Does anyone feel like they are the "fatest" one in your family?



Recommended Posts

I am absolutely the largest person in my family and my husband is the largest in his. Sometimes I feel like we don't belong, though it's all in my head because they look at us and just see us. (We have both been big since very early childhood.) At my SIL house, my husband and I essentially have to take turns sitting down because they only have one chair that is not 'iffy'! (they buy everything at Ikea so it's hit and miss. Lately its all MISS!) Hopefully not for long!!

It's not that I just feel that way.. It's fact. I've always been the fattest by far....Weird thing is now that I'm losing so fast I'm afraid that I'll get thinner than my younger sister, I'll call her sister number 1. There are four of us and she was always the second smallest.. sister number 2 recently lost a lot of weight and got smaller than sister number 1 and now with me losing, I don't want my sister number 1 to be left behind. I'm only 10 pounds heavier than her now and I think it will be really uncomfortable for both of us if I got thinner than her.

I live in a different state and sister number2 says sister1 has been losing a bit lately. I just don't want to come back and be smaller than her.. I'd love for us all to get smaller together.

I am by far the fattest in my family. My dad and brother have never been overweight a day in their lives. My mom has been overweight, but probably 180 max. Her frame is a lot smaller than mine, but she's definitely not obese.

All my friends are thin, same with co-workers. I pretty much always feel (am) the fattest in the room. Can't wait for that to go away!!!

My oldest goes to a high school on the pricier side of town. Every mom spends her day at the club "playing tennis" (aka drinking martinis),"working out" with her "personal trainer" (aka getting a massage), or doing volunteer "work" (aka lunching with friends). I am the only one that does not show up at school with a perfectly even spray tan, in a tennis skirt or a the perfect yoga outfit and/or heels.

I am definitely the fat mom.

I cannot WAIT for school to start in September. My Mexican/Italian heritage is SURE to beat their tan in a can and while I still might not be their size, I have no doubt that I will be much closer. Right now they are very nice to me for the most part, but you can definitely tell they think fat is contagious.

My back to school wardrobe is going to rock!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
