Things that suck about being fat

I saw an old post of Shelly's which inspired me to make my own list so here it is:

- Having to drive around for "diva parking" because walking across the parking lot is tiring

- Being looked at funny for being interested in things that are very active (marathons, playing sports, etc.)

- Going shopping with friends and not being able to try on the cute clothes

- When people ask for a booth and you aren't sure you can fit

- Going to concerts and not being able to fit into the cute concert tees

- Weighing at the Dr. office and seeing them move that little metal weight over one more notch

- Being limited to three clothing stores.

- Airplane bathrooms. Enough said.

- Tray tables on planes and sitting in the middle seat (flying coach in general)

- People always saying, "You have such a pretty face."

- Those desks with attached chairs at University

- Not fitting on roller coasters and amusement rides

- Feeling like my family is disappointed in how bad I let myself get

- Worrying when I hear a creak in a chair

- Old-fashioned movie theater seats and stadium seating

- Summer clothing (sleeveless, short, revealing, definitely not fat-friendly)

- Never getting a piggy back ride or being swept off my feet


Even with just an overall loss of 49 lbs (36 since surgery) I can feel a difference in some of these things. I want to get away from them all. I never want to go back.

I want to ALWAYS remember.
