3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - When did your weight become challenging

Omg! All of your posts made me realize how much we all have in common.

I, too, have always had that "I like you mentally, but not physically" conversation---probably more times than is appropriate, and I have had men treat me in very inappropriate ways. I have I noticed how much harder the weight is, when I was carrying about 4-6 grocery bags up my stairs, and I got a bit off balance, and almost fell backwards. It was like my legs were having a hard time carrying my weight, plus the 20lbs or so more. This makes me really worry about being pregnant...I absolutely MUST get below a certain weight if I want to have children. I don't think my body could handle gaining another 30-40lbs.

When I hit 300lbs, I had to have a seat belt extender.

I went from wearing 2x t-shirts normally, to having to get 4x and 5x shirts---with the possibility that the 4x could shrink too much during washing. I lost weight and got into a 1x male shirt for the first time!!! Now, I am back up into the 4x-5x range, and feeling shameful about it.

The bathtub thing! Ha, it is always chillier in the back. But I do find it embarrassing when the water sloshes around as I getting out. Makes me feel big.

I realize that what I experience now with my significant increase in weight is that I feel weird about seeing people I went to school with, or past loves, etc. I also realize that my weight makes me feel insecure, and that is stops me from showing all of the other things I am good at. I feel that my achievements or talents get overshadowed by my weight.

You all give me a lot of support and help to keep me on track, and I really, really appreciate that. :hug::hug::hug:
