I'm not proud to be Fat... that's why i monitor my weight and my diet regularly.

There are several reasons why someone is fat, could be genetics, could be hormones, etc.

 

I used to think that since I'm ballooning, there's nothing I can do about it.

 

Then I met some people who shared their stories and I got inspired. I just want to share mine:

 

 

I used to be overweight (I'm still on the heavy side now), but I realized that I want to move faster and be more active. I started exercising last September 2012. Four months into the new lifestyle, I saw results. I lost 20lbs! Even if it was the Christmas season. However, I fell off the wagon from February this year up to August. I started exercising and eating healthier again this September and now I can see results again.

 

I chose to live a healthier lifestyle because I saw results - less asthma attacks, less sleep apnea and I can swim better.

 

The message : Choose to be healthy not because society dictates that you should be slim. Choose to lose weight because you LOVE yourself.

 

Was I proud when I was heavy? I can say I was happy but not proud

 

Am I proud now? Yes, because finally I'm showing myself how much I love myself. Thus it also shows that I love the people that I care about because I want to spend more time with them by making sure that any health risk associated to being fat is greatly reduced.

This was the same message our friend said to us

.. she celebrated a day last week where she lost substantial weight and she is now so much healthier

All of our friends too are proud and happy of her ...

i dont like people who are "proud" to be fat, because that is just their excuse to be lazy and undisciplined.

 

i also dont like people who are in the right weight, and are obsessed about their weight/looks. as a matter of fact, i do not like these group of people more.

 

i have always been struggling with my weight ever since i turned 11 ... i workout regularly, but i have a hard time eating the right food. i am 5'7, and 210 lbs. so i really understand what its like to be fat ... i also dropped down to 150 lbs in 2004 (coming from 220 lbs) ... so i know it is possible, and that it makes life and health better.

 

before i ballooned to 210 lbs (now), i was 170 lbs, and ran 32K last year. i still have the stamina to do it, its just, my knees cant handle the weight, and i would definitely get injured if i do something like that.

 

im still hoping i could really eat right this time and get to 160 lbs

im not fat, i just wanna read fat people stories

I enjoy hearing how they say they have no time to work out at all.

 

 

168 hours in a week.

 

You just have to be in the gym for like 4 times at an hour each.

 

That's like what? 6 percent for the entire week lol.

 

They are just want to keep defending themselves no matter what, that's what is so amusing at times.

I was naturally born skinny but with big bumper.

[minberbe]

NO. with the lifestyle we have today iba na e.

[redthunders]

Mas mataba, mas mayaman. Marami pangbili ng pagkain eh.

[minberbe]

YEs. parang teddy bear.

[The_Medic]

No, risks of diseases and injuries due to the added weight and "reduced" movement are enough disadvantages
