I just wonder if anyone else has had this problem.

Up untill about 3 weeks ago, I thought I looked fairly thin. However, now, I feel like I look fat. I've not gained weight and my clothes fit the same. But, when I look in the mirror or at my waist line....I just see fat. I wear size 4 jeans, and size 10/12 dress. I've always been bigger on the top. I used to wear size 20 jeans. What is wrong with me. I feel like my gut is huge. I hate feeling like this.:001_tongue:

WOW - I don't know that there is anything wrong with you. My mom, who used to be very heavy, always said that you remain heavy in your mind than in your body -- perhaps you're just seeing the "fat" you instead of the new improved you -- maybe trying on a pair of size 20 jeans and seeing how HUGE they are on you might help you see the new thin you again?

Just a thought ... and congratulations on going from a size 20 to a 4 ... amazing!

I felt fat today. Why? I was 115 on the scale earlier in the week but today is my official weigh in day and I was up to 116.

Lame!

But it's the way we are wired, I think. All my never been fat girl friends all hate their bodies. Even the XS ones.

It's called Body Dysmorphia and most of us experience it. It takes a long time to go away.
