    Nothing.. except teasing but that's it. Stress and laziness are my reason for overweight... but I have large bone structure.. my chest is bigger than my waist and easy to grow muscles too.. so besides looking from the sides.. I look bulky but not overweight.

    I can be called overweight but not obese. I can always go for my technique 'The water plan' where my weight can be drastically reduced at a cost for my health. But i'm not worried for my weight since there are advantages and disadvantages for being overweight. Though it doesn't hinder me while also giving me more density to witstand falling and collision. But it also has a downsides as being more unlikely hateful to heat and less likely to go out in a sunny day.

    Overall...

    Why the fck am i so into writing such detail words when my english skills suck?!

    I would say the hardest thing about being over weight is the rampant discrimination. It is the one major handicap in life where complete strangers feel totally justified incoming up and lecturing you about your “health choices” when they have a donut in their hand and you have a green salad, no dressing. I have spent my whole life 30 to 50lb heavier than all my friends while eating half as much and exercise twice as much. I have always made healthy food choices, looked for better ways to take care of my self. I would say I expend much more effort and work much harder on keeping healthy than almost anyone I know, Yet, even people that know me will single me out to give additional advice or tough love. I’ve had people that claimed to be my friends come up and take food off my plate or worse things Because I obviously had enough on Me to keep going.

    It’s almost impossible to go to the doctor. It doesn’t matter what problem I go in with. The first two minutes are listening to me about my flu like symptoms or what ever and then the next twelve about my new diet health plan they want me to go on. I’ve had visits where they never addressed the problem I came in for at all and yet I was expected to pay for that!

    It’s heart breaking to see my heavier friends tell people that they are comfortable in their own skin. Or I’ve chosen to be happy. Mostly they are just putting on a happy face while crying alone, because no matter what most truly heavy people try, Nothing changes. And then here they are putting on a strong face and trying to move forward and some jack ass comes and tells them they are just making excuses and if they just get off their lazy asses everything would suddenly be perfect and they’d look like Angelina Jolie. I want to punch those people in the face.

    I don’t know why some people accumulate weight. And from what I’ve researched. No one does. All my extended family are heavy. When I was a teen I asked my 90 year old greatgrandmother about her weight. At the time she was quite slender. She told me that she had always been a “big girl” that it wasn’t until she got pneumonia in her 80’s and almost died that the weight finally came off. But she also said that though she was thin, she never felt healthy or strong again. I worked in medicine for a while and also found a strong trend with many having surgery. many just never felt right again. I have one slender aunt. I asked her once why she was thinner. So told me it was because she wasn’t as healthy as her brothers and sisters. She was thin because she was sick so much more than them. This changed my outlook on things. Sure. Some thin people are healthy, but not all. It’s just if your fat, that’s the reason everyone blames for everything bad in your life. Not enough money in the back, oh, it’s cause your fat. Depressed, fat. Low grades, fat. Unhappy at work, fat. Divorced, Fat. All this stuff happens to thin people too.

    So I have tried fasting, Atkins, ketogenic, and so many more. But I was strongly effected by those who lost their health in pursuit of a ‘health weight’. I have always been careful. Because first and foremost is my own well being. I choose me. Regardless of what others think or say. This is the place I live. This is the mind and body I have and will have. I want that to be a place where I have peace and happiness. There will always be some one outside of me who will second guess my choices but they are not me. They do not have to live with those choices. I do. So I choose to think well of me no matter what.

    I know this was long. But if you want really info about what it’s really like. You won’t get anything more real than this

    I, too, have friends who eat twice the amount than me but they don't gain weight that much. I gain weight easier compared to them if I eat the same amount of food consumed by them :blobneutral:

    Clothes shopping isn’t a problem. I do almost all of my shopping online. There are more plus size retailers than you could imagine! Even most regular brands go to a size 22/24 which is big enough for me at least. Lots of nice looking clothes too. In the 90’s it was hard to find anything that wasn’t black and fit like a paper bag. But now I would say I look good.

    One of my closest friends is a size 2. We went everywhere together for a while. She eats 3 times what I do. There is almost never a moment she doesn’t have food in her hand. It’s crazy. I love her though.

    Yes they do. Imagine being healthy and perfectly fine. You have a good job, or good grades at school, a nice boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife, etc.

    But suddenly someone close to you died. Then, you bf/gf, hubby/wifey breaks up with you. Then your life starts spiraling down.

    You're more stressed, an crying all the time and it starts to feel numb. Then you lose control over everything and you're not sleeping enough. An you end up losing 50 ponds by the time you move past.

    Or you were just dumped and you tart eating I fill you're grief. Like start splurging on ice cream and chocolates and not move, you know etc.

    Overall, emotions do effect your life so try to stay positive in life.
    Diet, yes.

    However, it's mainly to help my body stay healthy as I'm pretty insecure about my boy at times. I'm in perfect shape yet I still think about how I could be skinnier and how my thighs and calfs are too fat. And the slightly excess fat around my waist and arm. And how if I didn't do this or do that and how I should've done this instead I would have been skinnier or u wouldn't have that extra fat.

    Anyway, I don't go majorly into dieting. I usually eat all the stuff I need. Like enough water (though I should drink more, I try) or have enough vitamins and am eating a proper balance of foods

    Justifying emotions is the trends nowadays. Don't get caught in it. Use logic.

    Thicker, sturdier and bigger chairs are often needed for the overweight guys.
