I just feel fat today. No particular reason - I haven't gained, or binged, or anything like that. I'm not even over my calorie goal. But I just feel like a big gross blob.

Did you ever have a day like that?

    Yes, but on those days I try to do something a little more active to counteract the feeling. Look at what you've accomplished thus far and don't be afraid to pat yourself on the back for it.

    I get like that....sometimes I look in the mirror and think I look great and other times I still see the 200+ version of me...annoying. I usually end up going for an extra walk when I feel gross.

    I've felt that way all day today but I think its because today was my non workout day, so I've just sat around the house with my son. Also I'm in the middle of TOM so that certainly doesn't help :(

    The more weight I lose, the more conscious I am of the fat I still have to lose.

    Hi I'm Amber and I am also new to MFP but I have been on a diet for almost a month and I have lost 24lbs. I started off weight 200lbs. and I am now 176 but I know I have a long way to go but my question is how long does it take to reach your goal weight:D

    I feel the same way! I have lost 56 pounds so far and every time I look in the mirror...I see thighs that need to shape up and a stomach pouch that needs a tummy tuck! I didn't notice things like that when I weighed 220 pounds!

    I felt this way all day yesterday, even after a huge loss on the scale and a decent loss in inches. I think TOM has something to do with it for me, as someone else mentioned. I must have stood in front of the mirror for, well, way longer than I want to admit, wishing away my fat parts. The good news is, as long as I'm eating right and working out this is usually a temporary feeling. I woke up this morning, rolled out of bed and caught my own eye in the mirror. ;-) I still have a ways to go, and I'm working on accepting that days of feeling good and days of feeling fat are just part of the journey. I hope you've got your "skinny goggles" on today and that you're feeling better!
