You first realized you got fat? I remember knowing I was gaining weight, but still didn't consider myself fat. I just wore looser clothes, no biggie, right?
But the minute I tried to put on some thigh-highs and they wouldn't go past my knees, THAT'S when I knew. I was devastated! I had never had a scale in my home, so I had no idea I had gained that much weight. And then it was all downhill from there.
I had to start buying larger clothes. Several sizes larger. And then a few years later, I had to buy even bigger clothes! Even my "fat clothes" didn't fit anymore! Eventually I had to go to the doctor and I was shocked to find out I weighed 200 pounds! That's when I started REALLY looking at my body, and when I finally opened my eyes I could see the fat everywhere...my knees, my back, my arms, my face. I knew I was fat in the tummy, but refused to see it anywhere else. But when your boobs START underneath your arm pits, well...THERE'S YOUR SIGN!

Like you I didn't "see" my fat ... one day after my last kid and hubby wanted to get me an outfit for summer, I had to tell him to get 22W, that's when I KNEW I was fat....*sigh*

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
