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?

Indeed

but given the crux of your Op and the fact you’re perfectly happy telling us your lowest weight… it seems a little odd not to be open and proud of your current weight 🤷‍♀️

With a BMI of 32 you may well be happy but you won’t be healthy. Maybe go speak to your dr?

Be careful about criticising other fat people. When you lose a lot of weight it is so easy to become hypercritical of other fatties but all it shows is that becoming thin has been torturous for you because you have given up eating certain foods and in the quantities you desire. You turn all your anger about that on fat people. I have seen this so many times.

If you’re happy then that’s great!

For me, being overweight was awful. It wasn’t so much how I looked, but how awful it made me feel. Being a healthy weight, but fit and strong is where I’m happiest. I’ve certainly weighed less and felt awful too. Thankfully I feel I’ve finally found my sweet spot in terms of weight/health.

That's ok.
There are lots of 'sugar free' diet gimmicks and 'influencers' - they say silly things like 'I only eat fruit and veg, no sugar'. 🤔

Ive already answered that several times.

I said that i didnt want to give my current weight , as i knew i would get inmediate abuse for it.

I did write my bmi. And what happened. I immediately got abused fot it.

I'm thin naturally but get very tired if I don't eat meat as I am often borderline anaemic. I've tried being vegetarian and was exhausted all the time, so it's possible when you were eating more healthily something like that was going on?

I was two stones above my normal weight for a year after childbirth and felt much sexier than normal. I don't think thinner is always more attractive. But I was still a healthy weight even then.

I am happy for you, OP. I honestly think everybody has a weight that feels ‘right’ for them. It might not necessarily fit society’s expectations or that of the medical professionals, but it might feel right just for you. And I mean that for people at both ends of the weight scale. I have a very particular range where I feel okay with my weight.
Enjoy your summer!

My dad was always bit overweight. He developed type 2 diabetes, had a stroke in his 50s and died from a heart attack in his 60s. My mum died from cancer in her 60s. Was that related to being overweight? We'll never know but obesity increases the risk of cancer.
Whatever anyone says, fat bodies are not healthy. I guess if you want to throw away your health rather than put on a jumper it's your call.

Also think about how happy you’ll be after developing diabetes, cancer, a stroke or having a heart attack. All of which are linked to obesity. Sorry. But it’s true.

But your missing the point, being overweight impacts on your health apart from diabetes and high blood pressure which as much as you deny it is associated with obesity. I’ll list more increased risk of needing a joint replacement, increased risk of a stroke and some cancers including bowel and breast cancer! The statistics don’t lie Approximately 80% of people with obesity are estimated to have at least one related health condition.

But you can’t escape the fact that obesity is stretching an already stretched NHS! Why would anyone want an increased risk of high blood pressure, fatty liver, diabetes, stroke and cancers that are linked to obesity!

Op if you're happy then it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

I found the same thing in Thailand when I was there, fat meant very well fed which in turn meant rich. Being fat is often valued in poor places because it means you have money. The Thai prostitutes were always happy to go for fat, old men.

The one thing I think you need to be aware is that once fat cells are laid down, they are always there and never go away. That makes losing weight harder. It's much easier to not put the weight on in the first place then it is to lose the weight after so please keep that in mind.

PP doesn’t sound angry, you sound deluded though.

Deluded in what way. Please explain. Do you think that no one can be fat and happy. Why is that?

I agree with you. I’ve been losing weight for the last 12 months (because I really was too fat) and since losing 4.5 stone my health is going to pot. My knees are ruined. I feel old. I didn’t feel this way when I was fatter! It’s tempting to scoff again for some cushion 😂

OP, you say size 16 is average. You are 5 foot 2. It makes a huge difference. If you were 5 foot 9 your BMI would not be so high. I am 5 foot 1 and if I was a size 16 I would be grossly overweight.

you seem surprised that people are curious about the weight you are at that you proclaim to be so happy at!! So happy you started a thread about it.

But god forbid anyone actually ask this “happy” weight!!!

I said that i was five foot 3.

I can fit into size 14's too. Depends on the shop.

I wear 14's and 16's

I'm that height and have just lowered my bmi to 29 and I'm definitely roasting and sweaty rather than warm and cozy lol.

God forbid anyone reads the thread,

Seeing as i wrote my weight many pages ago now. Yet im still being accused of not sharing it.

Do you read?

I decided a long time ago that I like looking like I ate pudding because I like eating pudding.

I disagree only she can decide if she’s happy with having a BMI of 32. Having to try and get validation from total strangers proves she’s not happy. I know how much I weighed when my BMI was 32 and unless she’s wearing elasticated clothing no way is she a size 16. She is exhibiting all the behaviours I did when I was obese and looking back I was kidding myself I was happy!

At 5ft 3 and BMI 32, she must weigh just below 13 stone.

This thread, wow.
OP, im 5ft.1 and at my heaviest after having my DC i weighted 17st 2, I felt and looked hideous, my current weight 3 years later is a healthy 8st 10. I'm lucky to have no health conditions.
As someone who used to be very very overweight, everything is easier now im slim.
I'm much happier and while it's not been easy it's worth it.
I don't believe anyone who is obese and happy.
You might feel happy atm but the circle will continue of eating, dieting, exercise, mood swings, ect
