Do you ever refer to your self as fat, sumo, whale, etc

I knew I was fat at my heaviest but never would refer to myself as fat while talking to others.  Now I find myself calling myself all kinds of fat nicknames.  That is so crazy because I know I should not be speaking down to myself.  When I have been talking with my hubby lately I have been referring to myself as sumo. When someone is talking about how fat they are I say please do not make me lift up this shirt and show you some real fat.  What is wrong with me I have never treated myself this horrible.  I see myself fatter now than ever before it seems.  All the clothes I buy or try on I always feel like they are not going to fit me. Then I put them on and they fit which in the back of my mind I knew they would or I would not have bought them. 

Chile please.  My typical description for myself preWLS IS ‘two cheeseburgers and a bucket of chicken away from 400lbs’

 

But then, I’ve always used ‘different’ terms when describing myself….. LOL!!!

Nope! At least not seriously! I will joke around with my friends, but I never seriously call myself fat. I used to, but my husband gets so mad at me so I stopped. You're beautiful girl, just remember that. No one can ever take away what God gave you so look at the positives and keep your head up. You've lost lots of weight so congrats to you on that!

Thanks I have to train myself to speak postitive about my image which is from GOD.

Not now.  Before I use to say that I looked like Mama Cass from the Mama's and the Papa's!!!  (Carnie Wilson's Mother)  Of course, I was trying to be funny, but that is as far as it went.  I never said anything more derogatory than that and NOW...never!  The power of the tongue girl!!!!!  Speak only blessings over yourself. 

That is so true some days I just feel like I am the biggest person in the world other days I am so excited about my progress.  LORD  knows I am grateful I wish I could just see the difference in myself like other people do. 

I am fat.  I made peace with that "F" word long ago.  I've only been more fat or less fat throughout my life. 

Never have I compared myself to an animal or any large "thing".   Fat is just another body type.  Some days I feel huge, but I'm a huge human being.  Other days I feel light, and I'm a light human being.  Always, I am deserrving of love and respect from myself and others.   

I find myself viewing obese people negatively in a way I never did before.  This includes my self image on my "feeling very fat" days.  I think its all part of this transition. 

There is conflict in having always loved myself as is.  Yet, I'm working desparetely to relieve myself from my obesity.  To love onself even obese and to despise obesity in oneself is its own paradox.  This is just one more head issue we need to get past. 

I think that you do it because your mind just hasnt caught  up with your physical.......you cant believe how slim you have become

I do the same thing but not to that extent.  I think it's a way to mentally pump the breaks since things are happening so fast.  PLUS I don't want to get to thinking I'm further along than I actually am.  Keeping myself in check I guess.  I was (and am) in complete denial about being able to wear an XL top cause my scale barely moves.  I'm like how is this happening?  So I went to the shoestore for the true test (zip up knee boots)  They fit, I surrendered.  Just roll with it girl.   It will take months for your eyes to catch up.  Pink told me that back in the summer and when I look at pics from that time I see she was totally right.

Before WLS I would say yea I'm fat now I don't say but I sure do think it. I still see myself as fat, even when I put on the size 4 dress and it fits I still can't seem to make my mind get up with my physical body.  My daughter always refers to herself as fat. She can't break the habit. The physically changes happen quickly but the mind seems to be much harder to convince that this is a real true change.
