To quite like being fat?

[Flumpflimpo]

There was one time that i was 9 stone. This year i am the heaviest i have ever been.

Every week for that last year i have been thinking that i must lose weight, and i have been trying every diet , and thinking about food all the time.

I was so stressed from it all that i decided to give myself and not think about dieting for one month.

I was just thinking this month, I quite emjoy being fat. Im not morbidly obese, i am fat.

I feel nice and warm and cozy

When i was thin, i rememember feeling cold and having low energy a lot.

Has anyone else felt the same?

That’s interesting, I always assume overweight people feel tired and uncomfortable as they are carrying around extra weight all the time. Good for you if you feel good.

@Flumpflimpo congratulations on finding fat liberation! Things you may already know:
Thinness doesn't always equal healthiness
Self acceptance is very restful
You don't owe the world prettiness or thinness to earn your place in it as a woman.
I wish you all the best existing just as you are!

I lost 4 stone and my boobs didn’t budge! Weight comes off my stomach first usually
all I did was make my back size smaller and bras harder to find ended up a 32JJ

What an odd response 😂

😂😂😂😂 the bitchiest comment ever

She doesn’t look down on small boobs she just likes having them

Yep if one is happy about something they probably wouldn’t start a thread. What was it Shakespeare said about protesting too much.

the usual lazy responses on here - anyone expressing a different opinion must be jealous. That’s simply not correct.

How is it bitchy? It’s physics. If I go in a walk with a backpack on it’s more energy sapping than without and I will be more tired. When I was getting to the top of Kilimanjaro and flagging, guides took our rucksacks off us, why did they do that- because removing weight made it less tiring.

New to mumsnet?

that wasn’t bitchy

Sorry didn’t mean to be bitchy, I would never ever say that IRL. It’s just something I have always assumed but turns out I’m wrong.

Why odd. Some people like to have bigger boobs. Some don’t.

I didn’t say anything different to that? It seemed to be assumed that big boobs were a positive part of being overweight. I was agreeing with a poster that it wasn’t a positive for me.

@CharSiu out of interest why do you think that is? Natural genetics? Diet? Not eating much?Lack of snacking? More excercise? genuinely interested. Rice and noodles are carb heavy so diet wise I’m not quite sure how that works.

I hate having big breasts too, it makes me feel really frumpy / like a cow. I'm so jealous of women with small, neat breasts.

@AhBiscuitsme too - I’m busily losing weight at moment but my boobs remain resolutely huge and were when I was 8 and a half stone and 18

It’s not a societal pressure to not to be fat just for the sake of it.

theres plenty of reasons to be a healthy weight and stay In shape. Not because of society but because of the very real health risks of being obese. It is not a positive thing to be obese. No you should not hate yourself or your body. But we should all work to stay a healthy weight.

I've only ever seen "massive salads" and chickens that could feed a family of 5 for a month referred to in posts like this meant in jest.

I have, however, seen plenty of posts on MN from people claiming they'd look "gaunt" if they dropped below <insert weight well above which anyone would look remotely gaunt>

sit doon hen: why does she need to tell you. What’s your bmi?

1. Already sat doon, hen.
2. So I can answer the question posed in her AIBU
3. 27, but I'm not asking for opinions on whether I should be happy with it or not. If anyone cares, I'm trying to get it into the healthy range.

Im not morbidly obese, i am fat.

at 5’3 and 13 stone? You are comfortably in the “obese category”

You weigh 4 stone more than me at the same height. I was fat at 2 stone heavier. I’m still a bit chunky now and my BMI is between 21 and 22. You are obese, not a bit fat. What a strange thread to start and you can’t to be happy to have tried so many diets.

don’t get too excited apparently it’s only till Sept !

What’s with the perfect weight people getting a buzz from telling others they are morbidly obese-If op is happy saying she’s fat - leave it at that . honestly think some people may be slim but blimey they’ve got mental health issues- yes on paper OP may be morbidly obese but I’m quite sure at a bmi of 33 to 34 ish she’s aware of that and prefers the term ‘fat’ - so leave her to it - at a size 16 she’s hardly Dawn French at her fattest. I’m same size and weight and slightly taller and as far as I’m concerned I’m overweight - because that says to me what I feel ok with - and I am losing weight and not happy with it by the way - I do not constantly need smug people busy piling in to make me feel shitter than I do by pulling me up and telling me I’m morbidly obese - as it happens I look pretty decent too and my good looking successful H thinks I always look good and has never once said ‘lose weight’ although he said that health wise getting below 12 would be good for me as I’m 63 . And the lady with the BMI of 21 being chunky - you are having a laugh -

YANBU
I'm old and fat (overweight, not obese, according to my BMI, though that probably underestimates my fatness as I have a very small frame). It doesn't bother me at all.
I concentrate on getting plenty of enjoyable exercise, like walking up big hills, and eating good quality food.

Nope - my eyes remain in place when ab OP uses their punctuation of choice (though a total absence of any punctuation/paragraphs stops me reading further)
