Okay, here I go.
I used to be a provider here (under a different handle) and I was a BBW. Whenever I'd see a thread aimed at fat girls, my respones were very similar to most of these ladies. My argument was that while I was overweight, that did not necesarily mean I was unhealthy. I was active, I ate decently, no high BP etc. In fact, I heard the phrase "You are soooooo pretty for a big girl" more times than I cared to count. I never hurt for business, contrary to what some of you 'fat-girl hating' men like to think.
In January of this year I made a lifestyle change. Not for anyone but myself. I wanted to start playing sports again, so I wanted to work out to get into better shape so I wouldn't be winded within the first 5 minutes of running. I got a personal trainer 2x a week, and worked out by myself 3x a week. I kept a food journal and logged my calories, and really watched what I ate. I tried new foods that I wouldn't have touched before, and fell in love with some of them (Kale! brussel sprouts! spinach! YUM!!)
6 months later, I am down 60 pounds. I look amazing, if I do say so myself
However, do not let anyone tell you it's EASY to lose weight and you're just being lazy. Lazy? yes maybe, but it certainly is not easy. I busted my ass in the gym. I cried, I drenched my clothes in sweat, I was sore, I complained, I tried to come up with excuses, I'd have bad eating days, I struggled, I fought, and it was a hell of a battle. At the end of the day, not ONCE did I ever regret my work out at the gym, no matter how tired I was.
I can sit here today and tell you that I have never
ever ever ever felt as good as I do now, on the inside and out. I used to get plenty of attention from guys (chubby chasers) before, but I get even more attention now, and from guys I'm actually mutually attracted to. My energy levels are unbelievable. My happiness is too. I never realized how unhappy I was, until I reached this point. I thought I was fine with my image and body because I had to be, especially in this business.
With that said, I don't agree with bashing or insulting anyone because of their weight. That is their own business, and if you are not attracted to them, then keep your mouth shut. Fat girls can lose weight, but ugly is forever. If they choose to be 200+lbs then that is their own prerogative. You won't change their minds or eating/excercise habits by calling them names.
Lastly, girls who have eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia are just as unhealthy as those who are obese.
