Still have a FAT HEAD!!?

MichelleM · 05-11-2004, 12:28 PM

I went shopping today and still I feel like a VERY LARGE person. (although I knwo Im not).

Im hoping my head catches up with my body soon. I still feel fat and flabby and jiggly.....Im sure I still am in areas of my body but Im wondering if my head can really tell the 'truth" anymore.

This is very odd.

Im almost 43 yrs old. I KNOW that I do not have my old 20 yr old flat bod now and Ive accepted the changes this older body is going thru but stilll its frustrating to still feel like a fat HOG WOMAN!

Can anyone relate??

I think we all feel fat from time to time. In my case I know it is my age and knowing I'll never be nice and firm like I used to be. You sound a lot like me.

I can totally relate.
Although I can't tell you if your head will ever get straight with what your body really is.

In my own personal experience I still felt "avg to thin" even though I was very overweight (190lbs on 5'2 small boned frame)- it took a long time realize I was overweight. I used to get shocked if I caught my reflection in glass in malls that were like mirrors and such. (do the double-take- gosh... I'm that big? then go right back in denial LOL)

Then when I got out of denial I finally got my head straight with my body and realized I was overweight and needed to lose weight.

Then when I lost the weight for a long time I didn't feel thinner as I lost weight and lost weight- but when I finally reached goal after awhile I DID finally feel thinner- but it took awhile (and took buying smaller sized clothes/progression pictures to prove to myself how much I'd lost, etc.)

Then I quit smoking and gained weight and now I feel like a fat cow. I'm not even close to how heavy I was originally- yet I FEEL even more overweight now than I did then! (part of this might be because I got rid of my big clothes and bought smaller clothes and now I don't fit into a darn thing LOL) Yet when I as this weight before when I was losing weight- I felt so much thinner.
Man, your head can really mess with you. *sigh* I'm just working on getting thin again so my head can get straight with my body again. LOL
