My friend Dan wrote for the Village voice " ask a guy who likes fat chicks". He is sane, normal, and an overall awesome person. He is just attracted to fat women. There are plenty of "normal" guys just like him. Like I said before I want to lose weight soley for health reasons. I don't think I'm at a healthy weight. That said I'm not going to hate my body because it's not perfect. Yes I am sexy, yes I am beautiful, I'm fun to be around, I'm caring, and deserving of love.

I'm glad that you met a nice, normal guy who can appreciate you and is attracted to you. You are right that you are desrving of love. However, I don't think that there are "plenty" of normal guys that are attracted to overweight women. Yes, there are certainly a few, but most men are attracted to average to thin women, just as most women are attracted to average-sized men. It definitely makes the dating pool smaller if you are severely overweight. That's not a reason to feel bad about yourself, it sounds like you have found someone great, but to deny that this is the case doesn't make sense.

I see it as a fetish. If he usually dates bigger women, it's a fetish. Just like some men only date midgets. I doubt that guy just so happened to run into a lot of midgets... He seeks them.

Yes, every man dating a larger woman has a fetish.....

Guess most men have this fetish then since 70% of americans are obese.

being fat is not healthy.

you can explain all you want about how traffic supposedly stops for you when you wabble down the street or how your current husband/or man is so supportive of you that he packs your purse with snacks when yall go out.

bottom line your health is at risk being fat. be happy with yourself and content with your looks/figure but know you have to maintain some level of health so you can live longer

I know, right? The OP hasn't addressed pursuing a healthier lifestyle AT ALL!

It's amazing to see how much anger/hatred there is on this thread.

Honestly, for all the minority groups out there who think they are discriminated against, just read this thread compared to the others. All the others keep some semblance of respect - even if it gets a little heated. On here? BAM right out of the gate you have a lot of posters giving the OP their opinions of her without holding back or using common courtesy. Talk about blatant discrimination. And for everyone who gives an excuse for it (she did it to herself, she wasn't born that way...whatever) it doesn't give you a pass to discriminate.

get the million fat march started

unlike a fat person a black person cant "lose black" or a gay person cant "lose gay" but a fat person can sure lose some weight and/or get on a plan that maintains a healthy life.

this isnt to say they need to look like a model cause im sure all of us saying something dont look like a hollywood star. regardless excusing being fat and enjoying eating and gorging isnt going to get sympathy from most people

See, I knew that would be the first "excuse." Like I said, in my pp, just because she can lose it, shouldn't give you a right to be rude, mean, a bully and discriminate against her. And she wasn't posting to get sympathy - WTH did you get that from? she said "ask me anything" she didn't say "poor me, I'm fat." But again, you just proved my point - fat people are probably the group thats discriminated against the most.

i actually have the original poster credit in the first few pages with being ok with her being fat.

browsing through the pages it seems like some other people were excusing and embracing being large a bit too much. maybe i read wrong.

either way i said what i said..

Here's the thing. I'm not fat at all, but I'm definitely out of shape. I don't hate myself for it, I don't feel like I am undeserving of love, and my husband seems to be reasonably attacted to me. That's not the same as saying I embrace being out of shape, or tons of guys are hot for me because I'm out of shape, or men love out of shape women. I wish I could be in better shape so that I could look better and be healthier. Overweight people should respect and like themselves, but I don't understand the concept of "embracing" being overweight. It isn't healthy for you. It also isn't what is generally considered sexually attractive in our society. I am sure there is a small subset of people who find it attractive, and if the person finds themself attractive, that's great.

No. I am one of those people who starts and then stops. I feel very self conscious when I go to the gym.
I do walk a mile or two 5 days a week.

If you're serious about losing weight, you need to work out regularly. You can do DVDs at home.

Sigh. It isn't exercise that leads to weight loss. That's been proven over and over and over. Weight maintenance, for stress relief, for healing depression, for blood sugar regulation, for fun, sure. But not weight loss.

At least get your insults correct, dip-shit. It's WADDLE or WOBBLE. Not WABBLE.
