Do you feel fat?
This morning I participated in a survey about whether you have any change in body image after losing a large amount of weight. My answer is: No. I still feel like a fat person. I have more energy. I can shop for smaller clothes. But I still feel fat. If I can avoid mirrors, my day goes OK. But if I see myself, I still see a fat person. I still walk like I'm fat. I still try to cover myself like I'm fat. While I really do have a way to go yet, I'm not so fat that I can't sit in a normal-sized chair. I guess maybe it's like that feeling you have if you've been wearing a ring or some other piece of jewelry for a long time—and then when you take it off it feels like it's still there. I don't really know.
Anyway, I have an appointment next week to discuss the emotional side of weight loss. In other words, why did I get this fat to begin with?
Most everything else is the same. I'm still doing the workout. I'm waiting for my book to arrive so I can begin that diet—The Rotation Diet. I signed up for a service called sparkpeople.com. It's free diet and fitness site. Pretty cool. Check it out.
So that's about it for today.
