I enjoyed the previous tongue-in-cheek thread so much (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/show...t=71670&page=3) that I posted a link to it on my blog. One of my friends said something about it that really hit home, though. She said that she had some serious reasons she wanted to stay fat, and that although she was trying to work on them, they were still there. It made me think a lot.
So here is a more serious version of the game. Think about it.
---------------
I want to stay fat because...
I feel safe and secure behind the layer of blubber. No one has to notice me when all they can see is fat.
I am used to the idea of being obese. I am scared of having to re-learn what it is like to be thin.
While I do not think fat is sexy, I'm used to it and so is my husband. The thought of sagging skin grosses me out.
My husband is secure with me at this weight, even though he's extremely supportive of my weight-loss efforts and wants me to be healthy. I do not want him to feel threatened by a trimmer wife who might attract unwanted attention from other males.
I do not want to have to watch everything I eat and think about exercise every day for the rest of my life. If I just go on with my life, nothing will change, but it's much easier.
