evepostapple: YES, EVEN SKINNY GIRLS HAVE FAT DAYS! This is a post inspired by a recent conversation with my friend and team mate Theresa (The Fame).  Both of us have experienced these ‘fat days’ throughout our journey and they are the days that cause us to draw strength from within to dawn our workout clothes and hit it hard even though it is the last thing we feel like doing. Today, I am definitely having a fat day.  I wear a size 0 or 24 jeans and have come to a place in my journey where I am happy and feeling great in my own skin for probably the first time in my adult life.  But today, is a fat day.  It is day 3 of a heavy moon-cycle and I can feel my body holding a few pounds of water which feels like at least 10 pounds with every step I take.  Thighs are rubbing, belly is protruding and nothing fits right. What do I do on a day like this? Yoga pants, I will not throw on my skinny jeans today just something with a stretch waist band that feels comfortable I will follow my meal plan and not restrict my calories or food because I am feeling heavy.  This will only serve to slow down my metabolic rate (and I have worked damn hard to build it up so that I am a calorie burning machine) I will get my workout in, no excuses! I will drink my usual 4 litres of water and avoid foods with sodium and will probably stay away from the coffee I will not stand in front of the mirror or let myself dwell in negative thoughts I will do something special for myself today (a face mask, a walk in the fresh air, my favourite matcha tea, a yoga class) Many people who are struggling to lose weight or are on a successful weight loss journey can not imagine that a thin person can ever feel heavy or fat.  With this post, I just want all ladies to understand that we all struggle with these sorts of feelings. Yes ladies, we all have fat days no matter the size, weight, or shape.  This just shows how similar we all are and how important it is for us to support rather than judge one another.
