Aibu to feel so fat

Evening all

Not sure if aibu or not

After a week of heavy eating, i am feeling crap this evening. Mother of 2, 5ft 4, weighed today at 8st11 and just measured waist at 25inches. I haven't done any exercise since before my eldest was born, who is over 3 now.

Need some motivation to get my ass in gear and tips on how you all who keep slim do it

Wish I was complaining about a 25 inch fucking waist 😭

You are probably feeling bloated and that will pass. However if you genuinely feel you are fat I think you may have bigger problems.

Wildorchidz ideally I would like to get a couple of personal training sessions as I feel I would be a bit more motivated and get more done in a session than I would on my own

Not a stealth boast. This is genuinely how I'm feeling this eve

Then I would suggest you have a problem.

WorraLiberty · 09/06/2019 21:31

OP, you've started threads in the past alluding to having an eating disorder.

I mean this in the kindest possible way, but AIBU really isn't the place to start a thread like this.

If you feel bloated then have a peppermint tea, but a lot of posters on here are much heavier than you and struggling with weight so may find your post a little disingenuous, or an attempt for everyone to tell you how non fat you are.

Go and see your GP, you may have body dysmorphia.

I can only dream of being as "fat" as you OP.

user1471514421 · 09/06/2019 21:34

So I cant struggle with weight just because my numbers are not the same as others?

Op, you have the right to feel how to feel, and no one can tell you that you can’t. Only you know how you feel happiest.
I use Jillian Michaels 30day shred and Ripped in 30. Bloody brill exercise, and it takes about 25 mins.
Good luck.

MadamMMA · 09/06/2019 21:35

Oh dear, bloating happens and it sounds like you are struggling to put it into perspective,
You aren’t fat but that won’t stop you feeling that way if you do indeed have an eating disorder

Sparklesocks · 09/06/2019 21:35

Of course not, but you may not get the desired response

MadamMMA · 09/06/2019 21:36

I’d second Jillian Michaels work outs too

Unburnished · 09/06/2019 21:36

Can you not just go and have a shit?

Sorted it for you.

zen1 · 09/06/2019 21:36

You're not 'fat' OP - and if you genuinely perceive that you are, then please speak to a medical professional who can give you some advice.

Wildorchidz · 09/06/2019 21:36

Is there a chance that you are on the way to disordered thinking about your body and weight?
Is your husband aware of how you feel ?

ODFOD- not sure what this is

OP posts:
Quartz2208 · 09/06/2019 21:41

You aren’t struggling with weight you are struggling with your perception of it. The fact that you know your waist measurements and have done so speaks volumes
I also suspect that your overeating is probably others normal eating

2 things maybe a GP appointment for this and starting exercise
