Going on holiday and feeling fat

[CrazyMumyy]

5 years ago I was 8 stones and today I’m 11 stones 12lb. I really wanted to lose weight before this holiday but everyday stuffed my face. In taxi going to airport and I’m really upset. I don’t want to take any pictures when we’re there. I don’t even want to get in the pool. Has anyone else felt like this? I just feel disgusting. I see how DH looks at me when I was trying clothes on for this holiday. I feel and look disgusting. How can I not wreck the holiday for my kids in particular? I want to be happy and upbeat but just feel like hiding away. About 30 minutes to airport now.

It is possible to make yourself feel better quickly. Make low calorie choices from right now, even if you deprive yourself a little and after a couple of days you'll feel smug and better. Drink lots of water and lose the water weight. You'll wee alot. Think of it like swishing the debris out of a bowl. You'll have plenty to distract you. Have fun!

You have two choices - spend your holiday hiding away, feeling ashamed of your body, or think fuck it and enjoy your holiday.

I refuse to be defined by my weight.

@Zanatdy but you ARE making untrue statements. You’ve literally no idea whether op is over weight, none of us do. She could be 4ft or 6ft. What we do know is that A. She feels shit about how she looks. And. B. She is literally at the airport. And C. She is not going to lose x amount of weight on her flight!
The fact that you chose to tell her that yes, she might well be fat (when she quite clearly knows that and is struggling with it, even though it might not be true, and has asked for advice around it) says more about you than it does about op. If you can’t be kind, don’t reply.

Give it a rest. We are all trying to be supportive and help OP feel better about herself. I imagine all of us, including myself, are very aware of our height/weight ratio and what that means and I’m in no doubt the OP does as well.

I know how you feel. I just went on holiday and I’m not at the weight I want to be.
I spent the first few days really self conscious but then I really thought about it.. was looking at other peoples bodies around the pool? No. If I did notice anyone did I care that they were overweight? Not even a tiny bit. No one around that pool will care about what you look like. Trust me.

so bloody typical! My period is still going. I should have been finished by now. I’ve never been away whilst on so not sure what to do. I obviously won’t swim whilst it’s going on as I think that unhygienic?

Eh?

just put in a tampon??
