The Fat Thread

any chubby chasers on this board?

Okay, I'll bite...

I have not always been "obese" as the doctor says I am.
As a high schooler I topped out at 125 and college student I never topped 140.

In the early 90's when shopping for wedding dresses I was 145. That's 90 lbs less than I am now. At that time I was told I was too heavy , or fat, for the gowns in the stores. I couldnt try them on.
(I made mine)

I thought I was fat then... like E, I would go back to that stage of "fat" in a heart beat.

I eat because it's an easily social thing to do. I eat when I am depressed, and when I am stressed out.
I eat while watching a movie, and lastly because food tastes good.
I never stopped to think ,"hey, why are you eating, you arent hungry" until recently.

Having been thin for a long period in my life, its awkward for me to think of myself as Fat, however I know that I am.
I however lack the motivation to do anything aobut it.
I wouldnt mind dropping 40 lbs or so, just enough to not see a three digit number that starts with 2..
but I am not motivated to go to the gym, to eat less, or to starve myself.

I no longer eat what my son leaves behind, and that's a huge plus!
But, as society lets me order larger portions, I feel compelled to eat them. As new chocolate comes on the market, I feel compelled to try it!

I too know how to achieve this goal, but I fail to put the plan into action.

(and what would I do if I lost my cleavage??? That thought scares me!!)

My goal is to be able to try on pants at Banana Republic in the store. Being able to get larger sizes online does nothing for my ego.

145 and they told you you were too fat to try on wedding dresses??????????????????? That's revolting. 145 is a pretty normal weight.

When losing weight, you do lose a bit in the boobage, but it looks good, because the muscle under it gets bigger and firmer.

Hang in there! See the new slim you, how good you feel, how it's an excuse to go buy new clothes... (and this from the girl that hates shopping) Find that incentive to get to the gym! Or walk the dog. Whatever.
