is anyone ever fat and happy?

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

I should say straight off that I'm fat and unhappy.
Ive never been happy with my weight and wondered is anyone ever?

also anyone have any tips send them my way

Reading Allan Carrs easyway - weight loss for women. It's very good

I don't feel happy as I feel very unhealthy

I'm fat and unhappy

I´m fat and happy.

I don't think so.
Im currently unhappy but working very hard to change a lot of things.
Looks aside for a minute, just the horrible bloated uncomfortable feeling and no energy is what makes me feel the worst.
Id love to become healthier which is my main aim in order to be happy again.

I will never be skinny. I was 15st but physically very fit I'm also about 6ft and that was my happiest time. I'm disgusted with how big ive got, I don't even like leaving the house anymore :(

I'm not unhappy. I like me and am very content with my life. I'd like to be slimmer but I don't focus on it.

How fat are we talking?

@sonjadog its refreshing to know that someone is.. I hope that doesn't sound weird

I'm fat and much happier than I was a good few stone lighter but my happiness has very little to do with my weight.

That being said if I could keep the better circumstances I have now and be as thin as I was when I was miserable that would be ideal, and it's something I'm working on.

I'm fat and very happy. My weight dosnt stop me from doing anything at all and defo not in the bedroom.
I had a bad fall recently (from a horse) and gp said that if it hadn't been for my weight I'd have broken something and done more damage than just bruising. So it does have an up side 😄

I'm fat and happy.
Aiming to lose weight, but happy none the less. No point being unhappy - life's too short.

I'm a size 22/24 and I used to be a 16 and felt obese then yet was fit & healthy and now I really am morbidly obese and just don't know what to do

Interestingly, one of the happiest periods of my life was when I was most overweight (this was 10 years ago) but I really wasn't thinking/caring about my weight at all because so many other things were happening.

Generally, being overweight makes me unhappy; but (I speak as a yo-yo dieter) there is a bit of a 'what do I do now' trap on reaching target, because being a healthy weight doesn't magically make the rest of your life perfect (although when you're trying to lose weight, it can feel as though it would).

I'm very fat and very happy. I would be concerned if my health was suffering but it isn't. The aesthetic side doesn't bother me at all (at least extremely rarely).

I'm a size 16/18 and I feel disgusting. It's really holding me back in life I need to sort it out

I think the main thing is that my weight/appearance does not equal happiness for me. Happiness comes from inside, from my relationships, from nature. Absolutely I could be thinner and fitter, but my happiness is not linked to that and never has been.

Agree with what Sonjadog said.

I'm a good 18 and fat and happy, I would like to get down to maybe a 14 in my dream world but then I know getting there would make me unhappy while I was doing it if that makes sense so I have made peace with myself how I am.
I love my wine and chinese takeaways. My weight doesn't impact on my life so here I am.

I'm fat - actually obese according to my BMI, I run 10k at least once a fortnight and go to the gym three times a week. But, and it is a big but, I bloody love my food and wine so I have to put up with the fact that I'm a size 16/18. Am I happy, god yes. And I also know how easy it would be for me to lose weight, but I can't do it, so I've made peace with my big tum and I've found that once your happy with yourself, it's hard for other people to upset you.

I let my weight overlap into other parts of my life which is why I'm so unhappy with my weight which I think is the case for a lot of people.

I'm fat - 30 kilos less than 2 years ago but still fat - but I am happy. I run 5k twice a week and swim, I do archery, I am 6 ft and a size 18 and everyone comments on how good I'm looking. For me it's getting fit that has brought about the happiness, there's nothing like a hit of your own endorphins to givey ou a high.

Nope I've yoyod alot, when I've been big I've not been happy. However when I start being kind to myself the weight drops off.

Also fat and unhappy. Always battled with my weight, was bullied all through primary school for being 'fat' (although looking back I wasn't fat, not fat enough for people to make fun of me for it anyway). Which has given me a lifelong complex. Got pregnant, put on even more weight and haven't lost it yet.

I know I would be happier if I lost weight but it's hard. There are a myriad of other issues too which contribute to that but I'd be here all day trying to explain it all.

I'm hoping I get there one day.

I'm about a stone, stone and half over weight and I'm really unhappy. My clothes just don't look good on me. Plus I have loads of clothes in my wardrobe that just don't fit. Actually dreading my holiday tbh.

yeah, me. I'm size 18 and I think about 15stone. The only thing in my life I'm not happy about is something work related which has nothing to do with my shape.

Funcle I totally agree with you, before I moved in with oh I was low carbing, lost nearly 5 stone. 3lb every week. I KNOW how I could do it but that just isn't how I like to live now.
