I usually thought that the worst thing about being fat is that people already know your "issues" even before you get to know them; I mean usually you need to be close to someone before you can share in their story, but mine is right there in my stomach, arms, and my intimidating height doesn’t help matters.
Standing at 6ft tall with a weight over a 120kg, my "issues" are very "obvious". They instantly know am out of control and anything else am good at is being negated.
Other things wrong about being fat
Going for shopping with friends or family and only picking up an earring or necklace as nothing else fits! (That’s why I hated shopping).
Being hot all the time and sweating like I was poured water on all the time (with all that sweat yet the fat won’t go away!)
Going to concerts or shows and not being able to fit in a T-shirt.
Narrow aisles in stores (God have mercy! I literally have to squeeze my fat to pass through)
Being limited to 1 clothing store, just for fuller figures...
People analyze your orders at the restaurant. Forget going to the ice ccxream bar because if eyes could kill...
Airplanes bathroom size! Enough said
Tray tables on the plane and sitting in the middle ... not funny
Entering the bank and it keeps screaming "only one person allowed"
Adding "Orobo" to your name before any other person does and you feel hurt... I did chubby Nelly
Having pictures taken and looking for the best angle that won’t depict the obvious
Painting my toes or buckling my sandals… phew!
Worrying about that sound on the chair ... sorry I would rather stand.
Sleeveless, short, revealing, definitely not fat-friendly.
Seatbelts at the back seats!
Seats at the cinemas!
Taxi charging higher than expected ... of course you can’t walk!
The fear of one day in my youth, I will be on medications even my grandparents at old age did not have to take.
Never getting a piggy back ride or being swept off my feet *sad face*
So I have also decided to feature other people's weight loss journey too, this stems from people sending me emails saying if they cannot do the CD, what other ways can they get to their ideal weight and of course I don’t intend to be on CD forever so I have to begin now to share healthy ways of living to prep me up for the days Cambridge diet is over.
Did you forget snoring?
ReplyDeleteSnoring is a very common complaint among the families with overweight people...
It is interesting the things an overweight person goes through that the average size or fit person has no clue about. I guess the problems associated with overweight is understated and, it makes the obese unknowingly but gradually extremely self conscious. With time an overweight can be diagnosed for not just the health aspect but psychological too. Hmmmm! I give thumbs up to Nelly and all who practice discipline and determination in deleting the darkness of obesity from their life.
