I'm pretty fat. but it don't matter to me because I just don't care. What annoys me is when everyone tries to tell me how to lose weight. I know how I just choose not to. Although It would be nice to lose weight I just don't care for it :P

Venya: I love your attitude ^.^

I'm 5 ft 6 and 143lb, it's a healthy weight for my height but I'd be happy to get rid of half a stone or so (8lb). I don't have any body hang-ups, I just want all my more fitted tops to sit smoothly over my back without any hint of little fat rolls just under the back of my bra :ninja:

For some reason, this made me laugh a little, Jelly. :lol:

I'm 5'8 and 105lbs. I lost a bunch of weight due to being sick so I'm grossly skinny right now. I want to get back up to 125 but it's taking forever. I was skinny before I lost that weight and thought it was gross so I pretty much hate how I look now. Not to mention none of my clothes fit me any more.

jellysundae 11-29-2011 11:23 PM

If you had little fat rolls, Nugget, I'd pinch them! :P

Mystic, it sucks when your clothes get that much too big for you, doesn't it : / I was 10lb heavier at my top weight, then I gradually lost 30lb for no reason at all, and everything hung off me like a sack and it pissed me off. That was when I started buying clothes on Ebay! I doubt that I'll ever pay full price for anything ever again now :ninja:

Mystic 11-29-2011 11:25 PM

Yes, thrift stores are like my best friends right now since I do not want to spend too much on clothing that I may not be able to wear long. I'm just hoping that all that weight comes back and I don't lose any more.

Eh... I'm between 5'4 and 5'6. (Haven't checked in a while. I just know that my eleven year old cousin is taller than me.) I weigh about 210 lbs. This being because I have medicine that makes me gain weight when I'm not sick, but when I'm sick I lose weight. Last month I weighed about twenty lbs less than I do now because I've been... relatively healthy compared to a month ago when I couldn't go a week without being sick. Eh, but I'll be losing weight again it seems. No. I don't think I'm fat. Sure, I'm not like... the size of a stick figure on a piece of paper and I'm fine with that. I've got my personality and it works for me.

According to what the school says, or maybe the whole country says, I'm average. Since I'm like 1.4m+ or 1.5m+ 35kg or 36kg is normal.

We're Americans here (or at least I am) so I have no concept of kilograms/meters compared to our version of measurement XD

Sorry, never mind. I understand it now. All the numbers just confused me for a bit :sweat:

I've noticed with people, certain body shapes have a hard time either gaining or losing. Skinny frames have a hard time gaining weight, and large frames have a hard time losing weight.

Either way, it's rare a person is truly happy with their body... That's part of the reason a lot of people diet, exercise, or do body modifications (tattoos, piercings, plastic surgery, etc.)

McNugget 11-30-2011 06:24 AM

^ So very true! So many people tell me they are jealous of my body, but as they admire mine, I admire theirs. Well, mostly, since most of the people who tell me that are usually in the average weight range for themselves, and that's where I wish I was at.

RoadToGallifrey 12-01-2011 04:25 PM

Hm...this is a difficult one for me. There are times when I really wish that I could be slimmer (I would never say skinny, mainly because my bone structure would make me look horrible if I was overly skinny) and there are times where I'm really happy with my weight. I call myself curvy, which people always assume means that I'm fat but in denial. I don't think I'm fat, there is no denying that there is some pudge on my stomach, but I'm a size 14-16 in British clothing, which is the national average. I'm middling in weight, there are a lot of people slimmer and a lot of people curvier. At the moment I'm at the stage where I'm happy with my weight, well, comfortable with it rather than happy.

My ideal size would be either a 10 or a 12 in British sizing, so if I count myself as a 16 and want to go to a 12 I only have to drop down a few sizes, which is easily attainable. In the New Year I am determined to do so by cutting out the junk food in my diet and start going to zumba classes as I've always said I was going to. Though I'm definitely not starting until January, there is no way I could bring myself to diet or anything of the sort at the festive period, December is the only month where I can pig out and genuinely feel no regret.

I also wish that not so much emphasis would be put onto weight by the media, it's horrible that people who are a healthy size feel the need to lose weight just because some model who is horribly thin feels that anyone with a tiny bit of fat is hideous. So many teen eating disorders could be stopped if the media stopped saying that thin is beautiful, because it's possible to look beautiful at any size.
