Losing weight is hard.

Watching what you eat is hard. Being fat is hard. Hating yourself is hard. Assuming other people hate you is hard. Feeling you don't deserve to take up space is hard. Constantly monitoring that you're clothes are falling in all the right spots to protect your true identity as a fat person from other people is hard. Lying to yourself that other people don't notice is hard. Avoiding all activities that have to do with water is hard. Feeling ashamed as you go through the checkout because you're not happy with the choices you've made is hard. Constantly worrying about what you're going to eat next is hard. Eating food in front of other people is hard. Feeling your body jiggle when you exercise or walk down the street is hard. Getting cracks in your feet from the pressure of your weight is hard. Knowing that you are at a higher risk for disease and early death is hard. Only being able to shop at certain stores and paying twice as much for clothes is hard. Having an open and honest conversation with your best friend who is trying their damnedest to understand but still not getting it is hard. Knowing that people think you lack self-control and that you're lazy and that it's simply mathematics is hard. Wearing sleeves in the summer is hard. Having to wear a uniform at work that you don't feel confident in because you're self-conscious about your body is hard. Having to share the backseat of a car with three people is hard. Being too embarrassed to go to the doctor or not being taken seriously by a medical professional is hard. Not feeling desirable or wanted is hard. Feeling you have to monitor how you hold your body at all times even in your own home is hard. Feeling your body isn't capable of doing strong things like lifting and exercise is hard. Having your thighs burn from chub rub when you do try to exercise or if you forget to apply deodorant when you wear a dress is hard. Feeling like you can't look good in a simple t-shirt and jeans is hard. Dreading walking up stairs or breathing too heavy is hard. Going to the chip aisle and craving none of it but knowing you need to have it is hard. Feeling like you don't crave food but you have to eat is hard. Feeling you come from a genetic destiny that you can't fight is hard. Seeing your parents and knowing you could be the same or worse is hard. Assuming your life will get worse and not better is hard. Feeling out of control of your own future is hard. Seeing other fat people and having compassion for them but not for yourself is hard. Seeing other fat people and hating them because you hate yourself is hard. Random strangers giving you unsolicited weight loss advice is hard.
