i can tell from your hat-wearin' responses that by and large that you guys gain your weight in your arses, and that your faces stay pretty much the same...
but i gain my weight above the waist, and i get huge cheeks, and so when i put on my favorite baseball cap, my black one with the little nike swoosh on it, just like tiger wears, all you can see is kitti-cheeks, and little kitti-dimples.
i also look like a total pin-head, with a little teensy head, and great humongous boobs and shoulders and belly.
i don't own any big floppy hats, although i do have my garden hat to keep out the sun, and i guess it could flop... that one's not too bad.
i just love to wear my baseball cap all winter long, it's my 'hat', but i look kinda stupid in it right now.
give me another 20 pounds... (that's 9 pounds in each cheek... http://boards.dietwatch.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)

36. So I can stop hiding from everyone who knew me when I was a success at this weight battle.
37. So I stop being one of those women on "What NOT to Wear" because I have nothing that fits anymore and I refuse to buy fat clothes again.
38. So booze doesn't attract me as way to keep from feeling like such a failure, or feeling much of anything for that matter.
39. So I can wake up every day with that great "Anything is possible" feeling that shows up all on its own when I'm doing things right.

Yep, that is exactly what I mean. Even if I had eaten 1500 calories a day for 10 days running and worked out every one of those days and PLANNED to get ice cream as a treat I could not eat it in front of other people (except my family) because I was always worried that they'd be thinking that same stuff. Of course it was none of thier business and still is not...I just know I can order an ice cream cone now and the person at the counter does not act like I am some 5 dollar crack whore trying to score a fix.

CJ- #34....do you mean feeling self conscious being a "fat person" eating "fat food" in public and wondering what people are saying or thinking about you????
That's a good one, because I do that too. Both, in fact....I worry about what other people think about me eating a cookie or a piece of cake in public....obviously I don't need it...etc....
And...in all honesty the reason I worry about it is because I do that with others... Call me two faced, but if I see an obese person eating something fattening, I think to myself.."don't they realize how that looks?"...although I never say it out loud to others, I THINK it....
which is why lots of people, including myself become closet bingers.....

No reason is too silly
I'll start with some reasons of my own.
1. To never be held back from doing something because I feel self-conscious about being "the fat one".
2. To feel sexy when i'm naked in the dark.
3. So I can get rid of my "fat day" side of the closet!!!!
4. Cuz it's so incredibly healthy to do.
