I do tend to believe that almost all my problems are either causes or consequences of my weight. If I do get rid of it all, that will surely be tested; but I'm lucky in that I don't suffer much from depression - I already like my life.
Of course I'm so overweight that losing it will open a lot of possibilities. Diving, skiing, skydiving, car racing, even going for long walks isn't feasible at the moment.
Clothes-wise, I stopped being able to buy interesting clothes when I passed a 36" waist, and as I got bigger I stopped putting any effort into clothes at all: what was the point, when I would never look in the mirror and be pleased with the result? And, especially when I'm losing weight, why replace clothes that fit me now, when I don't intend to let them fit me for long?
I long ago stopped being sensitive about my weight, partly because I knew I couldn't go into a gym or pool giving a fuck what anyone there thought of my size. It's not often tested though - friends don't make fat jokes about someone as fat as I am, unless they're Spencer (which is why Spencer is awesome).
