I confess that it's getting on my nerves going to the track now because each day there is some little chick that shows up with her too cute tight outfit and jogs by like she's floating .... ugh ... now that I wrote that, it's kinda mean ... she could be trying to maintain like I will hopefully be doing one day. But it felt good to say because right now I don't want to see her

I confess that when I see the tiny little girls walking around in their high heels and their tiny little skirts and low cut shirts I sometimes hope they'll fall flat on their face while making their walk through the club.
Now...how's THAT for catty??? LMFAO

Thanks for starting this thread! Here are my secret confessions:
- I hate the fact that my husband is thin and can eat whatever he wants. I admit, I am jealous of him.
- It breaks my heart to see overweight kids, no one should have to go through this, especially in childhood.
- I am afraid that when I do reach my goal I will still constantly worry about how I look and if this shirt shows my tummy roll, etc.
- I am scared to death to pass on my bad eating habits to my kids.
- I constantly feel guilty that I am not losing the weight "fast enough".
- I punish myself with food, I eat until I feel sick and uncomfortable.
- I never feel sexy.
- I do not accept compliments because I am not proud of myself.
- I hate that when shopping for a swimsuit a size 14 is the largest they had in misses. It fit, but when did a size 16 become only Plus-Sized?
Wow, I can't believe I wrote some of these. It does feel liberating to get them off my chest and out in public. It's like my dirty little secrets are gone!!

(So I'm hopping in, I'm not quite 30, but I feel more comfortable poking around this forum than the 20s.)
Here are my confessions:
I have a best friend who has recently lost about 90 lbs and is currently in training for a marathon. I love her, but I hate how she can seemingly claim that she is the inspiration for any healthy choices I (or anyone else make).
My husband drags me down hardcore. When we were first married, we were both super active and running, etc. But the second we got married he turned into super sloth sitting on the couch and behind a computer desk machine. And it drives me absolutely batty that he used to be so encouraging/active/into fitness and 7 years later he's so not. I wish I could prod him off his rear, but he's got to do it when he's ready. And sometimes I feel that's an excuse for me not to do things.
I feel like a hypocrite when it comes to locally sourced/organics. When I'm cooking for other people it's 100% local and organic. When we cook for ourselves, it's so much easier to hit the grocery store with poor selections across the street than the farmer's market that's a 20 minute drive away.
The vet recently told me my dog was about 5-10 lbs overweight. Now, he's a big dog (~80lbs) so it's not as bad as if he were a chihuahua or something, but it makes me terrified I'm going to inflict my food/exercise issues onto future children.
I'm way more active in my head. In my head, I'm an awesome mountain climbing, marathon running, kayaking, camping, outdoorsy fool, hiking. In my actual day to day life, that is nowhere near any description of me.

Great thread!
I'm a lot skinnier in my head than in reality. When I'm in a good mood, I feel sexy and irresistible and beautiful, and then I look at pictures and think OMG, that's not me!
I get really annoyed with people who talk about how they are struggling soooo much to lose and how they are soooo fat and ugly and everything, and then you check their weight and they weigh less than my goal weight is.
Being social will always be more important to be than being slim. I despise people who can never let their hair down and just relax and have a good time, and I'm scared I will become one of them if I obsess too much.

Confession's good for the soul, right? Here goes:
1. I feel better when I go to a waterpark and I'm not the biggest one there.
2. I've sometime's wished "baby-fat" on skinny-without-trying people when they got pregnant.
3. My goal is 145...sometimes I really want to weigh 125 just to see what's it's like to have someone tell me I've gotten too thin instead of too fat.
4. I've seriously considered having a breast reduction.

I'm on the opposite end of that spectrum. I have said for years that if I ever lost the weight and my boobs went w/ it I was going to get an enlargement. We'll see...so far the boobs are still here and still fabulous. LMFAO

My mother had a breast reduction; she says it was the best time off and money she ever spent. She wasn't overly huge for her size- 36DD- but she was "undertall". They caused her backaches and, how she tells it, they flipped and flopped all over the place. She's down to a 36C. She had it done about 10 years ago and she had (and still has) better boobs than me.

