in Chit-Chat
We always talk about and hear why it sucks to be a bigger person. I would like to hear what you liked about being big. Yes, I know we are here to lose weight and become healthier but let’s have a little fun with it. I will give you some of my reasons why I like being a big guy.

1. People don’t really mess with me in a negative way. I have never been in a fight and I am always the guy people call if they need someone to back them up. I like that.

2. People always want to feed me. Yes, I have had to fight that now, but it was kind of being the taste tester.


I can think of a few more reasons, but I would like to hear yours, if you have any. Please keep this light hearted and fun.

    Where to begin.. Oh just good things? lol well

    1. Growing up I also rarely got into fights. I think my weight along with my height made me look intimidating to some and I never liked to fight because really it does hurt, lmao.

    2. I believe being big helped me learn to become a better person to other people. Beiong able to see the wide spectrrum of haters out there gave me insight on how to not be a hater. I feel it gave me an advantage to grow up quicker than other guys in a very mature and gentlemanly like fashion. It put me in the position to learn form other peoples actions/mistakes instead of my own when it came to relationships.

    3. Yes, like you. Everyone wanted to feed me, LOL! Especially my best friends mom. Always love to make perogues for us. My whole family, when they made me a plate of food at whatever event.The plate was really hearty, lol.

    4. At times more oftehn than not, it was pretty awesome to be that big. Participated in lots of basketball, football in my teens / 20's and my weight was such a great advantage on the football field and below the rim when I had to box people out, lol. I remember once when I was 19 I played a pick up game of tackle football vs. a local park district and another big guy on the opposing team made a deal with me before the game. The deal was, on the opening kick off, we would go heads up like you would see 2 mountain rams go head to head, lmao. What where we thinking. Anyway he wasn't as heavy as I was but much taller and very much in shape. We collided mid-field not even caring where the football was and led to be the best part of the game. When we collided I closed my eyes and lowered my head and I think he did the same but too late. Everryone said I launched him at least 6 feet back and took him out for the game, lmao. Funniest athletic moment of my life.

    5. I managed to gain ALOT of VERY good friends that I still talk to today and even though I'm no longer 400 plus lbs they still call me "poppa bear" and 'big papa'. Not insulting at all and it gives me good vibes as it leads to thoughts of yester-year.

    Not sure I can go on anymore about what was good as a heffer and I'm pretty much babbling now so I will end here :) The tings is I'm sure all the bad outweighed the good in the end when it comes down to it. Morbid Obesity wasn't such a gerat idea on my part wish I had solid guidance back then. So much I could have done.

    I love all my curves....except my belly. I hope I do not lose my bottom, but seeing as it is mostly muscle already it has not shrunk just lifted back to where it was in my twenties. :flowerforyou:

    When I was a bit bigger I didn't get men harrassing me on the street. Now that I have lost about 20kg since last summer I get that again and I really, really hate it so much!

    The ladies have shrunk (a lot!) but even more - I miss my insulation - I am cold all the time!! I never used to need even a long sleeved shirt, now I need a long sleeved shirt over a thermal shirt and under a sweatshirt - only time I'm warm, working out :sad:

    Boobs.

    I've always had a butt though, even as a 100lb ballerina.

    Ready to turn my overstuffed 36D+ back into a 34B though.

    This may be a result of still being on a long term caloric deficit. I am very small and have a fast metabolism and I am almost always very warm and generate heat (my husband snuggles up to me for warmth). When I am exposed to actual, true cold, I do get very cold and shake/shiver, teeth chattering (more than most people), but it warms me up and then I feel comfortable.

    I agree with this, I do get colder than I used to when it is ACTUALLY cold right now, but when I was on a long term VLC diet, I was constantly freezing, even when other people were warm. I am normal now, I think, if anything back to being warmer than some people.

    boobs. butt. and the time spent to push myself to be more outgoing, friendly, funny and charming. (most) guys will go talk to a thin girl with no problem - i had to make them want to talk to me, so i had to offer more, personality wise.

    also, i'm almost always warm :)

    A lot of girls are saying that theyre boobs got smaller, but when i lost some weight my boobs got bigger- or i just measured wrong but originally i was a 36D, now a 36DD !! I'm cool with that, but being bigger i wouldn't say less fights for me, maybe because I am a female but I actually got into a lot of them, but on the plus side I always won them :wink:

    I even gotten into a fist fight with a guy because he kept calling me a fat *kitten*, and I just said oh yeah? watch this fatass kick yours! and i did :wink: almost got into big big trouble, but eventually he was embarrassed and let it go lol....

    i've always been kind of average with a little extra (all belly), but I also know how to feels to be ridiculed and know to not EVER ask a woman if she's pregnant unless I know them!!! THAT people have asked me a couple times and right then and there was when I would be like OH HELL NO!!! time to lose some weight!!! Very hurtful, but I know with the people who have asked it was not intentional so I only had myself to blame. When it comes down to I was pretty comfortable with myself at 5'10 170lbs and never with a flat stomach, but i got to 200lbs and hated life i am now at 185lbs and trying to get back to 170lbs!!! so I have pretty mixed feelings on it but miss my 170lbs flat stomach or not!!! :happy:

    I really miss my butt. My son told me I am now a flatback. I was confused. He said it is a person with no but. I am very sad about this. I really enjoyed my butt. Plus my boobs have gone from a F cup to a DD. If they shrink anymore I might cry.

    I would imagine hips and butt because if i was curvy that's what i'd want.

    <~~~ Black girl with no hips or butt :grumble:
