I almost always feel fat when my clothes don't fit. Or, as in the case of last night, when I'm around people who are Super fit and obviously work very hard for it and I feel guilty for not doing the same. I went to see Burn the Floor last night and saw some Truly Amazing dancer bodies!!!! Sometimes I also feel fat when I feel broke. And you're right, it's not about really feeling fat, it's more about feeling helpless. Luckily, it doesn't take me long to pull out of that one because I'm quick to remind myself that it is temporary and I can make it through. So really, the biggest issue is when I put on clothes that don't fit well. 9 times out of 10 the issue is about my arms. And that's because I've always been very good at dressing for my ass and thighs, which are my biggest parts. They've been my biggest issues since I hit puberty, so I've got the dressing for ass thing down pat now. In the past, people have always guessed I am at least a size, sometimes two less than I really am. I've always been proud of that. But I can't hide my arms in the Summer. So when they're looking jiggly, I get down.
