I sat down one day and began to write a list of all those feelings I experienced with being fat. Some are physical and some are emotional.

Tired - run down
Out of control w/life
Depressed
Ashamed
Embarrassed
Inferior to others
Fat and bloated
Unhealthy
Self-pity
Low self-esteem
Low self-worth
Stiff legs
Painful joints
Irritable
Constipation
Feeling left out due to isolation
Feeling unattractive
Unclean - sweaty
Self-conscious
Nausea or stomach pain
Chafing

Sound familiar anyone? Are there any I missed? Now, I need to come up with something just the opposite for each of these. Anyone want to help me?

You missed upset, tearful, angry, acne.

Some opposites are:-

Happy
Being One of the crowd
Feeling attractive
Clean and fresh
Self confident

Is someone going to carry on?

I'm trying to go for possitive things right now but I will try this.
Frustrated: at my physical limitations because of my weight.
Self concious: Because my clothes no longer look as good on me.
Angry: This is one of the few things in my life and mind I have less control over.
Tired: Overloading on food makes you feel to heavy and sleepy to move much.

On the other hand I am doing a lot of inner work right now and everyday I am finding something to be joyful over. I am trying feedback..for every negative thought I think of two positives! :D

Hey there,
I'm going to say it another way:
Looking forward to putting on panty hose without becoming a contortionist.
Looking forward to tying my shoes without a big belly in the way.
Looking forward to taking a walk without being out of breath!!!!
Good luck to us all!

PS: Looking forward to crossing my legs!!!
