Wow--I guess that everyone has the same problem. I understand how you feel b/c that's how I feel occasionally on Mondays when I've had one of those "I don't care" weekends! I feel fat and lazy and even though I want to work out extra hard to try to burn some of those extra calories, it's hard to work b/c my body literally feels swolen. Does anyone else have that feeling? When I go to do crunches, it's like there's an extra layer around my waist that's getting in the way!
I also get really mad at myself when I overeat or just eat something really bad for me. But what always helps me is looking at everyone around me--not at how they look physically, but at their diet/exercise habits. I know VERY FEW people that eat healthily and exercise regularly, much less obsess about it like I do! I imagine that they probably have that heavy bloated feeling every single day. This encourages me b/c I know that I'm making a true effort to live a healthy lifestyle.
Don't get me wrong--I'm not saying to judge yourself against others, I'm just saying that others make me realize just how much effort I put forth and that makes me proud.
GOOD LUCK!!!

For me, it's every Monday I get that magnificent bloat. Stick a pin in me and I'd float like a balloon. (Why is that Frank Sinatra song "Come Fly With Me" playing in my head?) I love corn muffins and have one on Saturday and Sunday night . . . plus popcorn and licorice!
Every Monday I get the same aerobics teacher at my gym and she's always admonishing the class to hold in their abs. Can't help but notice that half the time she's a'lookin' at yours truly! (I am holding, I am holding, but honey, I gotta breathe too!) She pretty well only sees me when I'm Puff-the-Magic Hagen-Daz. Doesn't help that she's got a body that we fitness buffs would kill for!
Oh well, I'll just have to float with the bloat 'cause life ain't worth living without my treats!
