What does 376 lbs feel like?

No one can really describe what it feels like to be a certain # of pounds.   But a huge number of today's population will never have any idea what it could possibly be like. SO they couldn't have compassion for someone in that situation.

Society today pretends that it can put itself in someone else's shoes, but there is some situations where it can't possibly be done.  Unfortunately I have been in the "Fat person's shoes"   and those shoes suck!!  So i thought i would take a minute to help put it into perspective.

376 pounds feel :
  • Depressing
  • Lonely
  • Guilty
  • PAINFUL

When you are 376 pounds you:
  • Can't sit on the floor without worrying about the struggle to stand up again.
  • Can't walk very far, without getting winded.
  • Can't run after your child that has gotten away from you.
  • Can't ride a bike without worrying what other people are saying/thinking as you ride past.
  • Can't play with your children.
  • Can't talk to someone without wondering if they are actually listening to you, or watching your chin fat wobble around. 
  • Can't look in the mirror without crying.
  • Can't shower without worrying about getting clean.
  • Can't go through the day without worrying about what your weight is doing to your health. 

I will add more to this list as I think of it.
