Fat day

[BabyGrl]

Does anyone ever have a fat day? I am having some serious self image issues right now and it is driving me up the wall. I know I am not thin and a majority of the time I don't really care. I like food more than I like exercise. Been like that my whole life. Not too much of a deal. Sometimes though I just get into these funks that I can't get out of. Like tonight. I had a pretty good day. Better than it has been for awhile. Made plans to go out with some girlfriends tonight. I showered, got ready, did my hair and makeup, got dressed, looked in the mirror and burst into tears. I just looked horrible. Bad enough that I did not want to even go out so now here I am sitting at the computer. I just feel so blah. To top it off this whole week has been full of insomnia and I feel so tired but I can't seem to sleep. Sorry I am ranting a bit but I can only bother my husband so much about my problems. Plus he has his buddies over right now. I am sure that this is all stemming from the fact that I decided to take myself off my Zoloft. Obviously I can't handle it. I know I need it to level out my moods but it just seems to put me a a happy medium. I don't get down but at the same time I am never really elated. I don't know maybe it is stupid but I hate the fact that I have to take a little pill every day just to feel normal. There has got to be something else I can do. I am just ready to pull my hair out. Sorry to b$%@h and moan about how I feel right now I just needed to rant a bit and get it out.

I know how you feel. I have tones of fat days and even worse are the days were no matter how much oxy and cover up you use, your face looks broken out and blotchy. Or you can't get your favourite pants done up. Or they rip. Or you run out of eyeliner and you think your gonna look like crap without it. Don't worry hun, ALL women have days like that... and guys do too. I've seen it first hand. But obviously it's more of a chick thing. Just keep your chin up, and try to smile, because smiling makes you look 100 times prettier then when your upset. And if all else fails... stay at home and do what you did this time, confide in your Cavy Cages friends . Oh, and btw, I am the queen of mood swings. My boyfriend does what he can but I know he gives up on me a lot. And it's hard when he has buddies over, because a) you don't wanna ruin their good time and b) you don't want to look like a pain in the butt in front of his friends. So if you ever need to talk, add me on msn if you have it... because I feel your pain.

I second that: ALL women have those days sometimes. There have been days when no outfit looks right on me, even though it's stuff I've worn hundreds of times before. I end up changing clothes for an hour until I get fed up and give up.

I'm lucky enough to have a man that compliments me even when I'm moping around the house in sweats and a t-shirt, unshowered. You know what makes me feel better? Cleaning! I know it's sick but neatening up the house cheers me up!

I know what you mean about "happy medium". The contraceptive pills I was on made me even all the time. I finally switched to something else because I wanted to have mood swings! (Well, at least small mood swings.)

I know exactly how you feel. I have had to take a pill every day for a few years now, to feel "Normal" . Recently I have taken myself off them, with the hope that I could cope. But no I can't I have been so depressed and moody latley.

I hate going shopping because now I can't fit into the smaller clothes. I know I am a bit over weight but it really upsets me when I have to look at the tags etc. Somedays I feel like doing nothing but sitting on the couch and crying.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I was having a really bad night. I am feeling better this morning so that is good. Hubby said I can try and go out again tonight if I want to so at least I can get some time away from the house. I think that losing my job has really just put me in a gutter and was not something I could handle while off my medicine. It was just such a huge change for me going from working 40+ hours a week to being home 24/7 with my kids. Plus it is winter time so I am getting so bored sometimes and it is just taking a toll on my psyche.
