Why is it the more weight I lose the fatter I feel?

Thanks everyone, it definitely helps to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way!

I think the comments I get from others don't help either. Although my husband and friends are very supportive and make positive comments about the way I look, I get a lot of negativity from my work colleagues (who I obviously spend a lot of time with!). I work with 4 other women and I think their own weight battles have an effect on how they treat others. One is also losing weight (with weight watchers) and is very competitive about it - constantly asking me how much I've lost this week so she can compare or criticising the way I am doing things. Another is in denial about her own weight and sits there stuffing her face with junk and takes the mickey if you won't join her. Another is quite catty about people losing weight and makes comments like "Well if you have SUPPOSEDLY lost 2 stone..." as though she can't see any difference at all. Luckily the 4th colleague isn't as bad, but she just tends to keep quiet.

I think I need to surround myself with more positivity!

Yeah, negative people suck! I think I have finally gotten to a place where I have very few negative people around me, so I guess I am very blessed there, but I've also been there in the past, so I can relate for sure!

I have the same problem, sometimes. It's mostly when I eat a lot of sodium or simple carbs and I get a little bloated, I start freaking out and think that I'm obese or somethimg.

Then, I will see pictures of myself a few days later, and be like, "Dude, I look super thin!" It's really weird. Mostly because when I was "fat", I would think I looked fine until I saw pictures of myself and I'd think "I really need to lose a lot of weight!"

The mind is an odd thing..
