    The thing is you're not fat at all. Just remember that you lost the weight of a Border Collie

    Yeah, sometimes I feel like that....it sucks. I've dropped 22lbs, and am paying more attention to what I look like.

    Maybe that's what is happening, you are noticing YOU more. Which in my opinion can't be all that bad!

    I've lost 12 so far and I still sometimes feel just as fat as when I started, even though my clothes fit better.

    Do you feel this way a lot? I do understand. I have what is called body dysmorphic disorder. No matter what others see and how much I achieve, I feel like I am huge, I see myself as huge. It takes a lot of work to get around this but this is a chronic issue for me and others like me. If this is a one time only thing, you might be right, a cold/flu thing, hormones...

    It's strange, but one day I feel huge, the next, super skinny. I've been like this my whole life. :[

    I have "fat" days, for sure. I find if I'm in a generally sucky mood then I tend to feel sucky about myself as well, regardless of how much I actually way or how i look.

    I do all the time. My mum says I could be a skeleton and still think I was fat. I have about 2days a month where I feel good about myself

    Often.

    I'm still confident in my appearance since I'm in better shape than the average person, even in my more-fit-than-average city, but every time I look in the mirror I just grab at the extra portions and think "Gross."

    I've lost more than 30 pounds, have put on way more muscle and am really thin. Even so it's not what I've lost that I see, of course, but that which remains!

    I know exactly how you feel! I've lost 11 lbs and feel fatter than when I started. I guess it's just that I'm finally realizing that I can look better than I do now. I used to think I was pretty decent if not only slightly overweight before I started this weight loss journey. I was in denial. Thank god I finally realize that I need to get in shape.

    I feel so impatient! I just wanna be skinny already! sigh.

    I always feel big.... Even when my legs have a good day. :P .... Perhaps it's because I AM big. :D
