I wanna stay fat because.....

[lilybelle]

I loved being fat because my 47 inch waist was so sexy.
I loved to hear the sexy grunt when I would sit on my husbands lap.
I loved that getting into a pair of jeans was exercise in itself.
I loved wearing granny panties and long flannel gowns.
I loved that my wardrobe had so few of clothes to choose from.
I especially loved to run into my DH's ex-wife when she had lost 100 lbs. and I was almost 100 lbs. overweight.
I loved going to my son's high school football games and me beiing sweating worse than the players.
I loved having other people stare at my plate when we went out to eat.

I love being fat because it's fun to guess at where my 'bikini line' is when shaving due to the fact that I haven't seen it in 8 years.

I love being fat because having shorts that ride up in public is super sexy!

I love being fat because it's great to hear the GYN say "You really should lose weight." while in the middle of the dreaded exam.

I love being fat because I would have never found these message boards and all you super cool people if I were skinny!!!

[rockinrobin]

Never mind why I love being fat, I LOVE all of you. It is amazing that I can relate to EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WAS WRITTEN HERE, EVERY SINGLE THING. And I had totally given up on flying that's how petrified I was of the dreaded seat belt extender and not fitting into that teeny tiny seat. It's been about 12 or 13 years since I've flown. But maybe, just maybe one day soon.........

I love being fat cause hey what gal wouldn't love being the same weight as professional athletes, think NFL linebackers, NBA centers.

I love being fat so that my husband can sleep at night knowing that his wife will always be faithful.

I love being fat so that when a wedding invitation comes I don't need to worry about buying something new and spending a lot of money.

I love being fat for that oh so special look I get when I go to get my haircut and the girl wonders how she's gonna hoist me up in the chair.

I love being fat cause hey who needs a pair of sexy knee-high boots anyway.

I wanna stay fat because when all my friends are talking about going clothes shopping I actually like feeling like I wanna curl up and die.

I wanna stay fat because I love hearing, "but you don't seem to eat that much"

I wanna stay fat because when the streets are icy I love being terrified that I will slip and fall and G-d forbid break something, that 6 men will have to lift me up. 6 professional athletes that is (see above, you know the NFL linemen and the NBA centers).

That's actually a really good point...as I've thought about it I've realized that while I miss out on alot being fat there are actually a few things that have been if not positive then not totally negative about it....Like all of You!

of course as long as I have you all already...Id like to someday see my bikini line...maybe have someone else see it too.

OK these are fantastic!!!

I have been seriously disturbing my dog's sleep while I keep bursting out in laughter!!!!

-I like being fat because my belly takes away from the enormity of my bustline.

-I wanna stay fat because I love sitting naked in a changeroom crying.

-I like being fat because I love the looks of fear from the salesgirls when I go into regular sized clothing stores. Or better yet when they pretend like they don't see you squeezing between the racks. (I sometimes walk through stores as motivation)

These are all so awesome!! I resonate with all of them.

I used to tell DH when we went hiking that if I fell and broke an ankle he'd have to leave me behind to die because there was NO WAY he was getting me out of there!!

I wanna stay fat because I love having little kids tell me I'm really huge!

I wanna stay fat because I love not being able to sit on the floor for more than five minutes to play with my nieces and my friend's DD's and DS's.

I wanna stay fat because I love picking out clothes with an "X" after the size number.

I wanna stay fat because I love not fitting comfortably in the passenger seat of my DH's car.

I wanna stay fat because I love having my fat overlap on other people on airplanes.

Thanks for this Robin, very therapeutic!

Best. Thread. Ever.


I wanna stay fat because I'm hard to kidnap!! Ain't nobody grabbing my fat butt off the street and stuffing it into a van.

I love being fat, because chub-rub is my favorite feeling.

I love being fat, because being single is AWESOME. Ditto to having 0 confidence to flirt with men. Ditto always being the third wheel. Ditto being told you should lower your standards.

I wanna stay fat because stretch marks are HOT. Seriously, they're the new body art.

I want to stay fat because I like a little mystery in my day (Will I be able to get off that extra low couch? Will I fit through that turnstile? What piece of my wardrobe will be joining most of my clothes in the "will fit again someday" section of the closet?)

BWAHAHA!!! Seriously coffee just went everywhere!

[ChocLabLover]

These are great!

I love being fat so that the only shoes I buy are slip on shoes so I won't have to try and move my belly out of the way to put on shoes.

I love being fat when I go to a play/movies because I LOVE the feeling of my hip/thighs rubbing up against a stranger when we are sitting in the seats

I love being fat because I love going shopping for clothes that were cut from the same pattern as my two man tent.

Fashion is sooo expensive and always changing!
Sweats are timeless ... and cheap!

[2frustrated]

I love dwarfing my school friends in all prom photos

It's fashionable to look like a whale in taffeta...

[kittymuse]

Lisa, you should NOT lower your standards! I want to hunt down whoever said that to you!

Rockinrobin, I hear you on the boots.

I love being fat because my calves are too big for even the "plus calf" boots. I save money because I can never find a pair of boots that fits.

[Calejo]

I love being fat so I can make up new words like "bomach" to describe the solo mound of fat that make up my boobs and stomach.

I love being fat b/c that automatically makes me the "jolly one".

I love being fat so that my skinny friends look even better and do not feel threatened by me at all.

I love being fat so that when guys approach me, they look me in the eyes to avoid looking at my body.

[zoritsa]

I wanna stay fat because being intimate with my husband is so much more adventuresome,and looking in the full length mirror and seeing all that flab is so hot!

I wanna stay fat so I don't have to go snow skiing and have some teeny instructor try to pick me up from off the ground when I fall.

I wanna stay fat so no one bothers me when I'm looking for a certain item in a store and can't find it anywhere.

I love being fat and not having a spot for my son to sit on my lap when he needs to be comforted.

I can totally relate to this. I bring my girl guides out backpacking or canoeing regularly & it is a real concern to me that I absolutely do not get injured. It would be mortifying & potentially dangerous!

[KnitALisa]

Kittymuse: Aww, thanks! Don't worry, I gave her a good whatfor on that. It's like, so I should date men I don't like or find attractive? How is that fair to me? Or to them for that matter!

I love being fat because realizing that ONE of your thighs is bigger than Marilyn Monroe's waist is super flattering!!
