50 Things I hate (hated) about being Fat! (in no particular order)

Just so I can remind myself and possibly others of how important it is to keep losing weight when you get a little discouraged. I look forward to people adding their own "things" to the list...

  1. Struggling to tie up your shoe laces.
  2. Not having the energy to kick a football with your Son.
  3. People staring at you at a food court.
  4. People staring at you in general.
  5. Walking around with your wife and seeing the "How did that fat guy get a wife like that!" look in their eyes.
  6. Shopping in the king size section and still finding nothing to wear
  7. Shopping at shops called "Big Guys", "King Size Menswear" or "The Portly Gentleman"
  8. The Beach
  9. The Pool
  10. Going any place you need to wear Togs
  11. People yelling abuse at you randomly while you walk down the street
