I don't snore, and I have never gotten stuck behind one the rolling things, I can bend and put my hands flat on the floor I can keep up a fast pace, but What I can't wait for is the thigh thing and rubbing out the insides of my pants, being able to tuck my shirt in and not have the belly thing and not having people say oh you such a pretty face if only you would lose weight.

[mariamherrera]

hate when peopel say that!

[ParadiseFalls]

I hate how I'm embarrassed to be seen with my big friends in fear of drawing attention to the Flock o' Fatties.

[neonwildflower]

I don't have any big friends, so someday I'd love to not stand out like a sore thumb as athe "fat friend."

[sarcruze]

Paradise...I am the same way. I don't like to hang out with more then more other fat person besides myself at a time.lol. Becos I think people are saying oh! here comes the fatties.lol.

What I think is funny about being fat is when your family thinks its ok to snuggle up on u because u r soft and squishy. They lean all of their weight on me when I am already feeling squished by my own self.

You guys were cracking me up and making me sad. I remember all of these things so well. I have to tell you though if you have lots of weight to lose like I did/still have some to lose, your tummy may still "flap" when you jump up or run cause of the extra skin! Most everything else is wonderfully better though.

Please don't let any of those things you all mentioned stop you if at all possible from having a life and living it to the fullest. I allowed my weight and how awful I thought I looked and felt about myself stop me from living. I was alive but not living. Please carry on everyone and live like your life matters cause it really does. Don't let the outside world dictate to you what a "chubby person should be doing" Do what you like!

Hugs and blessings,
Annie

Same here!! I almost died when I read that. Especially when I am meeting new people, and they are all bigger, and it's like, "Oh man, here's another!" Or feeling embarassed when we all go out to lunch! Keep this one going, it's awesome! Laughter is the best medicine!

[melNco]

I love this thread!!!!!

Crossing my legs

Flying bymyself and not thinking I need to have someone beside me to "share" their space with me

The 'red face' after any sort of exercising

Not having to 'skooch' over to buckle the seatbelt

Getting to ride roller coaster's again (not just at Disney..lol)

Not needing the granny bathing suit

[mariamherrera]

LOL at all you you girls! this is why I made this thread i think laughter truly is the best medicine! I encourage every one to go back to the very beginning and read some of the older posts they are hilarious!

I can't belvie I forgot about the floor squeeking..LOl ugh I hate when that happens.. there is this tiny spot in front of my fridge that squeeks and your like shhh dont give it away that I'm here..LOL

yes yes and I hate beign the "fat" friends but it's true I'd rather be the fat friend that that flock of fatties heading this way and get all the moooing and and dog barking ugh! how embaressing!

I can definitely relate to a lot of these things.

* I don't even bother to wear pants anymore, it's that bad. I only wear long skirts, b/c when it comes down to it, I'd rather have an extra long front end of a skirt than to have the monstrosity that is my *** be revealed even more with jeans. Plus the thigh holes.

* Oh, and does anyone have "thigh rolls"? Have you ever watched someone's butt while they're walking and watched the "crease" line jump from cheek to cheek? Well I seem to have the crease line sometimes when I walk in MY THIGHS!!! AHH! I know you're probably thinking my jeans are too tight, but if they were any bigger, they'd fall right off my stomach/butt. I guess I just have extra large thighs maybe, I dunno Either way, it's so ugly.

* I also have smallish breasts for someone my size, so bra shopping is like a lesson in futility. My cup size is not made to cooperate with circumference. Bra extenders are annoying, and the bras that I own only more-or-less fit me because they've been slowly stretched to fit. And even then, they literally cut into my sides. I literally have sores from my bra. Now call me crazy, but I don't think clothes are supposed to HURT. :P

* I'm a college student, so I'd love to sit in those L-Shaped desks without having to prop a book on my chest to try to hide the fact that my stomach is sitting on top of the desk.

* On the same note, I hate having to pretend to call/text someone on my cell phone as an excuse to take a rest in the middle of my walk to the next class.

* Elevators. If possible, I try to dart into them and pray the doors close quickly so no one else gets on and has to share with a fat chick. And if that doesn't work, I always move to the back. There's nothing worse than standing in front of people that have to spend their elevator ride looking at my back/neck fat. Or wondering if the cable is going to snap. Or looking for that little plaque that displays the capacity/weight limit. *lol*

* Breaking stuff. I've broken a bed, a chair, a couch (well not the whole thing, but broken it enough that the footrest wouldn't fold back in), and a toilet seat. So embarrassing!

* Trying on a necklace without it turning into a choker.

* Not being able to reach into tight places because my arms/hands are too fat.

* Taking a bath, and actually getting the top half of my body wet/under water. *lol*

[MementoxMori]

I'm new here, and I found this board trying to find some information. I thought this thread was amazing!

I weigh 300, but for some reason.. I can still fit in to my 18s and 20s when it comes to my jeans. Now, a lot of it may be excess skin, because I have a lot of it lol but I don't feel like I weigh 300. My goal is to get down to 250, and I'm trying desperately to do it.

But, I'm looking forward to my thighs not rippling like waves.

Not having that ugly muffin top and the lower bulge you get when wearing jeans.

I wanna actually have ankles!

There's so much more, but I just wanna say how amazing all of you are and what inspirations you all are as well!

[Staci816]

Not feeling like Tommy Boy (fat guy in a little coat) when trying on clothes...they usually fit until they reach either my chubby upper arms or belly.

I also can't wait to go to the amusement park and not worry about having to fit my butt into the rides! The freedom that will bring will be AMAZING!

[mariamherrera]
