Fat days and thin days...

I hate the fact that I have lost 88 lbs. and still have "fat" days. While other days I feel as if I am looking pretty darn good. Why is it that one can be the same weight one day to the next but have totally diffrent feelings as to how they look and feel? Am I crazy? ~Chrissy

Speaking for myself, Chrissy, I think you're normal. I know that the "fat girl" is still inside me, and that she'll never go away, so there are days when I FEEL different at the same - sometimes a lower! - weight! Bette

That stinks. I still think I am crazy. ~Chrissy

Chrissy, you are not crazy. or if you are then I am too. There are days I feel so good and some when I "KNOW" I'm just as fat as last year. But it's just our make up. Even before I became fat - when I weighed 145 pounds I always thought of myself as fat. So it is something inside of us. But we can't let it get to us. We have to know better. when that little voice tries to tell us that we must tell it to be quite and not listen to it. Good Luck. You are beautiful. And don't let that other feeling tell you otherwise!!!! Koukla

I can understand what you feel sometimes... There are days that I say wow I look so much smaller and I have a neck now... And there are days that I feel fatter than ever... It seems to me that its what I eat that day... And when I make bad choices I feel fat... lol Magaly

Hi Chrissy, make some copy's of your before picture and put them on your mirrors. Its all about preception girl! Take care!

Thank you everyone... You are all totally right. I need keep things in prospective. Julio~ You Rock! ~Chrissy

From somebody who's having a FAT day,rightnow- I don't think you're crazy!!! I'm sitting here in a size small Tee and size 8 jeans and I feel like a cow today, no kidding. I feel really bad about myself TODAY. Tomorrow, I'll probably be fine, but TODAY- UGH- I just feel like the OLD me. Not sure why or what to do about it. But, I guess I just try to recognize that I should be proud of where I am and the feeling will pass. (for all the good that does) Hang in there. We're with you. Hugs, Lisa C

Dr Aranow says to remember- he operates on our stomach not our head. We still have the same (dysfunctional) brain we had preop. Besides- it's a normal female thing even my flipping bone thin size 0 friend has "fat" days. I tell her to stuff it usually...no sympathy here LOL! There are days I look and say "damn woman you look gaaa-ooood" and others I say "all this work and I am still a fat a**" Normal female behavior. When was the last time you heard a guy say "honey do these pants make my thighs look flabby?" yeah. uh huh.

AMEN! ~Chrissy
