I feel fat!

[dabro]

I don't know if I'm in the right area. but I used to weigh 170 now I weigh 205. I'm so ashamed of myself and I can't get it out of my head that I'm fat. I'm 5'8 and it's just so distastful to me to look at myself in the mirror. IDK what to do anymore.

Do you think you're depressed ? When we are feeling bad about ourselves or our situation in life, no matter how beautiful we really are, we see something thats not good enough. A dark mood causes dark images of ourselves. If you really are fat, then change your eating habits a little, like eat an extra piece of fruit instead of the usual snacks. Sometimes just feeling like your making a change can actually make you feel better and if you feel better then your attitude about yourself gets better too.

I weigh more than you & am shorter- I feel fine!

Dear Dabro,

I know how frustrated you must feel. I too have struggled with body image issues for my entire life, and now, due to a severe chronic illness, I'm down to 74lbs at a height of 5'. Prior to being so sick, used to weigh 130, and I thought I was fat... Now I would be grateful to gain some of that weight back, but the intensity of my illness inhibits that.


One thing you must learn (as I have) is that the Lord doesn't see us as a weight on a scale, and we should begin to envision ourselves in the same light that HE views us in...read passages like Matthew 10:30 when you feel down, because whether we can sense it or not, God made us as we were meant to be, and He doesn't make MISTAKES.

First things first -- go a bit easier on yourself. Self-forgiveness is really important. This does not mean to ignore the issue, though. Earlier advice in this thread is sound -- discipline, diet, exercise, but sometimes we just can't do it alone. Get a personal trainer on board with you, perhaps an appointment with a nutritionist. If your mind is part of the problem, so good counseling can work wonders. You're not in this alone -- there is a great deal of excellent help out there.

I'm thinking thats why they are here its called an *eating Disorder*If it were that simple a balanceddiet would be a simple thing, and so would exercise...see some people take eating to the exetreme and exercise....both ways not enough,and too much!!!!!!and we like not to callpoeple fat. if you can not be polite and encouraging please refrain from posting in this forum...thank you and number are never allowed....Thank you and God Bless!!!!!!!

Nice sharing.
If you feel that you are fat then you could eat balanced and could avoid all fast foods. But if you did any exercise with dieting then you could control your fatness.

Dabro, I'm the same height and used to be the same weight. How I lost some pounds, around 30, I changed my eating habit. I stopped eating out. I went from 85% of my meals being take out/fast food to 0%.

It took more time and energy to make my meals, but they were generally healthier and I ate less when I made less. If you drink sodas, try to cut them off completely and pick up the water. But be careful, if you are not happy with yourself, then you'll never be happy.

I took my healthier eating habits and destroyed it completely, because no matter how much I lost, it was never enough and I thought I was still fat. I ate less and less until I hardly ate at all. And when I ate, I hated myself. I fear getting big again.

My prayers are with you.
