"I'm happy with how my body is"

[Red Dawn]

umadbro?

I wish I had a whole basement to myself. I could have a fridge down there and everything.

From not terribly long ago. Haven't changed much.

Why just give up? Seriously being morbidly obese is only going to lead to misery as you get older.

Give up? Who gave up? You have to try something to give up. I have not given up eating and being happy.

 

[Muse]

And the person is overweight. Do you think that means they have given up trying to lose weight? I'm the type of person that is always looking for ways to improve so when I hear something like that it makes me think.

Thoughts?

Makes you think what? I'm taking notes.

Well that pic in your link isn't you at 320, probably 260 so since that pic was taken you gained 60 lbs. Unless you change your life you'll easily hit 4 bills. Right now is the time to do it while you still have youth on your side as it won't be as difficult as it will be 5 or 10 year from now.

260? No. That was at 290, maybe. In fact, a picture a took a few days ago. I'm happy with how I am. You might not be, but then again, you're feelings (nor anybody else's) don't change mine.

Wouldn't you at least like to see what you look like with a neck?

Sure. Go draw me one.

The fact is, you people can't stand it that someone is actually happy with themselves, and I love it. You try and make someone feel bad about themselves in order to change into who you think they should be.
It's comical.

Hey if you're happy being a mess then more power to you.

 

[nageov3t]

I've gone from fat to normal... tbh, my body image hasn't really changed.

but at least now when I'm obsessing over how awful my body looks, I'm not getting winded every time I walk up a flight of stairs.

 

[surfsatwerk]

No sane person can possibly be happy with themselves as an enormous fat ass. Most people become so used to the constant depression and misery caused by the discomfort and shame of obesity that they eventually begin to believe that life has nothing better to offer them.

 

[darkxshade]

I can understand someone being satisfied/content with how they look but I can't comprehend how they could be happy with being unhealthy. It's somewhat of a contradiction.

 

[Eric62]

Personally I think if you can be happy with the way you are, you're way better off.
I'm one of those self obsessed people always trying to get a little more. I'm occasionally happy, but never satisfied...

Before I got hurt in 2003, I weighed about 210. I was in pretty decent shape for a smoker.

Then, after my knee surgery, I quit smoking for 1-1/2 years...and combined with the loss of activity, I gained about 60 lbs. (at one point, I was about 275)

This pic, taken in the spring of 08, I was about the same as I am now...260.

Would I like to get back to about 200? Yes, but with the FUBAR'D back and knee, I can't burn off the calories...and I'm NOT gonna starve myself or forego any of the foods I like, just to get there. (not yet anyway)
(I know losing the weight would be better for the knee and back however...so that's some incentive)

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I'm the most fit I've been in my entire life right now, and I still want to pack on another 5-10 lbs of muscle. People who have care for self-maintenance are disgusting. I just feel depressed if I can't sprint to catch a bus without getting terribly winded.

Dude why do all the old farts use misleading avatars, this should be against the rules :awe:

"What a woman will never say?"

we are playing jeopardy, right?

Like I said, some people prefer to be fat and it makes them happy. There's nothing wrong with that.

People never heard of chubby chasers?

 

[Nik]

But do you think they truly are? Do you think they're telling themselves that because they just don't care anymore? I guess I'm thinking a little psychological right now.

What business of yours is it?

Dood...could it be because there's an odd-looking 4-eyed Ornamental girl inside me trying to get out...or was that a memory from Oldsmoboat's basement? :hmm:

Damn man, yous sayin' you'sa a 4-eyed Ornamental female on the inside... yo that's awesome. Oldsmobile?

 

[StageLeft]

Probably they are lying.

 

[BoomerD]

Damn man, yous sayin' you'sa a 4-eyed Ornamental female on the inside... yo that's awesome. Oldsmobile?

Nah...just that I think maybe she hasn't fully digested yet...and is still trying to get out.

 

[StageLeft]

Content maybe? I don't see the point in being "skinny". In shape, maybe.

"You're going to die an early death."

At least I ate and did whatever I wanted, so I made myself happy.

You probably, if you're being honest, don't even realize how much your quality of life suffers at your weight. Even when I'm holding a modest amount of extra weight I can feel it. I ache more, activities are harder, even getting up off the couch or floor is harder. If you are young you're on borrowed time. And I don't mean you'll die at 62 instead of 80, which you will, but once you're even 30 years old carrying that kind of weight it's just one bad movement some day and you'll burst a disc and then at your extra weight you are basically fvcked. You'll be in agony and so far gone it will be hard as hell to get back to something healthy. Every single kind of medical ailment will be more likely to strike you. And regardless of whether you are supposedly ok with yourself or not having a chronic pain is going to sideline any such notions.
