I'm having a fat day!

Anyone else experience feelings like this? I mean hell i am still fat I still have about 40 lbs left to lose but for the past two days I have been feeling so very self concious. I think it is all the hormones I have been taking to fix my cycles, and to top it off I start my fertility meds today. (keep me in your prayers that this works) lol lol I have not gained any weight or anything and my clothes are continuing to get loose on me. Dont know what it is. Denise

I am the same way. I feel fatter some days than I did when I was fat. I am constantly asking my family if I look fat. I look in the mirror and still see the old me. I don't know what it is. It may be our head playing games with us, as it has done for so many years. Hope it helps to know you are not alone and that these are probably normal feelings considering I know a lot of people going through this phase. Hopefully it will pass. You're doing great. Keep up the good work. 40 pounds gone is just around the corner! Kitsy 253/237/147/127

Thanks crystal. you look great your self. I think I just have too many hormones pumping through my body right now. lol lol Kitsy thanks for you reply it does help knowing that others have the same feelings. Denise

Hey, girl. First off, you should not be having a fat day. You look great. You looked so good Monday night. You got the prettiest skin and skin color. It is the hormones making you have a fat day. When they get all out of wack they can have the biggest impact on us in so many ways. I know because I have been there and had to take this med and that med to try and regulate them. Poor dear hubby, John, during that time. Good thing he loves me as much as he does or he would have thrown me away during all that mess. Glad he hung onto me LOL. Once you start your fertility meds, maybe everything will settle down some. And hopefully you will have some news to share with us soon. And when that little bundle gets here, you have to share him or her with his Auntie Christine and Auntie Melissa LOL. Melissa

Denise, I find myself still very self concious. I always have been and it is because of my weight. For some reason I still think of myself as being as fat as I was before surgery. When I look in the mirror I know some of it is gone but I still think that way. Especially since the scales aren't moving as much lately. Becky
