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...
- Struggling to tie up your shoe laces.
- Not having the energy to kick a football with your Son.
- People staring at you at a food court.
- People staring at you in general.
- Walking around with your wife and seeing the "How did that fat guy get a wife like that!" look in their eyes.
- Shopping in the king size section and still finding nothing to wear
- Shopping at shops called "Big Guys", "King Size Menswear" or "The Portly Gentleman"
- The Beach
- The Pool
- Going any place you need to wear Togs
- People yelling abuse at you randomly while you walk down the street
- How I feel about myself
- Getting on a plane and asking for the seat belt extension
- Not being able to lower your tray table on a plane
- Taking up 2 seats on a train
- Mirrors
- Back Steps
- Other fat people telling you it is OK to be fat!
- People saying - "You look good in that outfit" when I know that I really don't
- Doctors that tell me that I need to lose weight when I am seeing them about a cold or flu

- Booths at a restaurant
- Being too tired and lacking motivation to get out there and do something fun
