OP,

Can you wear high heels comfortably?

I am overweight, not obese. So I mean this sincerely:

Do you understand that being obese is going to severely limit your career options?

I think about it all the time

What do you do?

The OP is morbidly obese. If you eat obsessively at McDonald's, you could indeed have her "guts".

I'm not a skinny person, but I find that the women here painting OP as some "superwoman" are a bit lame. The OP is living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle that might very well result in health issues. If you guys really think she is your hero, you should be pushing for her to lose at least 100 lbs.

Do you walk up to overweight people and smell their vagina? How else do you know about their odor?


I unfortunately was close to a similar sized woman who had on a skirt and she bent over near my face (we weren't taking a picture and I was bent down). The sour smell from her vagina (I'm assuming because her legs were rubbing and no air was about to circulate) was so sickening. I always threw up!

I know another fat girl who is a lesbian and she says she always bathes before sex because she gets sweaty/sour.

It's not rocket science. Fat/obese means rubbing thighs...no air circulating. That creates a sweaty, sour effect.

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.


OP, I used to be self conscious too. I was always overweight as a kid and even through adulthood. I work out a lot now and there are a couple things I wish I'd figured out earlier -

1. People who work out at the gym are generally much more concerned about their own bodies than yours. Whether it's one more mile, one more rep, ten more pounds...
2. Starting out at the gym is much harder than keeping it up, in a lot of ways. The first five trips to the gym and much harder than trips 50-55!
3. Weight lifting will really make you much more confident about your body!

When I see someone who is clearly just getting started with a workout routine I want to give them a hug and a high five. I don't judge that 300 lb woman walking 2 MPH on the treadmill. I am proud of her because I know how hard it is to get started.

I really encourage you to lift weights - I have always struggled with my weight and I really started to enjoy exercise when I started weightlifting. I love focusing on what my body can DO and not just what it looks like. It sounds like you're really confident, and you'd like that aspect

Do you want a workout buddy? I live in South Arlington and you sound like you'd be fun to hang out with!


At this point, it really should be about endurance, versus lifting weights. Great, OP will be able to lift a 20 lb weight, but isn't it better to be able to run, get your hearrt rate up, work on your endurance and breathing? Just saying... do not give her the wrong information.


Weightlifting alone is of course insufficient. As is cardio. I'm not giving anyone wrong information, just sharing with her an activity that she might enjoy. People tend to overemphasize cardio (particularly people trying to drop weight) - but it's really not everything.

Sexy comes from inside. If a person is comfortable with herself, she can feel sexy. She doesn't need outside validation that she is, especially from you. Who are you to pass judgment?


Thank you PP

Because I am, that's why. Obese doesn't mean ugly. What makes me sexy? My face, my style, the way I carry myself, my attitude , and my confidence.
Why should I post a picture? So you can scrutinize me? To see if I measure up to your standard of beauty?
I could care less if you buy that I am sexy.


This is what all black women say when they are fat....

Does your bf have a fat girl fetish?


These things are all a part of me. My weight doesn't define who I am. Does your significant other have a skinny person fetish?
Loving a larger woman isn't a fetish. Is he attracted to bigger women? Yes. I won't say BBW I don't care for the term. We don't call skinny women sbw's.
