Benefits/ lessons learned from being fat?

Clearly were all here because we want to lose weight or have lost it. But is there/ was there a benefit from being fat? We all know theres a lot more neg. stuff and ive previously written about my horror stories .Do you have any positive experiences? For example, I have a built in BS detector or I can see things from different perspectives OR I think I know how men or people in general really are. Whats your positive fat experience?
