why do I feel fat?

For some reason, I have the nearly non-stop sensation that my fat belly is just hanging over my belt. Problem is... it isn't. I'm 31 and I'm wearing blue jeans that I wore in the 8th grade and they're far from being tight. I have to wear a sweatshirt when I do squats because otherwise my weight belt isn't tight enough even on the smallest hole. I even shaved my chest and belly a few days ago so my abs could be seen, as they're getting defined alot more than I had expected. So, I don't understand these sensations. It's not like I'm anorexic and think I'm fat when I'm not, it just physically feels that way. Very strange.

The only thing I can think of at all is that I seem to have chronic constipation, it's not uncommon for me to go for a week without taking a dump, yet I don't have any pain or severe discomfort associated with this. I eat alot of fiber, including Metamucil, and I drink nearly a gallon of water a day, so I don't know why I'm like that. Enlarged colon maybe? I thought maybe all that crap was putting pressure on other organs. Maybe this is totally off, I don't know, it just feels weird to feel fat when I'm not.

I know what you mean. Its that bloated feeling. I have problems also with the protein intake but take fiber also. I take acidophilus on a regular basis to prevent bad bacteria in the intestines and that helps with that bloated feeling...its a good yeast cleanser for woman as well.

It means your not satisfied with the way you look right now.

I may not be completely satisfied, but I honestly think it's a physical feeling and not mental, because the way I look right now is the best I've looked in the past 16 years... nearly half my life. I'm completely happy with the way that I've been improving physically. Plus, I really only notice it when I'm sitting down, and I can literally change the way I sit and the feeling will either get better or worse. I don't see how that can be mental. If it was mental, it should be constant, I shouldn't feel highly uncomfortable or feel totally relieved based on which way I'm sitting. Some days I feel like a million bucks, but some days, like this morning, that feeling is so bad that I have a little trouble breathing. Considering the shape that I'm in, I should have no trouble whatsoever breathing while doing nothing but working at the computer.

truthfully I think it is time you splashed out on a new pair of jeans then.:)

body dysmorphic is the real 2 words that you are looking for. A lot of people suffer from it and can lead to eating disorders, there would actually be quite a few bodybuilders who suffer from this however rather then think they are 2 big they think they are 2 small even though they are massive
