I feel sooo fat!

I dont know maybe its because I've been eating like a cow today, maybe its cause I have 4 pounds of water weight that wasnt there on Friday, maybe it because...I dont know I just feel like crap! thanks for letting me vent Aliya

ALiya... I DO know what you mean. I look in the mirror sometimes and all I can see is the extra skin and it takes me to look at my clothes that I am wearing off to see the huge difference. It is very strange it's like I always have something in mind about when I will be happy with my progress, for example: Before it was to get below 200 lbs, then it was the get to a size 14, then it was to wear mediums...then when I got to size 12 I thought, "well clothes are bigger than they were a few years ago so it isn't a REAL 12". Now I am getting into 10's and Believe me at size 20 pre op a 10 would have been unimaginable...so it strange how it is always something... is anyone else like that? Anyway.... the point I wanted to make is that Aliya... you look great, are doing great and I think all of us feel "fat" even when our clothes and scales tell us otherwise! (((((Hug)))))

Stef,thanks for the feedback, as you know I can related to what your saying, at first I just wanted to lose 100 pounds to be 160, now I want 140...and a size 6, currently 180 and a size 10, will I ever be happy? lol I think I'm PMS, but I am truly not getting on the scale for a week, and I'm taking it back to basics! I dont care Holiday or no Holiday!

I'm PMSing right now so I feel your water weight. The scale is up a tad for me. Ended up ending my 7th month (Tuesday) a pound heavier than my weekly weigh-in last Friday. Oh well, no biggie! I think I'm going to me MSing here shortly as in tomorrow from da signs (signs, signs, everywhere a sign, clogging up the scenary...) so we'll see how soon the bloat passes. No mooing, Aliya! Just step away from the scale for a bit and all will be fine! Hugs, Kathy

Dear Aliya, I have a lot of days like that... I have a trick... I've got this picture of myself at 313lbs in a bathing suit on the beach. When I'm having a bad body image day, I take it out and go "DAMN"... talk about "Shamu". Think about the Journey... (To use a gambler's phrase), You're pasted the clubhouse turn and your in the home stretch. You're a winner. Love and Hugs... Happy Holidays, Kate Z

Your a hottie and dont you forget it! I have said I think I obessess more over my looks and weight now than I EVER did when I was heavy. If not for the recent boyfriend I would still be on that train. I dont think they really prepare you for the identity crisis that ensues! I know a girl who has undergone several plastic surgeries and is still not happy, that constant pursuit for perfection can be tireing. Just be you Aliya, you look great! Cary
