Comments on: Do you ever just feel FAT? http://ronisweigh.com/2008/07/do-you-ever-just-feel-fat.html If I did it, you can! 15 years of yo-yo dieting, OVER!

I am going through a bad phase - not because I am not on plan, but because I recently found out I have a thyroid problem, levels are high so it is not workng hard enough. I have been on meds for 3 weeks and I must say I feel fat every day. I can only say that I know I am doing what is right, I walk atleast 4 days a week sometimes more, and I am following my plan. (I do Jenny Craig with some meals on my own.) The other thing is that in April I changed to a new form of birth control, after being on the Pill for like 13 years (minus the time I was pregnant) I decided to get an IUD. (sorry if that was too much information - lol) I have put on like 8 lbs this year after I lost 45 last year, and it is so disheartening to me that I am feeling as though I have failed yet again at weight loss. I know I should not feel like this, I walked 7 miles for the first time in my life last week, and that was HUGE to me, I know I am doing well. I just have to give my system time to adjust to new Birth control and now having a thyroid problem. I just wanted to say thank you. I religiously follow your posts and you are a huge inspiration. Thanks for all that you do! Hi Roni – I had to read this post again.

Usually it's something like loss of control, sadness, or fear. Fat is only tissue, just like the table I'm propping my feet on, but boy, if any matter ever comes close to having a feeling, it would be fat. Thanks for sharing your journey!!

I know this post is from a few days ago, but I was looking back for one of your videos to watch and saw this one, and just had to comment. The thing is, I am up a few pounds, so I am fatter, but today, I made such good food choices, and even though it was hot, I went and worked out extra hard at Curves, and then I had a thing tonight at church, and I made a low-cal cake, and planned for it, but then someone brought a regular chocolate cake, and I also had not one, but two small pieces of it. It seems like more and more often I give in to this kind of thing. I feel fat tonight. Roni, I feel fat today!

I think that is a week out of routine. Whether it is a week or a few days...it makes anyone who is trying to lose weight, maintain, lead a healthy lifestyle, etc. feel fat...so here's to getting back on track with no regrets about enjoying life. love this post…just got back from vacation at the cottage – did as well as I wanted to…enjoyed but didn’t totally over indulge like the last several years (that was my goal) but I feel SOOOO fat right now.

I even had to try on some of my "skinny" jeans just to make sure I could get them on.

It's not always true, just mostly. I forgot about yoga, when I do yoga I manage to completely forget that I have 40+ pounds to lose and instead feel wonderful and free. So for me it isn't about when I feel fat it is about when I don't feel fat and remembering what I need to do to feel that way. It's easy to forget. Earlier today I posted that I always feel fat.

We all have our "Fat days" where we feel like we gained all the weight back overnight...but the truth is, we didn't. And we won't. So as long as we get back into gear after those indulgences, then ll is well...as you know!!! Umm…the answer would be…am I a woman???

The way I carry my excess weight makes me look pregnant. I don't think it would bother me as much if the weight was more disbursed. Unfortunately I feel that way all the time.
