    When I was heavier, I was a 30AA. My *kitten* was gigantic, and so were my thighs.

    Now, I'm 12 pants sizes smaller, and I'm a 30AA. My *kitten* is no longer gigantic, and looks proportionate to my chest, and my small nonexistent boobs look like they make sense on my body now, as opposed to before, when I looked like a gigantic toddler.

    My boobs have always been this small :cry:

    So, for me, there was no perk to being big. Even at my largest, I never gained "curves". If I'm going to be flat anyway, I might as well have great abs, slim thighs, and a tight *kitten*, right?

    Same here. The only time I've had boobs is while I've nursed my kids. Which, thankfully, I'm doing now and plan on doing for another year.

    No one expecting me to make healthy choices all the goddamn time.

    ^^ This, for sure. Especially my husband. If I have anything besides chicken fish and veggies he totally questions me as if I have new morals or something lol...

    And this ones kind of weird, but being underestimated. I'm actually a really fast sprinter and because I'm chubby people just don't think I have it in me. Girls in soccer and track were always shocked when they saw me run. It was always hilarious and a high to see people feel stupid hahaha

    My boobs are bigger.....:ohwell:

    Yep, that's about it.

    Yep, that's about it - but because I was so fat it wasn't noticeable anyway. My backside was fatter so it was more comfy sitting - if I could fit into the chair ...

    1.The boobs were bigger
    2. I ate everything I wanted any time I wanted as much as I wanted and I never ever thought about anything more than how good it tasted
    3. I was warmer
    4. Seats were not as hard
    5. I had a fantastic wardrobe that took me years to acquire
    6. Rings didn't roll around on my fingers
    7. My boys loved the way I cooked (deepfried everything that wouldn't fight back)


    Still the list for being thin is much longer and worth the loss of everyone of these.

    Being tall-ish and fat made me feel safer when it came to traveling by myself in foreign countries and different cultures. I surely wasn't as much of a target of unwanted male attention/sexual harassment, as I didn't get into any of the troubling situations that some of the more petite women I met on my travels had experienced.

    That's a pretty ****ed up thing to 'like' about being overweight, jesus :indifferent:

    I actually prefer being a little overweight because I like bigger boobs and butt over ripped abs. I work out a lot and have great vitals, so I'm just going to stay here or within 20 pounds. I don't want to get to my goal weight any more. I feel sexier like this and I notice when I look at other chicks, I never think the thin ones are what I want to look like.

    I get more compliments when I am a combo of athletic and curvy than just thinner. I would just like to lose some more of my belly though.

    I don't feel stressed about my calories, and in fact, I don't count them. I just try to eat pretty healthy and stay active. I feel "normal," not precarious. When I'm thinner I always feel there's no room for error and I'm very stressed all the time about it.

    This is my goal mindset (which is more important than my goal weight) Happy you've reached it! :drinker:

    Some girls and women need to take notes on this. You sound very secure in your own body and don't feel forced to fit the "mold" :flowerforyou:

    Thanks! I think if we focus more on our health stats and what our bodies can DO, like setting fitness goals that are not appearance-related, we feel happier and more confident. Then, usually weight follows for the most part, to a certain level of equilibrium. Some people do need to get their vitals more in check and weight loss can definitely help with that. So, maybe one person's goal is being able to walk a mile each day and another person's is training for a marathon. You can have functional goals at any size!

    I've always had huge boobs, so I can't use that as a benefit. :P

    I can totally play the "I'm fat and therefore weak" card (which is total BS) when I don't feel like doing things.

    I get to shock the hell out of people when I can do more than they expect.

    No one picks fights with a fat girl.

    People trust me to make their food decisions, because clearly I like food.

    I agree though. I felt safer when I blended into the background more. Maybe I'm just not used to the extra attention yet, but it kind of weirds me out.

    I'm 6'4 about 235 and one thing is people normally don't mess and people feel safe around me but I always let people know if someone pulls out a weapon they're on their own though

    Pretty much hits the nail on the head for me. At my largest, I was 38DD and am now 32D -- proportion fits just fine, so, boob-lose isn't too much of a complaint, but #'s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are right on. (I never did deep-fry anything before)

    That being said, ditto, too, on my list for being thin being worth the loss of each of these curvy-less items., but that wasn't really the point of the OP's curiosity, was it?

    My calves were always muscular, but back then they used to be in proportion to my waist according to most clothing manufacturers. Now, in order to buy "straight-cut" or "skinny-cut" pants/jeans/capri, I have to buy at least a size 10 to fit my calves and have the pants altered to fit my size 6 waist or IF there is a "boot-cut" version available, buy it in size 6 and have the below-knee portion taken in. I've found that not all pants & shorts look as good taken in as originally designed.

    Big does not equate to being curvy. Being curvy is the hourglass shape which you can have at any size whether thin, average, overweight, etc. So quit using curvy as a replacement for the word big if you are not technically curvy.

    good luck with that.
    about 70% of women classify themselves as "hourglasses" when in truth only about 8% actually are.

    don't think I ever was "big", curvy, chubby, chunky, fat even, but not "big" as I'm 5'3"
    I've always been cold, at any weight.

    so I guess I have to say boobs like everyone else, but so far, even when thin, I've never been smaller than a GG yet.

    I could sit at my desk for hours without my butt getting sore- all that cushioning! Now if I sit too long, the darn thing feels like it's going to go numb.

    Fat people are harder to kidnap. :happy:

    Yes, but it's also harder for us to run from the police. :) That probably kept me in line during college. LOL

    Well, it's easier being fat. Not as much work.

    The only thing good about being fat was that it was easier to hide like people would look over you , past you, not really pay any attention to you at all, with the weight loss people notice you.

    Don't get me wrong being noticed is good but there are times when you just want to be invisible.

    I've actually developed the right kind of curves with my weight loss, my boobs are still there not as big but big enough, I have a nice butt but that is the squats, I owe it to them lol.

    Now for your question, the only thing I can think of that was good about being obese was, I didn't get cold as much as I do now. I can't warm up unless I run or workout.

    I really just enjoy having curves because I think a curvy figure is beautiful. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I really hope I don't lose my curvy physique. My bust line and hips are the same measurement, and my waist is almost 10 inches smaller. I like that :)

    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:



    My boobs feel huge as I get smaller! Weird.

    Not getting cold as easily!! My hands hands and feet are always cold indoors and I can't tolerate temperatures below 70 without a coat D: This is one of the main reasons I'm moving out of Michigan and to a warmer state this year lol
