Shmoo you are doing really great. Look at your weight loss. 48lb in 3 months that's great.

Maybe that guy is looking at you because he's thinking how good you look.

lol thanx clydegirl! All the gals he hangs around with tend to be (without stereotyping) really thin, petite and pretty, so sumhow i dont think hes staring cos he cant get over my beauty!! hehe:D
but neways i dont even know why i like him this much, and i wont even tell my friends bout it cos i really dont want him to find out i like him! so its good to have sum one else's perspective on it.
shmoooooooooooo

The thighs chafing, and that the looks from guys I get are not because they think I'm pretty, but that I am disgusting looking. At least that's what I think they think.:(

Back fat - it just goes. You cen't spot reduce fat anyway, so it doesn't matter that you're not doing exercise that targets your back as such. Believe me, it goes just like the other bits of random fat.

Actually, one of the worst things is buying underwear. I never buy clothes anyway, but you always gota have undies. Went into M&S last week for a new bra, had to get their biggest one (36G!) and it was still too small. That's gota be the best thing of losing weight - seeing them shrink! Last time I lost weight I could fit both fists in one cup of my old bra while wearing it :)

Stretching your arms above your head, and your top follows up exposing your tummy to the entire world.
Also bending down to pick up something, feeling uncomfortable displaying your rear in front of passing (and giggling) people.

Well am glad to hear back fat just goes yp1, just wish it will go sooner rather than later! Been googling how to lose back fat, and it comes up lots of infor bout toning lower back etc. Yet my problem is the pad of fat on the upper bsck/ shoulder area. Am planning on saving money till easter and investing it in a personal trainer or someone who can teach you targeted exercises.

And thats xactly the first thing i think bout wen guys r staring at me too snuggle
shmooooooo

Pinklady - don't have a 'Pretty Woman' moment in those boutiques -go elsewhere when you get to your ideal weight - don't give those sods your custom or time. They will think it is thanks to them you lost the weight!

One of my friends went into one of those snooty botique places to look for jeans, she is about size 12 (American). She asked for a size 12 and they said they don't go over 10, and that the average size of their shopper is 4 or 6.

She flipped out on the lady, said she would never buy anything there even if they had her size, or as a gift for someone else. She makes great money and does plenty of shopping....their loss. I hate stuff like that, makes me crazy.

I would go in there try on everything, have them make you a pile of stuff to buy and then say..."oh now I'm not sure, maybe I'll come back later."

Does it have to be just one?
I hate the fact I have to buy from a special catalogue for clothes... and they assume that all bigger people want to dress like 80 year old women... and spending an absolute fortune for the privilege!

Worrying about breaking furniture when I sit down... I have broken garden chairs before... (Look in a furniture catalogue... a lot of them say suitable up to 16st... I won't be 16st for a long long time!!)
Oh and everything else everyone else has listed. :(

Homersmummy I love your picture of your budgie. Makes me smile every time I see it. Saw from your sig that he passed away so sorry. I'm a big fan of birds. We have a blue one called Rabbie. He looks a lot like him.

i hate not being able to breath when i bend down to tie up my trainers coz my stomach is so big...even just sitting gets me out of breath since putting on weight. And not being able to cross my legs anymore....really frustrating!

I hate laying down in the bathtub and have my fat belly peeking out above the water. (I always add bubbles so I don't have to see it. LOL)

I think i was whingeing on about how Evans no longer do the trendier Seven range? Well, apparently it is back! Got my eye on the fake leopard jacket!

Ruining jeans to soon because of wear-down on the inner thigh area.