Hi guys,
I have to say that I got tears in my eyes reading all of these confessions because (1) many of them are things that I feel or would confess and (2) it kills me that being overweight and struggling with eating disorders (binging, purging, starving, overexercising, emotional eating, etc.) is so commonplace in women--it literally is a disease. That so many of us are struggling and having such issues with this is heartbreaking.
Here are my confessions:
(1) I have struggled with eating disorders from age 16, and have been hospitalized for anorexia/bulimia at one point. When I was starving myself and down to a size 4, a dietician told me that I would one day be obese if I continued with my disordered behavior, but I didn't believe her at the time. I wish I had, because it is true now.
(2) I stopped my destructive and disordered behaviors when I decided that I was ready to start a family, and my children are still my biggest motivator for never starving myself, throwing up my food, taking diet pills, etc. I am proud that I no longer do those things, but it breaks my heart that I still struggle with my weight.
(3) Even though I don't do destructive things anymore to lose weight, I still secretly wish that I could do them.
(4) I was lucky not to have died from my eating disorder, and just took care of a patient who did die from her behaviors. I can't get her out of my mind, and my heart aches for her family. We did everything we could to save her, but she died anyway.
(5) I am terrified that my daughter will struggle with an eating disorder, and the pain that will cause her is heartbreaking to me.
(6) God made me in this body for a reason, and to abuse it by starving, overeating, not taking care of my health, or taking pills to lose weight are all things that destroy the beatiful person that God made me to be. I do believe this, but don't always remember it.
(7) I am jealous of women who seem to effortlessly maintain a healthy weight, and sometime wish that my struggles with weight and healthy eating were not so physically and mentally debilitating.
(8) My mother has never been above 130 pounds her entire life and I believe she still has an eating disorder. I am afraid that some of the comments she makes might encourage my daughter to one day do destructive things to maintain a healthy weight.
(9) I can't believe that my husband loves me no matter what weight I am, but I do feel blessed beyond belief that he does. He has loved me at 250 pounds, 130 pounds and everything in between. He took care of me and watched as I literally wasted away, and he still thinks that I am sexy and beautiful. Even when he says that, sometimes I don't really believe it.

I agree -- it really is heartbreaking, and honestly I'm just TIRED of it. I'm getting tears in my eyes reading this, but I'm also just really really MAD.
I'm mad that all of us beautiful, strong, intelligent women have wasted so much of our lives worrying about our weight.
I'm mad that I reached my goal weight and ran a half marathon and now, 3 years later, I have to lose a big chunk of that weight again and there's no way I could run that far.
I'm mad that I have to write down everything I eat in order to stay in control.
I'm mad that a part of me wants to just starve for a few weeks to get off some weight, when I'm too smart for that.
Most of all, though, I'm mad about all the more important things we could all be doing instead of counting calories and worrying about weight.

I confess that one of the reasons I am losing weight is to make my ex eat his heart out...and the B%&*@ he left me for too! LOL
I confess that I am obsessed with the scale and I will weigh myself when I wake up and then again after I go to the bathroom - I know...Gross (but it's a confession thread)
I confess that I am looking forward to shooting down the guys that I like now who think we make great friends and they only like sticks when they realize how awesome I am once I become one of those sticks! LOL

I just can't help it...this is so liberating!!
I confess that I hope when my overweight daughter sees how good I look and feel she will want to try to lose weight too
I confess that when my skinny friends tell me about the troubles in their lives I feel kind of happy about it becuase it makes me realize they are not so perfect (that sounds horrid)
I worry that even when I do get to my goal I will not think I am good/thin/pretty enough to really be happy because I have felt this way for so long...and that is very depressing
I am upset because nobody can tell I have lost weight, or if they can, they are not saying anything. I know it is only 20 lbs, but I can see that my face is thinner than it was.
I worry I will sabotage my journey because I am scared to be thin - I hide behind my fat a lot
