I too have a "fat voice". I have been working very very diligently to shut it up and I have found that good simple "no" responses work well.

The root of the problem is that you have to develop an intense relationship with yourself and figure out why exactly it is that "fat" is bad. Would it make you any less of a person if you were? You have to become a person inside and not worry so much about who you are on the outside. I know it sounds like therapist rabble, but seriously it has helped me.

Think of yourself as a child, visualize yourself in a mental state where you can just be in awe at the beauties of the world as opposed to the imperfections, because in those imperfections, thats where the beauty lies.

I have been binge/purge free going on almost four weeks now (its been exhausting) and I have found that my fat voice has gotten quieter and quieter, until, seriously, i think it took a vacation today. I was able to be normal and share laughs and live life to the fullest all why wearing my "fat" pants (we all know the ones, they make your butt look big and have never fit right, but you keep them just incase miraculously they fit one day).

I'm not sure if this rant has helped you at all, but I feel better. You can do it! Just remember, if you feel fat, chances are your mind is craving some other attention other places in your life, its just its way of getting your attention.

I recommend reading A Fistful of Sky, by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, http://www.amazon.com/Fistful-Sky-La.../dp/0441009751

It goes into eating, "fat" and fat voices in a way one can't imagine; I found it really really helpful.

My problem is that i am overweoght. So i amfat so when i feel like starving myself for the day my head says "your fat" and i remembe that i am 5' 1" and 147 pounds and know that I am fat. So i understand that for you guys you sometimes can believe you are fat but please keep in mind that you are better off then me . I know that may not help.. Jut kinda rambling...
