Katy Perry has been called "The First Lady of Hot" by Maxim, but she doesn't always feel worthy of the title.
Us Weekly caught up with the "Part of Me" singer at the Nov. 28 UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York City, where she and other celebs including Selena Gomez, Uma Thurman, Tony Bennett and Kelly Ripa walked the blue carpet and helped raise money for UNICEF'S lifesaving children's programs.
The pop star, 28, was stunning in a tight, floor-length, semi-sheer navy Naeem Khan dress with a matching cape, Guiseppi Zanotti heels, a Judith Leiber clutch, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels -- but she admitted she didn't feel as good as others thought she looked.
"I feel like my [fat] is sticking out so bad right now," she confided in Us at the bash. "I almost always wear [Spanx], but not tonight, and I feel it pushing out, making me look fat."
"I like to say I run on the elliptical for 30 minutes watching CNN, but I don't do it often enough," she added. "So I'm just like, 'Oh, I guess I'm not fitting into this Lanvin dress for these couple of months.'"

on the other hand, i have never felt fat because i have always been fat. and i am totally okay with being fat. maybe, in that respect, i have it easier than someone who worries about getting fat or feeling fat.
I have PCOS that started with puberty, so I've never really known what it's like NOT to be fat. Physiologically, I am a lot luckier than women who gain weight suddenly (one PCOS woman I know gained 100 lbs in a year and a half - oy! The toll it took on her, emotionally and physically!)
According to every medical scale except BMI, I am as healthy as a proverbial horse. I keep up with my cop friends at the gym and I eat way better than most people. I'm always going to be short and fat, but whatever. I feel sorry for people who worry about size more than health.
cheers to us for being plus size and confident!

IA that because I have always been big, I don't fear getting any bigger. My friend on the other hand worries about it all the time, and that has to be tough.
TBH I'm the same, but I have PCOS and I would like to lose weight because it is supposed to help a lot with the symptoms, but I've never really 'hated' being fat.
ive lost like 15 pounds just from eating less and walking more. my classes are so far apart and i walk a lot-well for me-and i want to start walking more since a break is coming up and i dont want to gain more weight. im finally not winded from a flight of stairs! which is weird cause i wasnt overweight before, just unhealthy
Wear supportive shoes though. I have been wearing crappy flats while walking everywhere as a younger person, and I'm now in my late 20s with weak creaky knees and ankles, which is not fun when I walk.
it's a pain because it would probably go away if i weighed like 100 pounds but hell no, i enjoy food too much.
Every time I smell a man wearing this I literally have to stop myself from marching over and giving him a great big kiss
also there was a versace one i smelled on some guy and it was AMAZINGGGG
I like the new Bvlgari for men too.
(in fact, I think I'm going to make him spray some on before we go to bed tonight, haha)
huge difference.
i'm convinced i have this gut that came out of nowhere and everyone can see it. today i did two classes at the gym and for the first time REALLY PUT MY ALL into those crunches/bicycles. i felt the burn. i wanted to die. i loved it.
oh and i don't have any desire to use spanx. it creates an illusion and i like to know what i am working with/need to work on.

If needed, gain the weight back first and lose it with purpose and healthily. Weight loss tend to stay lost that way.
HTH
