possible to feel fatter even though you haven't gained much?

I only gained like 2 or 3 pounds and i am trying to get my butt back in gear...i haven't been working out as much so is it possible to feel fatter like as fat as i was before because i might have actually been loosing inches with the weight? I know this might sound confusing but i don't know how else to word it!


thanks

could be psychological

I know what you mean. I feel this way when I haven't worked out in a while.

Especially if I have been eating too many carbs or too much sodium...it makes me puffy. :grumble:

Get moving again and you'll feel better! :drinker:

I personally feel fat until I see myself thinner in a picture. I totally see myself different in the mirror than I really look. It's quite a strange feeling. I actually think I look better in the mirror. Then when I look at a picture of me, I get all dismayed! I feel like: wow.......I look like THAT?! lol It's kind of motivating though.

I feel fat after I eat greasy food even though I haven't really gained any weight. It's more like I'm hyper aware of the fat I still need to lose.
