When I Was Thin I thought I Was Fat, When I Was Fat I thought I Was Thin.

Ohh the psychological workings of a person with a yo-yo weight problem. That would be me.

It's funny when I was literally 110 pounds, I would look in the mirror and I would see a fat person. I truly thought I was fat. Wow, I was skin and bones and still in my childhood body. I was not fat, but that is what I believed and saw.

Later in life I did gain weight, I went up and down for years, but when I stuck at my overweight weight for years, I would actually look in the mirror and think I was thin.

Now how can this be? Why would I think I was fat when I was thin, and thin when I was fat? This makes no sense.

Yet I know that many people have this same problem as me. It's some kind of twisted body image. It's completely insane. The scale tells the truth, but people like me refuse to stand on it and know the truth. We go along lying to ourselves, telling ourselves that were thin, when we can't fit into our pants! It truly is an insanity condition, to live with a weight problem.

How are we going to get over this? How are we going to admit the truth and change our behavior to get the results we so desire?

By stepping on the scale and not letting it make us want to eat even more.

By stepping on the scale and not letting it make us feel like horrible failures.

By stepping on the scale and using that number to change.

By stepping on the scale and being strong because we know the truth.

If you know the truth – then you have the information to change.
