sitting: how wide is it? Does it have arm rests or not? How sturdy is it likely to be?
-When no one can get their arms around you when they hug you.
-When buffet restaurant tell you a maximum amount of time you are allowed to stay... wow, embarrassing!!!
xxxx

...when your elementary school students march up to you, pat your stomach, and inform you that you're much fatter than their previous English teacher >.<
...when you get awkward chafing on your inner thighs every time you wear pantyhose...
...when waiters in restaurants don't bring your bill after you finish your meal because they automatically assume that you'll order dessert...

When the takeaway knows your order.

Not happened to myself, but I know people who this does happen too. For me, if I'm ordering food they know I like plain though. So nothing on my burger, not even ketchup!
