I feel fat.

I realize that even after losing over 60 pounds in 7 months, I'm not going to feel "skinny." I have at least another 60 pounds to go and I also realize that even skinny chicks have their fat days. So, I'm just going to wallow a bit in my fat day.

 

Yesterday my feet were killing me. I have had MUCH less trouble with my feet as I have lost weight. At the height of my weight gain, I could barely get through a normal day of work in crocs or tennis shoes. Now, I am careful with the shoes I wear, but I can wear "normal" shoes to work and I work out regularly. My feet ache some, but I think that is normal. However, yesterday, it was like I was back up to 285. :cool:

 

They hurt throughout the day. At the end of the workday, we received an email that the elevators were not functioning. We were told that we could use the service elevator, but there is only one. The service elevator is the slowest form of transportation on the planet under normal circumstances. For it to service all 22 floors, it would take me an hour to get to the lobby from the 18th floor! I had to get to Jazzercise, so I took the stairs. I have to say that it wasn't as bad as in the past when we have had to do fire drills, so that's a plus. But my legs were a little jello-ish at Jazzercise.

 

My feet hurt so bad at class, I feel like I was at 50-60%. I don't think walking the stairs was the cause since they hurt throughout the day, but I'm sure it didn't help. I was SO internally cranky during that class. I was picking fights with people in my head to the point I had to physically shake it. [sidebar: Do you all do that? I often times find myself picking fights or having arguments in my head. For instance, if I know that I'm going to tell my boss something he isn't going to like, I have the worst case scenario conversation in my head. It drives me crazy! I'm getting better about not doing that, but I certainly did it last night!]

 

I went home and did all the things with my feet that I am supposed to do. They feel a lot better today and I tried to pick out a pair of comfortable shoes. No Jazzercise today, but I'm planning to workout at lunch. I think I will choose the ellypical or the bike so I can limit impact on my feet. Then, because I am a glutton for punishment, I plan to walk down the stairs at the end of the workday. That is my punishment for wallowing in my fatness. :laugh:

 

Oh well, tomorrow is another day!!

Its hard, I know. There are days where I wake up feeling 60 (I'm not!) and 300 lbs (I'm not!). I feel like its just part of the program -- some days are just simply better than others.

There is some great peppermint foot cream by Bath and Body Works. When I'm feeling tired and my feet ache I massage that in at night and put some little footies over. Smoother feet and feel so good!

I'm with you all the way! Hope you feel "lighter" today!

I have problems with my feet as well, I am sitting here now at my desk with them on an ice pack. I freeze water in an empty water bottle and then roll them around under my feet to help with inflammation. Maybe that would help you too.

Hey kiddo I have lost 110 pounds and I am having a fat day too! I really think it is my head!! I have thought of myself as fat for so long it is really hard to change the way I think.

And the way I feel.

I am so much thinner now and I am still having a fat day.

So Three Cheers to The FAT DAY. Maybe tomorrow will feel different, I hope so. I do not think there is anything bad with having a FAT DAY once in a while. Hope your feet feel better soon and Best wishes. imaluckydog
