Skinny/Fit people trying to have Fat people problems

rmsrws

Trust me if I had a choice.......I'd love to feel like I was all that and a bag of chips! But I don't I am insecure, scared and unsure of my body and my confidence. You lose a 150 lbs, it really throws your world off balance....physically and emotionally!!!

When ever I purchase a new dress or clothing I am not sure of, or if I should be wearing, I send a pic of me wearing it to my female friends for approval.....not that I need the boost of confidence, but because of being insecure, and feeling less than adequate for several years of my adult life.

This is a place for support, and understanding....since we all should have the same common goal!

For instance: one guy on here, who is really fit, 6 pack and all, is asking if he should run shirtless or not.

I'm fat I would never think of running shirtless.

So, why make fat people feel bad when you question your six pack body to go on a shirtless run?

Something to consider. Peoples insecurities are their own.
I'm sure Mr. Six pack meant no disrespect.

Just because you think Mr. six pack is in great shape and could get away with running shirtless, doesn't mean Mr. six pack sees it that way.

Hi. I'm Mr. Six pack from the other thread you are talking about. Until the last couple of years I have always been in the extremely overweight/obese category. I apologize for making you feel bad or what you would consider fat shaming. This was nowhere close to the purpose of the thread. My body is relatively new to me and I'm still trying to find my bearings with it after all the hard work I put in. Until recently I was shy to even take my shirt off at the beach or a pool. This is all new to me and I thought my question was valid as to what is acceptable and not douchy to do. You will have to excuse me while I learn.

Quick translation.

It's not meant to be personal, people are allowed to have "fat people problems" whether you think they should or not.

The real enemy is society that equates having any amount of fat to being disgusting, gross and ugly.

Don't apologize you busted your *kitten* and have no reason to apologize, misery loves company and clearly the op is miserable and wants others to be as miserable as him

NO need to apologize. Even after we lose we don't always see things the way they are. Sometimes I still see myself as at my highest weight.

But you have busted your butt. So enjoy. You look great.

It's called myfitnesspal for a reason. If it was just for fat people, they'd call it myfatpersonpal. It's for anyone who wants to improve. If you do well and stay around for maintenance, you may one day be posting a fit person's problem yourself.

Wait, wait, wait... you weren't born looking like Adonis?You mean you are just like us mere mortals with our body consciousness?

PS don't worry about your shirt, not because you're hot but because you have a body, everyone has one. They aren't something to feel shame over. I guess if you were running in a crowded city location, having a shirt on might be helpful if you wanted to like, go in a store or something -- but otherwise, would not wear one.

Being skinny does not equal being confident.

This may be true, but skinny people can tie their shoes and wipe their *kitten* easier than a fat person. That's nothing to do with confidence, it's just how it is. Those are fat people problems.

Fithealthyforlife

The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side.
Most people have insecurities about their bodies.

Personally I would not be caught shirtless in public...I have body hair, you know. And I don't want to shave it.

lithezebra

I think you need to stop thinking that fit people and fat people don't share most of the same problems, or you may be in for a rude awakening when you're fit, which, by the way, I am confident that you can be.

I see where you're coming from, yet confidence doesn't always come with being 'fit' or having a six pack.
Just because you think he looks really good, doesn't mean he thinks he does.

Quite possibly not. That's a cynical way to look at things.

No....hang on a tic. There's something wrong here. Surely you meant to respond with butthurt rage. This reply is completely sensible, mature, and gracious. I'm not certain you belong on these forums sir.

(But seriously though, good on ya man, and congrats for working your *kitten* off and getting where you are.):drinker:

I recall that thread and also wondering how it could possibly be that Mr Sixpack was actually serious in his question. I mean just look at his pic! How could someone not see that they look absolutely incredible? I learned from that, that when I reach goal, I promise myself to own it to the best of my ability. Cheers to Mr. Sixpack and the OP, that you too shall own what you worked hard for :drinker: :flowerforyou:
