Do you ever feel fat?

[Anonymous]

I’m clearing out my closet and I realised I never wear the same stuff as I used to because I feel fat 😭

It’s weird because I still wear the same size clothing but I *feel* bigger. I have been strength training the past three years so I think that might have something to do with it.

Anyways it’s a bad feeling because I love to dress up and look nice but I also feel like I can’t pull off anything 🥲

Well you can look at it any way you want to because that's your choice what it says about you is that you are not a selfish person whatever you spend your money on it's not you and maybe someday you need to try doing that

All the clothes that you wear are going to make you feel a certain way it's going to make you feel the same way you did when you first started wearing them if you don't want to feel fat no more go buy new clothes and put your skinny energy into those clothes it doesn't matter if your skin or fat but the energy that you have that day if it's a happy beautiful day put that energy into it because then every time you put those clothes on that's what you're going to feel

Do an experiment with yourself go to the store and pick out anything that makes you feel good and put them on keep them on for a few minutes walk around in the dressing room and feel what you feel

Take that feel-good moment and incorporate it into your life from the inside not what it makes you feel on the outside because that's how we judge ourselves because that's how every other person on this planet sees us is from the outside that's who they think we truly are
Every couple months I need an attitude adjustment I go buy a new pair of pants and pair of shoes new shirt and what that makes me feel in that moment is who I become from the inside out you say you feel fat in all the clothes that you have in your closet you need an attitude adjustment those clothes all have your energy in them from when you bought them a long time ago it's time for a new energy it's time to feel something new from the inside out

If you want change in your life and you don't know who you really are then start out by changing your clothes because then you can see a brand new you understand that feeling that you have only comes from the inside though incorporate that feeling understand it but remember that feeling because the new energy that you just put into those new clothes is who you become your wardrobe is who you were a new wardrobe because that's the only thing you can see is who you're going to become if that makes sense all change comes from within we don't understand that we can only see it from the outside so go get an attitude adjustment and change your life and don't wait so long to do it next time you will be amazed on what happens

This is awesome advice. Thank you!

[ohsheeT]

Well thank you I know it works for me So I believe it will work for you just as well

People tend to be their own worst critics. If it’s muscle mass that makes you feel bigger, just don’t worry about it. You seem to draw the attention of men, so you’re pulling off whatever you’ve been wearing whether it feels that way or not.

Realistically speaking, it is likely as you age that you‘ll have a bit more fat show up in places, but really, if you keep a feminine figure (waist narrower than hips), you’re going to have an attractive appearance and you’ll look good in a variety of fashion.

Thanks

Did someone make you feel like that. If yes they are not worth listening to. I remember a man who made me feel like that. Looking back he wasn't worth listening to he was stupid. I don't even remember his name.

[Asker]

Thanks!!!

[JustMeL120]

Just make sure you fight that though because you don't want to become anorexic. I nearly became anorexic but I fought it just in time. keep away from the media and dumb people.

[Asker]

It’s so tough being a women isn’t it! I miss being skinny…I’ve had my issues with eating when I was a teenager. But now I love food too much

[JustMeL120]

Being skinny isn't that good. I don't think men even like skinny women. Food is nice. Please don't be anorexic.

[Asker]

Yes I guess so

[Apple1996]

Yeah but that's cuz I just had 2 babies back to back so I'm holding onto baby weight

[Lynx122]

I've been able to do whatever I wanted for all my life and never gain weight but lately I have noticed I'm going from being in the lower part of the normal weight to the higher part and now I'm even starting to be in the slightly overweight category 25.2 bmi although I just ate when I weighed myself ^^ But I am conscious of it now. I want to exercise anyway and now I have to put even more importance on it and start watching how much I eat too. Usually I could never eat too much so this will be a new experience. But I'm optimistic I can adjust :)

[ChiTown33]

All the time. Part of it is I am a bit overweight.😂 according to the doctor i should be 179-210. I was 210 when i graduated high school i'm between 240-250 now. but part of it is I'm also 6'5". So I naturally weigh more than the avg. guy. And the size difference makes me feel bigger/fatter I always love going to the weight guesser at the amusement park because he's actually really accurate with most people but he always guesses me significantly lighter than I am. I think it's because I'm really gangly looking. So I think it gives me the appearance I'm skinnier than I actually am. I don't feel that way though.

[Billlewis]

I think there's a gigantic chasm between what society thinks is the ideal female figure versus what many -- if not most -- men prefer a woman's figure, weight and body fat content should be, and I guarantee you that this perception that women should be as thin as possible is utterly, completely ridiculous. To plus sized women everywhere -- please keep the faith and know that we love you just the way you are, and we don't want you to lose a single pound!

[Asker]

Thanks!!!

[Billlewis]

You're quite welcome:)

[najekim]

That's you looking at yourself with bias. Which isn't helpful. Try looking at yourself as how others see you. It'll be difficult at first but once you break into that mindset, your opinion of yourself will change to the better and be more realistic.

[Asker]

I really think I need help

[najekim]

I would suggest to sit down with your closet and most rusted friends and have them tell you how they honestly see you.

[Asker]

Thanks. I could try.

[Anonymous]

Lol *woman logic* I “feel” fat there fore I am fat. Although, I’ve been working out and it’s obviously it’s not fat. Yet I wear the same size as before… lol


You aren’t fat if you have logical statements contradicting how you feel. As a man, no I don’t feel fat unless I am fat, I’ve been fat, lost weight, gain some and lost more. I don’t go by feel, I go by fact, gets me a lot further in life and actionable results.

[Asker]

I really wish I was logical about it like you. I might have some kind of body dysmorphia.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol everyone has a degree of that. But some use that as an excuse while others work through it and don’t let it affect them, and seek help if need be.

[Asker]

Yeah I don’t know….

[art84]

I am 182 pounds and before I was close to 190 -200 pounds and felt fat in my 20's and early 30's. I am 5'7 and a dietrician told me that I should weigh 170 pounds so been trying to keep my weight down. I never had anyone tell me what my weight should be but took it as least someone cares about my appearance as I always think I don't look good in clothes that too loose like pants or baggy shirts.

[OlderAndWiser]

Why don't you post a picture and get some feedback?

[Asker]

Self conscious lol

[OlderAndWiser]

You could post a pic on a site like IMG and share the link with just a few people.

[Asker]

I guess so…

[TonyMetal___86]

I feel fat because i am fat 😂😂

Don't worry princess rapunzel, i'm sure that you ain't fat, by the way no matter how you look, you will always be a special sweet lady 😌

[Asker]

Aww thanks!!! You too!

[TonyMetal___86]

Thanks 😌

[Adam1978]

No I would never allow myself to become fat. I would start that hard workout routine well before I reach fat status. It's harder to motivate yourself when you are just normal.

[andreasderjuengere]

Yes, since recently. It's now 68 kg... the fattest I've been in my entire life.

[Asker]

How tall are you?

[andreasderjuengere]

171 cm. - It's not that I'm after a gym figure... I just don't like the (comparatively 'small') bulge at my belt line.

[Asker]

I see

[Sparkie460]

I've got a little bit of a belly so yeah I do. I did gain some weight but I eventually take it off. I'll gain 10 lbs then lose it. I'm still in the same size clothes

[exitseven]

I am feeling fat now. I have packed on the pounds over the last year and I trying to, lose weight now.

[slatyb]

Not so much anymore. I did when I was 25 pounds heavier.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I weighted myself today I weight 184 with clothes and shoes on so I think I would weight around 178 bare.

I'm overweight but I'm putting the hard work in the gym though.

[Pinay_ako]

I feel fat everyday

[Billlewis]

I'll bet you're twice as beautiful as those skinny no butt girls:)

[Pinay_ako]

@Billlewis aww wow thanks ☺️

[tfan1]

Everytime I look in the mirror and see my soda belly 😞💔 - I don’t drink alcoholic beverages so it’s not a beer belly 😛

[anon1903]

Not anymore. I feel my love handles are disappearing.

[JustMeL120]

I have live handles and I love it it makes my body look good.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Just after I eat. Luckily I've got a high metabolism. 😂

[Nigjt]

Yes but I work a lot an dont have much time to workout because of bills an buying my home.
God Bless

[collie22]

When I get BBQ I tend to over eat and I feel fat
