Default Fat suit feeling?

Lately I've been feeling frustrated because when I look down at my midsection, I feel like I'm wearing a fat suit and have this layer all over.. I really just want to "take off" the suit already! I wish there were a soap that would wash it away...

Hmmmm....same here. I am so tired of feeling "stuffed". I look down and I feel every inch of body that clothes is touching and it irritates me cause I know the clothes feels tight because of how fat I am. I just want to drain out my fat. I look down and my belly sticks out further than my boobs. WTH? Really? My waistband in my jeans now digs into my belly and I hate it. And with this humidity...ugh. It makes my clothes feel like saran wrap. Don't get me started. LOL.

Yup. I feel that way pretty much everyday and its funny because I feel the same now at an 8 that I felt at a tight 16. I always thought "10, that's it. Its the perfect size, if I could be a 10...I'd be happy." Well, now I'm a little smaller than that and I still feel HUGE and its frustrating. Why I can't I be a "normal" size.lol.

i feel the same way as you redliss. i was a 16/18 and am now a 10. i always thought that would be my ideal size, but not now. i have the same shape, just smaller. i still have belly rolls and a muffin top. i can't wait to get rid of it. my original goal was 155, then 150, but i really think it is going to have to be atleast 140 to get the shape i want. and just when i thought this weight loss journey was close to being over.

Same here! Since I have been losing weight, all of my fat areas have become super jiggly and embarrassing (as if being this weight wasn't enough embarrassment for one lifetime!). I can't stand it, and sometimes I grab my belly in the mirror and say, "You're outta here, m***** f*****! And it works!

Lol! Exactly! Where did this stomach come from anyways?!!! Lol! I feel like my stomach continues to move even after the rest of my body has stopped! Weight training is the only thing I have found that is helping!

I feel that way about my arms and thighs especially.I've always had giant arms, even when i was 140 in college (of course, then too, i felt fat). But now my arms feel like giant hams and when i look at pictures or in the mirror, all i see are my giant ham-arms. i can't go to a gym right now, and i should do weight training on my own, but i'm not. I totally sympathize.

I love being about to read everyone's comments and know that you all get it. I feel the SAME WAY! It is nice to have a place to take about these feelings and not have to explain them, because you already get it! Thanks for that.

asharksrevenge- I'm definitely going to do that now haha! I'm so glad someone else tells their body what's what.

Sometimes I'll idly look at my thighs at work and think about how nice it would be to just unzip something or press a button or wash it off. I'm proud of the changes I feel though, so sometimes I am happy that I can't just wish it away because then I feel truly accomplished.

I'm also the same. It's exceptionally frustrating because I've worked out so so much, and lost over 70lbs and am quite toned, but there's STILL a big layer of fat over my stomach in particular. It's so annoying to feel my abs underneath but look in the mirror and see nowt but fat. :_(
