“The Lack Of Mobility”: 30 People Explain What They Hate The Most About Being Overweight

feeling like ppl have less respect for u as a professional because "u can't even control what ur own body"

Being gaslit by medical professionals and being blamed for my weight when it’s not physically possible for me to be eating enough to weigh DOUBLE what I should for my tiny height of 5’2”. It wasn’t until I found a nurse who looked like me in terms of height and build to get the help I needed to start losing weight again once I was put on the right meds. I wasn’t being lazy and overeating. My hormones were so out of whack that my body wasn’t cooperating and I was on the wrong meds. It’s sad how much women esp plus size women are mistreated medically. We are more at risk for neglect.

It's the first thing people see and judge you before they even know you

not being able to walk long distances, being exhausted after climbing 10 steps, etc... the lack of mobility was so hard

it's getting warmer soon and that scares me so much, can't "hide" myself anymore

my toxic trait is to think that everything would be better if i were skinny

having a condition that isn't visible that causes weight gain but because no one can see it you're just seen as lazy. (pcos)

Having to make fat jokes about myself to stop other people doing it

the only clothes that fit and look good are astronomically expensive

eating around other people and feeling like you don’t deserve it

trying something on that you thought looked too big and it didn’t end up fitting

Taking pictures with friends. I hate seeing myself next to them.

I fear my side profile I don't look at it, I act like I only exist in 2D

people treating your friends so much differently than they treat you. it genuinely feels like nobody takes me seriously because my weight is the first thing they see

when i was fat the most sad thing that i thought was when i watched a show and there was the main couple, and then i thought "i will never have that kind of love i'm disgusting, i will never get married, i will never have the first kiss, or child"

Canceling hang outs bcs I dont want people too see me like that or staring in the mirror in disgust

Desperately wanting to lose weight but being crippled with fear, about what you will look like afterwards and not wanting people to perceive me while exercising.

what hurts me the most growing up fat and just being fat is comments made by people I thought genuinely loved me. Like family members etc.. like don’t you love me?? Don’t you think I’m pretty?

the world never lets you forget it,even if they don’t have bad intentions,they will mention it

Not being normal in other peoples eyes. Like my weight is the biggest (no pun intended) factor in deciding who I am as a person
