What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

not being able to play out side with my kids, not be able to stand for long period of time couldn't get a job because of my weight. my sex life don't excite any more. i have this feeling that people are talking behind my back about my weight plus i didn't feel like being outside that much.
