Fat ugly day

Hey! Anyone else have fat ugly days? This morning I woke up feeling fat. It was a feelign that i'd not had in a few years. I'm doing well at maintaining at the 167. I want to be at 150something. last year about this time I faded with excersize. i had been goign every morning to curves which sure doesn' t give you the work out that a gym does but it was helpful and did make me feel stronger firmer too. now if i get there 2 times a week i'm doing good. just don' thave it in me to get up and go. not tired just not into the excersize anymore. i dont like that. but each time i try to get up to go work out i dont make it. i even set my clothes out pack the bag put the sneakers out. still no go. work has been stressful that contributes to it big time. i still enjoy my job but sometimes wish i could get out and sell instead of sitting in house doing paperwork every day. they have gotten me an assistant! BUT the poor woman doesn' tstart until mid april. so until then i am trapped in house doin gthe stupid paperwork. i think that has me down big time. my job is to sell not sit. but that still brings me back to having a fat ugly day. today i pulled pants out that i'd not worn since last spring. i was terrified they would not fit! even though i was the same weight last year this time. i tried them on andthey fit fine just like last year but in my mind they seemed tighter. they didn't look good i could see each and every ripple, bluge, crease. poor self image. why now? arggggg its happening more and more over the past year. as i got to thepoint where i could eat more i stress more about gaining. maybe that is the key? i need to work at not only excersing more but also note what i am eating. my pouch still works good. if i eat my cereal in the morning to quickly it lets me know. i still have to take small bites and chew really well or it lets me know. can't stand dry meat oh boy the pouch lets me know on that realllly quick. but the pouch has turned traitor. the pouch will tolerate a small piece of birthday cake. everyone who works in an office knows that there are a wide sellection of birthday cakes almost every day. the pouch hates ice cream. i use to love it. off to work. blabed enough have a great day everyone!

actually i have had a few of them lately-so i pull out the fat pants- i'm not gaining-thank goodness-(just playing with the same few pounds ) but i FEEL fat...and that makes for uncomfortable when sitting all day long at my desk..... my pouch lets me eat alot that i shouldn't and i have to be very very conscious of portions...and yes it did let me eat a small piece of cake the other day- wow it felt good -smooth white cake- ouch!i'm a former chocoholic!!!!!!!

Pam, the only constant in life is change. We're changing. We are three years out - think of it this way, when a baby is born, is it reasonable to expect it to look, feel, act the same three years later? Bodies shift with time, no matter what. The work I have had on my abdomen is shifting, I've developed a roll of fat in the upper region even though I haven't gained any weight and I continue to work out regularly. I believe our bodies, like our minds, have memories and our fat cells remember how it was to be fat. I believe our bodies want to go back to what was comfortable for all those years - being fat. We have to swim against that tide every day and that fight is waged in the head - life changes, life choices. Put your energy into living life fully instead of wasting it on body image. One thing we can be sure of is that our bodies will shift and change and alter over time, no matter what we do. But our souls can soar. Be well my friend. M.

your killin me Maureen (teasing smile). gonna be dealing with the hanging skin AND hanging baby skin on top of that ROFL! YEP 7 months pregnant I am having one of those fat days every day. Gonna get worse. but seriously. yeah even before pregnancy. You just have that yuky bloaty feeling sometimes. Most likely cuz we are bloated somehow lol... shoot... my pouch tolerates every darn thing as long as its in moderation... wait then in moderation again ... then wait, then in moderation again... then wait, and in moderation again... joking but honestly eating a little bad stuff waiting then eating bad stuff later...is how people gain it back. I see myself sneaking it sometimes and catch myself before grabbing that sweet again. My pouch can tolerate a good amount of sugar at a time so I have to be careful. Hang in there... maybe tomorrow will be a skinny feeling day Elizabeth M
