Looks

[Empired]

here's a thing I want to ask fat ppl: do u ever wonder what ur face would look like at a healthy weight? Like i see some fat ppl who just look the same and don't really have features under their blub. like, some ppl will never see what they rly look like/can look like?? that would make me wtf n lose weight prompto

My face doesn't really have much fat round it as I've got a body shape that's closest to a pear I guess so no double chins for me thank GOD. But I do find myself looking in the mirror a lot like pulling back the sides of my face to see what I would look like if I had less fat. Do it with my arms as well; pinch fat out from under them to see what they'd look like if they were skinnier.

Do you wonder what you'd look like with a fuller face?

In fairness, it's not just a case of eating too much. Obviously the only way to get fat is to eat more food than your body needs, but there is often a reason behind eating too much that is not so simple to cure and you won't be able to stop until that reason is sorted out. And the reason often leads you into a horrible spiral where you can't get out. For example:

Low self confidence > a small amount of teasing gets you very upset > comfort eating > putting on weight > more teasing > lower self confidence > comfort eating > putting on weight > more teasing > lower self confidence > etc

So just saying "eat less" is SO much easier said than done.

well of course it's hard nobody says its easy!

but eating less and moving more is how you lose weight. a lot of fat people just won't accept personal responsibility and try to blame it on a host of things. at the end of the day if you're shovelling food down your gullet and sitting around being a couch slug then its nobody's fault other than your own.

oh lucky, if i was to be bigger id hope to be a pear tbh! I just wonder how rly obese people like those girls in the video posted would look healthy yet some of them will be fat from birth to death so will never know.

nope, my weight already goes to my face lol iv got chubby cheeks and i can make myself have a double chin so wouldn't be hard to imagine!! i have actually been called chubby/fat on here by ppl who haven't seen my body lol.

I always wonder what I'll look like if I changed my lifestyle and became a healthier weight, and I get motivated for about a week, and then return to my usual lazy self. I'm like Empired, I play around with my arm flab lots, fun. I am aware that I am fat, but it's just a description of myself. It's derogatory, but with good reason, you shouldn't be told otherwise, because at the end of the day, you will still be fat. Like everyone else has said, attractiveness doesn't rely on weight, but it is a contributing factor to your appeal to others.

There are medical conditions that lead to weight gain, but if you are personally offended by the idea of someone calling you fat, then you also need to put a bit more effort into the losing of the extra weight. Cutting out problem food groups can also help.

I'm not sure calling yourself fat/ugly classes as bullying though, are you suggesting that? idk anymore.

Still not that simple, I don't think. I don't want to sound whiney or like I just constantly feel sorry for myself because it's not like that even if I might be coming off this way.

I know that more exercise would help me lose weight and I love to exercise so it's not even like I can't be bothered or I just don't want to. I can't stand to exercise (particularly in exercise clothing and stuff) anymore because of bad experiences from the past. I was going to mention them in here but actually that isn't a lot of fun so I won't be doing that.

But basically I know those people who were horrible about me when I was exercising (it's happened out on the streets, in the park and at the gym) were just stupid and mean for no reason but I guess it's some sort of self preservation that means I never want to put myself in a situation where I'm vulnerable to those kinds of remarks ever again.

Of course some people are fat, fat is a physical descriptor just like short blonde black hairy wrinkly etc

[dbgtz]

Well I can assure you that its FUN-IS-MY-ME. Also for example, I know someone who eats healthy, exercises, portion controls but still puts weight on, there is a proper name for it but I'm not sure as to what it is at this moment in time.

Then clearly (s)he's eating more than she needs.

Only a couple of pounds at most, there's nothing that outright makes people overweight.

Why not at home? Buy a skipping rope or something. Boom-bam. Then you'll get to a point when remarks are made more infrequently.

As long as you're happy and not in any serious health problems don't give a **** about what anyone else has to say xo

If you're fat and happy great. If you're fat and sad, try and fix it. Just werk whatever

Doesn't help that my mother makes the same comments lol and she's not so easy to avoid Also I've tried numerous before but it's incredibly hard to keep yourself motivated when you're on your own in a room all the time. I would love a buddy who wants/needs to lose weight as well and we could team up and work together but I don't actually know anyone who's up for that.

Yeah, of course it isn't a definitive factor in being overweight, just a contributing one. Similarly, there are also conditions which make it harder to lose weight. Thyroid issues for example can make the process of losing weight a little bit harder. No where near impossible, just harder.

Motivation is the hardest part of the process I think. Being laughed at for wanting to lose weight doesn't help either. I used to go running with my little brother before uni started and I'd get laughed at even though I was a lot skinnier than I am now, because I'd jiggle a little bit more than he would. It just becomes embarrassing.

Lauren just bought an exercise bike and I'm trying to reduce dairy in my diet, so I'm drinking soya milk etc. Baby steps.
