    10 Things I like:

    1. Food. Eating as much of anything I like to the point of "Ooooooohhhh Man, this tastes sooooooo good", and then licking the plate clean.

    2. Not feeling like I need to give a stuff about how I look.

    3. Wearing loose fitting clothing and not worrying that it might make me look fat.

    4. The sense of feeling 'safe', because people often don't notice you.

    5. Being able to try new and interesting foods without worrying about how many calories.

    6. Partying with friends and being relaxed about not having to worry about the scales.

    7. An excuse not to expose my body in a swimsuit!

    8. Having room for both the dog and the cat to use me as a pillow while watching TV.

    9. A stable work area for the lap top.

    10. Because people tend to notice your personality more, and like you for you!

    There are plenty of reasons why I hate being fat...but that list would have been too easy to compile.

    to Laces out - You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but if you go through life only looking for perfect or near perfect physical characteristics, you might miss out on some wonderful relationships (or just one truly wonderful relationship if your eyes had been open to the real person not just the physical manifestation). The evidence of that is clear here on this site when I see all the wonderful transformations. Those people were always the same awesome and beautiful people, so what's different? Just the physical body - the real person has always been there. I hope you will start looking at the real person imprisoned in a fat body and see their beautiful character. :flowerforyou:

    i understand what you are saying and had hoped my comments didnt come out too harsh. we are all here because we are too fat right? I look at myself and other fat people as if we are addicted to an unhealthy lifestyle similar to alcoholics for example. we are all seriously hurting our health and shortening our lifespans and severely limiting our quality of life. and i am not talking about people who are a few pounds over weight i am talking about people how are obese/morbidly obese(like me). if/when i get myself back to a healthy state i wouldnt want to get involved with someone who wasnt looking at life like i was at that time. and to be completely honest, i'm 40 and single, i dont have time to wait and see if someone will change their life. maybe if i was 20....anyone know where the fountain of youth is? :)

    that was a great read. this was my favorite part of your blog "The weight wasn't put on "by Christmas" and it isn't going to be taken off "by Christmas."

    I have one thing I like!

    I'm always snuggly warm in the winter. Fat is amazing insulation! So, so cold now that I've lost five stone.

    However I think I'll settle for being a bit chilly; the benefits far far far outweigh the costs.
