I think the fact that clothes tend to get smaller in the summer has something to do with it.  I always felt like I could hide under layers in the winter.  Summer, not so much.

nah, just sweaty and disgusting.

considering the amount of time i spend outside in the 100+ degree weather i just feel downright nassssty.

 

but i personally feel a little a little "chubbier" in the winter. it's kind of a lazy time of year, and i feel bigger when i'm lazy.

Well, probably what that is is the fact that gases contract when they're colder and expand when they're warmer. So the different gaseous substances in your body make you feel a little puffier.

I've noticed that my rings are looser on my fingers in winter and fall. I don't think you just feel bigger in hot weather, you may actually be bigger.

That's not to say you weigh more, though.

 

(Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about, really. xD)

Yeah, I feel chubbier in the hot weather, too. I can't wait for October to come, then there will be no more hot, maybe even snow. :)

Yes. Ugh. I hate hot weather. Plus, I don't even own a pair of shorts. I wear the same stuff in the summer that I do in the winter... I just change my sweater a bit (jeans, cami and cardi-- summer is just a 3/4 sleeve thin one though).
Yep.  I swell in the heat, so that is probably why.  I can't wait for Fall. 

Yup, hot weather definitely makes me feel heavier - I think it's because usually more skin is exposed in summer so it feels like there's more of it.

I know exactly what you are talking about.  I feel like in hot weather, the thin women look great while I feel all hot and sweaty and gross.  It makes me wonder...when I am thin and healthy, will I still feel like they look more comfortable than me?

i know what you mean!

hot weather = sweat more = clothes stick to skin = feel fat

for me, the hot weather makes me sooooo lethargic, so i feel like a couch potato, which is piggish behavior lol. but i still try to go to the gym and fight through the couchyness. =P
