- being held back careerwise because of my weight. My VP is this 120 lb, 5'8" health nut that is constantly on a diet (she is one of those people who eats a slice of cheese pizza then comments on how she pigged out) and I know that being fat is her biggest fear, so Im sure it has influenced her perception of my abilities.

- worrying about fitting into booths

- being embarrassed and having to buytwo seats at the airport.

1. Not researching air travel providers to make sure I will only have to buy one seat
2. Shopping with girl friends and looking at more than just the handbags, socks, and jewelry
3. Fitting in things like booths, arms on chairs, seatbelts in the back of cars, fair rides, picnic benches, one couch cushion, life
4. No longer having to worry about if I am being passed over for opportunities because of my weight

My inhibitions! :carrot:

All of your reasons touched my heart and put a lump in my throat. Thank you for posting all of them. My list would include all of them and maybe a few more.

Avoiding all photos like the plague.

I know I posted once, but I have been doing a lot of ssoul searching lately and i trly hope to get rid of this feeling of "not being good enough" (for just about anything) because of my weight.

If I am in fact not good enough for something let me because it is because I am ...untrained, or lack the talent needed, but I hope I won't always automatically feel it is because of my weight.

Looking forward to getting rid of my CPAP machine! :-)

I didn't realize other people did this....

Looking forward to comfortably sitting in restaurant booths!

Making sure the chair with the arms is not lifting off the ground as I stand up.

See... I want to sit on chairs... Not wear them as *** guards when I stand back up you know...

Oh my gosh - NO KIDDING! I agree 100%

I would like to say goodbye to my extra chins, thankyouverymuch.

I love that you GET me on this! :hug:

I'd like to say goodbye to getting winded by going upstairs.

Like others ..goodbye to being bigger than my husband

Goodbye to being the fat mom at my kids school

Goodbye to the comment "you'd be so beautiful if you could just lose weight"

Goodbye to plus size shopping

Goodbye to being the fat friend

I hear you on the fat friend. I went to the bar with my attractive petite best friend last night. A real reminder of how far I have to go!
