I keep think about my op coming up 28th June, and if im doing the right thing, I know I am just have to keep telling my self.

So I have decided to type what I think the worst things about Fat are even though I do laugh at them, I have to, they are funny or maybe I am just sick. I laugh at every thing.

right here it goes:-

My legs rubbing together when I wear a skirt, I hate this soooooo much thank good for Evans rubbing shorts, I couldnt have got through my wedding with out these!!

Wipeing my butt, my arms are to short to do it from behind, so have to go front ways.:faint: so wrong I know.

going on hoilday and pretending to get the table down on the plane, even though it wants to spring back up.

pubilc toilets , god there is never any room in them, the tampax box always digs in my leg, and god help me if I have my time of month and need to change anything, there is just no room.:phanvan

going to health spa and the dressing gowns not fitting, I went and brought a white one so i was the same as my mates, and didnt have to worry about my boobs being on show :omg: do they not think fat people want a massage too!

getting picked up by firends with 2 door car, what is wrong with people :rolleyes:everyone should have 4 door. I hate trying to wedge my butt pass the front seat into the back, at 22 stone this is hard.

goin to the doctors, why is everything down to my weight!!

parties, having to go and get plate of food, I hate this thinking everyone is watching, I get my husband to go for me, or just eat his lol:clap2:

who let the dog out snog. I refuse to dance to this as feel people look at me lol:clap2:

If you have any let me know, its sad but funny:D

Hi Helen, one of the worst things for me wen i was fat was the summer, any heat at all made me sweat real bad, also there wasnt many summer clothes that looked nice on me so i tended to cover up alot and hide away.

Oh, for me it's the clothes shopping! I hate only being able to shop in the 'fat' shops.... evans, Ann Harvey BB at H&M and the fat section of New Look! That's it folks.... no where else does my size!

I want to go to River Island and pick up a top or skirt of a pair of jeans..... I want to fit into ANYTHING from Jane Norman..... I could go on and on!

yeah !! i agree, clothes was also a big problem 4 me, it was so expensive buying the larger sizes, i can now go in all the regular shops i even go in matalan now i love it, im still swollen from a recent tummy tuck but i bought a pair of size 14 track suit bottoms, and that felt good after wearing a size 28 b4 banding, my band has made such a big impact on my life in all aspects, and i would do it all again with no regrets.

Ah yes, the curse of shopping and desperate to be walking into Top Shop, River Island, Jane Norman, Pilot, Zara, the list could go on and on! (The irony being, I would much rather shop in Monsoon and New Look - both which I can now do) . I could also get onto the issue about sizing. What is wrong with these companies?

How come not everything fits the same, when they are apparently the same size. So often you see on Ebay the memorable words of 'Says size 18 but I would suggest it's more 16.' All to the same measurements. It is so confusing at times when 18 varies between 44 to 46! *OK stepping off soap box now!*

Although, there are times when in some bizarre hapchance, you fit into a size 16, despite the fact you are an 18/20. Oh how I loved that!

I think we should start a petition to get all designers, manufacturers, retail shops, to cut decent clothes!* OK now I'm really stepping off my soapbox now *

Being in open changing rooms, with skinny girls saying 'do I look fat in this?'

The pain in my knees, the swelling of the feet, those are things that I will never miss. Which is such a good things.

I can't remember who mentioned the rubbing shorts, I've been lucky in that area, but my best friend suffers sometimes, I shall have to let her know about them!

Do you the best thing about this, it is a way of us to deal with those pent up frustrations, because we all know that we won't have them to moan about it for much longer; but I think it is so important to acknowledge them, it will only assist our motivation! Great thread Helen!

Sx

Tell you what is even worst than going into the changing rooms with all those skinny girls.... Its when I try something on that I though looks real nice and not too 'fat looking' on me, I turn to my husband for a 2nd opionion and ask him " Do I look fat in this?", and he replied " The dress dont make you look fat, ITS YOUR FAT THAT MAKES YOU LOOK FAT!!!

omg this is such a funny thread, helen i know exactly what u mean. Ive never heard of rubbing shorts (must admitt that gave me a good giggle)

Saggij even worse is goin into a changing room trying on a top and not (for the life of me) could i get the top of!! Had to call one of the girls to cut it of, omg Mortafied!!! :omg:

lipgloss :cheer2:

Hi: I am from North Vancouver, BC Canada and I have been "lurking" reading this funny link. My DH was born in England and my family is from England. As a result, I have been in England many times visiting and I must say finding large sizes was an experience to say the least. I always thought there were no large people in the UK. Living in BC, it is just a stone throw away to the USA and I have always purchased my clothes down there. Just wanted to say hi. Doddie

I love this thread!

The worst thing was the pain! But the shopping came a very close second. Having to buy your clothes in a catalogue because it is not as embarrassing, then finding out the stuff you order don't fit so you have to wait weeks more before you get the new batch!

Walking into a shop and the saleslady looking you up and down as if to say "we don't keep nothing your size!"...so rude! I was shopping for size 10 mum! Actually been told in Pilot once that I would not find anything my size by a salesgirl!

All the jokes people make about fat people in front of you! Then say...but not you love! Yeah right!!

I could keep going all night!

Well done Helen, did me as good as punching a punching bag for 10 minutes!

Being asked when your baby is due. that happened to me twice in two days you should have seen the look on there faces when i said no love thats not a baby thats just fat and they start back tracking about them not realising as i carry all the fat in the front of my tummy wow tell me something i dont know. iwonder if they would say god you so skinny when was the last time you ate something.

Due to be banded 31st july 2007 and have only told my hubby, kids and my best mate.

hi hellen how did the op go hope all is well let us soon to be banded know wot to expect hunny take care you

Buying a new top, or outfit, you know THE one that's going to make you look gorgeous. Getting dressed up in it and going out feeling pretty darn good. Then getting the photos back and realising you look like a huge oaf compared to everyone else and you really are fat and disgusting and were deluding yourself that you didnt look fat and disgusting.

another one is when your best mate whom you havent seen for ages says

"you ve put a bit of weight on"

and they look fantastic.

its enough to make you stuff out.

28 days till surgery

My worst was my graduation ball in January, we got the photos there and then and I looked like 'honey who blew up the woman' next to my friends, i kept making jokes about it as my two freinds were lined in front of me all size 10 of them and I was saying it's behind you !!!

Anyway not long to go before i'm banded 16th july ye ha.....

Lainy

Then you will be the envy of everyone at the next ball.

Not long now.

Why do we make fun at ourselves? when it hurts so much!
