To quite like being fat?

was 19+ st till recently, I’m always cold no matter what time of the year it is, and no I don’t get thigh chafing.
its not the same for everyone overweight

You'd have to look at it from a BMI standard. There's a section for overweight and obese. It's just better to lose the weight and stay healthy. Forget men and cat calling x

I am petite so when I’m light then I’m constantly cold and have trouble opening doors! So i totally get it. a bit of weight is helpful, but avoiding being too overweight as unhealthy

Are you sure you're fat? Maybe you're just not skinny anymore.

If my husband put on a lot of weight, I would hate it too.

Exaxtly this.

I was 9st before I had my kids. I’ve PILED on two stone, and I feel pretty large. My BMI is 24, I’m still ‘normal’ even if I’m fatter than I was.

Your husband sounds like a dick and a disappointment and I am sorry that he couldn’t feel the same about you when you were a bit larger. I’m not sure I could forgive someone being so superficial.

I agree with this tbh. I'm happiest with a BMI of about 26-28. When I got down to a BMI of 24, which with my build is a size 10, I was shocked that the creepy, arrogant type of man who feels entitled to demand attention from women uninvited resurfaced as I thought my age would have made me invisible by now. Apparently not yet.

Additionally my mother is so transparently gloaty and ingratiatingly congratulatory in comparison to her manner when I'm bigger if I'm a size 10 when she sees me after a longer break that it's enough to make me want to eat a barrel of ice-cream.

I carry weight ok and have never in my life been sedentary - I am on my feet for nine hours at work, and I get up at 5am to walk before hand for the sake of my mental health, and I feel good up to a BMI of around 30, but because I do time restricted eating my BMI only goes above that when I'm stress eating, which often means I'm eating too frequently and too much sugar, anyway.

I like how I feel and am treated by pretty much everyone when just a bit overweight, not too much but a bit, best though.

My BMI was 29.6 and because I was feeling meh I had a blood test and my liver function was high. I don't drink alcohol. I has an ultrasound scan and I had a fatty liver, a liver cyst and gallstones which weren't causing any problems. I went on a diet using Nutracheck and I lost just over 2 stone and have a bmi of 23.3. A follow up scan was normal, I'd reversed my fatty liver.

it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside it's what you look like on the inside that causes problems.

Love, promoting being fat is completely insane. Get in shape so you can live a healthy long life x

Ronnie Coleman feels warm and cosy x

Yes/ But if I could be 8stone 6lb and eat what I want I'd like that too.

I’ve always been fit and strong. No, everything has stayed broadly similar. The weight has come off through changes in my eating.
Flexibility doesn’t improve or decline with weight gain or loss, by the way. I don’t try to run fast, I aim to run for longer without stopping, and that improves with practice. Not weight- I have been on a weight seesaw in recent years.

If you put on weight easily and when you weren't fat you were cold and tired all the time, it sounds like hypothyroidism. Have you had your thyroid checked? You might lose a lot and feel better when on medication.

I hate being bigger than when I’m at my most comfortable. I feel sluggish and clothes never look as good. I feel so much better when I eat well and excercise. I always feel like sex is better too as I’m more confident.

Lol people absolutely cannot stand a fat person being happy 😂 how dare you enjoy yourself! You should feel shame, fear, disgust, WILL ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?! Etc.

I’m overweight (had a baby 9 weeks ago but was overweight before I conceived tbh). I absolutely love eating without care. I’m completely indifferent to the way my body looks. Don’t love it, don’t hate it, don’t really think about it.

Planning to hop on the MJ train once I stop breastfeeding, simply for the health benefits of being slim. I’ve never had any weight related issues but I think my luck might be run out as I venture into my 30s.

That's what I took from the thread.
This place is bonkers.
You do you OP.
Enjoy your body. Life is very short and unpredictable, Enjoy your summer.

If she stays at BMI 32 (or higher), however, she's very likely to face health problems in the future. There's a reason we're told to try to keep it below 25.

Yep, same! 🙄 X

Good luck to you, great to feel comfortable in your skin.

I was 13 stone 1 at the beginning of this year and completely miserable, I hated it so much and I am a bit taller at 5ft 6. I looked like I’d been inflated like a balloon!

I've managed to lose 3 stone intermittent fasting and going to the gym and I feel strong and healthy and I look so much better. I will never be skinny but I’m a comfortable size 12 and eating well so feel great. My knees were a terrible problem too and they are much better now, much less painful.

If you are genuinely happy and not experiencing health problems then good luck to you. It’s no one else’s business really is it?

But if you were really happy being fat, then you wouldn’t be saying you’re just going to be fat until September. You’d just be happy staying fat. And I’ve been there. Remember saying I didn’t care about being fat, happy in my own skin and all that, but I lost weight and realised I did care when I was fat. Im not thin now but probably just your average size 14.

Yanbu. My DM was fat not obese, she was always lovely and warm, big snuggles.

I'm skinny, I'm always freezing, last week was the first time I had my arms out in Ireland during the heatwave, first time in a year.

I can't wear fashionable clothing without a heavy coat.

DH is overweight, he has a tiny blanket, mine is thick. He was jealous that I slept like a log through the mini heatwave.

I love being warm.

If you’ve put on a stone in weight I would say carry on, if you’ve put on ten stone I would say that’s impacting your health and you should do something about it.

If you feel great, you wouldn't be posting on MN about how you feel "quite happy" being fat until September. You're posting during a hot summer about how warm and cosy you feel. If you feel great and happy then embrace it but stop relating it to your body. You have issues about your weight, hardly surprising as most people do, be they fat, thin or anything in between. So don't focus on your weight. Don't bother with threads about how you're temporarily quite happy being fat. Work on you being happy without reference to your body.

Any post on here started by somebody about their weight gets nasty comments. Thin or fat. People love being mean, as well as the more considered and thoughtful comments . I wouldn’t bother responding OP. And I say that as a thin person.
