    Yes, I do.

    I try to treat myself, on those occasions, how I treat my teenage daughter when she is having down days.

    May seem silly, but I say to myself "Chin up, little flower. Head held high. You have a right to be here. See what you can contribute to others instead of focusing on how they perceive your looks. Onward."

    Try it out. Can't hurt. :flowerforyou:

    ps - but you don't have to call yourself "little flower" if that's too girly for a dude :wink:

    WHAT?????? I reject this, bregalad5!!! Because you are my MFP pal and I KNOW you are freakin awesome!!! Mirrors should beg you to be reflected in them!

    Yup, my hair, my skin, bloat - some days I feel like hiding under the table to be honest.

    :flowerforyou: I'm getting better, but I'm fighting the psychological barriers right now that have lead me to give up in the past. They came around faster this time...

    Yeah, I get those days. Heck, sometimes, just a bad hair day can make me feel so off. I try not to have too many of those days though because I don't want to project those feelings out, if that makes any sense.

    Absolutely. I just keep telling myself that I'm doing what I can to be the best I can be. I know it will get better and I'll feel better because I've been there before. And I look at a lot of the success stories on MFP. It helps. If they can get there so can I. And so can you. :flowerforyou:

    Yea, I used to have what I called a 'fat day'. A Fat Day isn't just about feeling big...it's about feeling bad all-around. Too fat, not attractive enough. Hair looks wrong, clothing doesn't fit right. I would feel defeated and sigh and tell myself I was having a Fat Day.

    Been years since I've had one. Therapy helped.

    All the time, but then I remember it is only temporary.

    pretty much every day. The littlest thing can set me off- I have really low self esteem. It sucks :(

    LOL I have those days every now and then too. I'll walk up one day like "mmm who's that skinny chick?" Then some days I walk past the mirror twice then change my clothes. Untill I gain a little bt of weight and then realize I was being Ridiculous.

    I have days where I feel great and days where I cannot look in the mirror. It happens.

    I've never been considered handsome(see profile pic). But I've learned to live with it. I'll probably never register "normal" on the BMI charts. I'd have to weigh 165 lbs. and I haven't been there since I was 15. But I have family that loves me and friends (acquaintances?) that tolerate me, so i'm doing okay. I bet there's people like that in your life, too. You're on the right track, being here on MFP. Keep keepin' on, and oh, by the way, happy Easter!

    some days I feel like a huge blob of living pudding, that's why I'm going to change my weight and feel better

    YEP! And today just so happens to be one of those days!! I'm hoping when I lose more weight that the "fat" feeling days will get less and less. How can I NOT feel fat when I have SO much to lose. But.....I will get there. It just takes time. And hopefully with that time I'll be able to feel better about myself as well.

    Oh my gosh... When I eat a bunch of CRAP food... I feel extra fat!! For whatever reason I feel like my stomach sticks out further and my thighs are extra big!!! That's when I eat better and workout harder!! Of I'm not sweating I'm not satisfied!! Keep pushing!!!
