I'm sorry you dealt with that. Your past avi showed you as a woman with a thin face...

:lupe:

Was there a weightloss journey?

Yeah....sorta.

About 7-8 years ago - got tired of worrying about my weight -- and stopped counting calories and being obsessively vain. I wanted to eat -- and not care - so said forget it -- and started eating.... and eating.... everything. I got to like 165-175lbs at 5'2.

I stayed there for like 2-3 years -- then got tired of being fat. So, I lost it.

Those overweight years were hell -- my dating life sucked, the quality of men that liked me sucked, I couldn't fit any of my old clothes, people treated me differently. And my parents - low-key fat-shamed me - mainly my mom.

My best friend was a trainer at the time -- and he helped me get back in shape. In addition, I started therapy.

It's been a life-long issue -- it's never been about weight for me -- I restrict when I'm stressed or depressed. Some people eat when they are stressed/depressed -- I don't - at all.

Neither fat women or fat men -- want to date each other.

But, I have noticed in the past when Fat men approached me -- they always ask "do I like fat guys" -- or "men who are not vegan/vegetarian?" They were always concerned about not working out -- or made excuses why they didn't.

I think fat men are more aware of being fat and just don't care.

Opposed to fat women -- they don't really think they are THAT fat -- and hence think everyone should want them.
This is partly because men usually approache women, and women do the "choosing". Automatically that puts women at an advantage when it comes to finding a S/O, or even just no strings attached sex in any kind of social setting. Not only that, but social media plays a role in this. Fat women can find their niche and get hella thristy guys to like, comment, DM them, etc. Also street harassment probably plays a role too. So when you factor all these things, of course even fat women will have a warped sense of desirability and will always feel like they're constsntly sought after and wanted......until they meet a man or group of men who may not be attracted to their body type. And these are usually men who are considered somewhat attractive across tiers. So these are men with options. It's not so much that these fat women aren't desirable(every woman unless she has some sort of rough physical deformity) can have a legion of men to choose from....it may just not be the men that they necessarily want. ESPECIALLY if these women were able to secure a relationship, sex, or what have you from a guy they'd typically consider above their league.

Wow. That's the rare yo-yo of weightloss/gain that's sparked by psychological factors. As you said, it's usually one or the other. But that's extreme. Glad you got through it. I was once where you were in terms of being overweight. But my food addiction was sparked by just being a hungry fatass. Being fat and short is no bueno. I was 214lbs at 5'7. I used to make four fried eggs just for myself. I'd use scoops of butter as the oil, and I'd pour Lawry's all over the eggs. This was primarily during my teenage years to early 20's. I hated my arteries!!

:damn:

I found the gym, and it was a wrap. I became an addict. Hell, I had to pop an Ibuprofen to get through a two hour session these past couple nights. I think I pulled a muscle in my left pec last week.

:damn:

Being fat leads to an array of health problems
High cholesterol
Diabetes
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Sleep apnea

Why are you a fat acceptance advocate

Of course making fun of fat people is wrong and certain drugs can cause added weight etc

But come on
You can get all of those things and not be fat:mjgrin:

It was. It definitely stemmed from having a mom who was extremely vain -- and wanted me to look and behave a certain way. She's still like that to this day. But, I learned to ignore it.

My daddy was overweight when they met -- not sloppy -- but had a belly --- and my mom wasn't -- and so I think she wanted to make sure we (her kids) weren't overweight.

I remember working out when I was like 5-6 years old -- and she always had me in some type of sport - or activity.

I had all of these... These were my toys... :(





Being short and gaining weight sucks. If I gain 10lbs -- it totally changes my looks. I have learned how to stay and maintain my weight. Which is a blessing.
