Are you ok with being kinda fat?

I’m 65 and I still weigh myself every day and watch what I eat to keep my weight in a certain range.

I’m not sure how ok I am with it… But I suppose I have come to accept it as a fact about me.

No, I can’t tolerate gaining weight. I’m not ok if a waistband gets even the slightest bit snug.

I have such severe body dysmorphia, I haven’t weighed myself in maybe 20 years. This is a thing that can go either way for a person who’s dysmorphic; either step on a scale several times per day, fretting over small fluctuations, or fear the scale with crippling dread.

I am OK with being who I am, whether that be chubby or scrawny or somewhere in between, states I have occupied at various times in my life.

I weigh more now than I like to, but food is just so weirdly delicious that I just kinda deal with it.

Me too, schedule has been kinda crazy for a couple of years. I have some weight to lose but not that much. People say that metabolism changes as you get older and it’s harder to lose weight. I’m calling BS on that. People just get better at justifying little gains here and there and are less willing to do the work to get it off.

No, and neither is my doctor — which is why I just dropped about 50lbs.

@cookieman No more cookies for you!

@janbb: You ain’t kidding sister. :^)

Ironically, I’m at my doctor’a right now for a check up.

@cookieman I could make you brownies instead?

^^^^ @janbb No enabling!

I was fine with being a bit over until I turned out to be a lot over (5 to ten pounds a year adds up quickly). When I had a mini physical and the nurse practitioner said, “you are pre-diabetic”, I had to alter my lifestyle.

Good job @cookieman !
I weigh myself each morning too. If you don’t keep an eye on it, the weight can go up before you know it.

Should we all be staying away from this Jelly?

@janbb: Bad penguin. Naughty penguin.

Thank you @zenvelo and thank you @chyna.

I’m actually not allowed to weigh myself on this diet. My doctor knows, but I cannot. You monitor progress by how your clothes fit. I’m down from a 46 waist to a 40. From a 3XL shirt to an XL.

I’m not ok with it. I’ve been heavier than I want to be for a few years now. I don’t like it. I’m still normal weight I think? Probably, close to the edge. My fat percentage I’m sure is higher than it should be. I worry about my health first, and my vanity second. Regarding vanity I’m more traumatized that I’ve lost so much hair.

@cookieman Good for you! How about some hot avian sex instead of the brownies then?

No. I’ve been skinny my entire life and I couldn’t stand to be fat. I do pay attention to my weight too, probably in a bit obsessive manner sometimes, considering that I’ve never been anything other than skinny.

@janbb: ::blush::

I lost a fair bit of weight about 4 years ago. I have kept it off but fluctuate up and down. I feel better at this weight but I would like to be thinner. I’d like to get my BMI below 25 – I’m around 26.5 at the moment. About a stone (14lb) overweight. I can see that there a few extra pounds around my waist, my arms and my upper thighs.

So the answer to the question is, I suppose, no. I’m not content to be a little bit fat.

No, I am not. I’ve obsessed with my weight since I was about 12 years old. I hate carrying any extra kilos and wish I could get rid of the extra 10kg I’m carrying right now. I feel pudgy and slow and wiggly and giggly and thoroughly unattractive. I’m short and small boned, so any extra weight on me is very noticeable. Blah. And winter is coming, so comfort food and less activity outdoors might make things worse.

Am I ok with it? Of course not! Especially when you have a snot nosed brat for a daughter who’s a size 4 and continues to make remarks about her mother.
My cooking and snacks are one of the very few things I enjoy now the way my life is going. When my s/o is hospitalized I lose weight fast. It is not a happy thing to know for sure that at some point I’ll lose ten pounds or more from the stress of that situation.
The only thing that helps at all is I’m 5’8” tall . The worst part? Not looking good in any outfit of any type or price.

@Aster sorry about what you are going through

I try but no, I like being lean.

Although I have spent most of my life being lean to skinny due to self-starvation, I did pick up weight and become curvy. When I lost that weight at one point I did miss my curves.

Currently, I am overweight by around 6 kgs and I am not happy at all. Mostly for the health issues that it could cause but also because I hate that my favourite clothes do not fit me. It’s my age I am told.

I try to love myself in all my sizes and shapes, it’s not easy!

No, I am not, I exercise and watch my diet to remain fit and trim. I could be huge if I let myself go!
