My lowest weight was 229, but I keep fluctuating and plateauing. I don’t need advice, I just need to say that I feel really fat and gross today. I’m doing an extended fast hopefully I’ll feel better. Anyone else feel like this? Vent away, it’s a judge-free zone 🖤

Oh yes. Progress doesn’t feel fast enough sometimes when you see the same number or one pound higher on the scale the next day. I feel like I’m constantly working toward this ideal image of myself but barely budging toward it.

Answer

Yeah, for me, getting dressed can be rough some days. I’ve got that cool c-section/insulin belly that’s pretty hard to dress. Getting dressed for dates in particular gives me a ton of anxiety, even though my spouse is lovely and complementary. I can’t turn off my own body anxiety by just willing it away.

The extended fasts help me a lot. I get bad headaches which is not fun, but that mentally charged negative body focus goes away and I think about other stuff. Even in the days that follow, I feel differently in my body even though it hasn’t visibly changed.
