All my life I’ve been chubby. When I was about 6 and under I was healthy but I ended up getting chubby. I was a chubby kid, a fat preteen, thick teenager and now I’m a chubby/thick young adult. I see these tiny or slender girls in middle and high school. I felt so insecure and BIG. I’ve lost weight but I ended up gaining the weight back. A lot of people say I don’t need to lose weight and I look fine the way I am and I should embrace my thick curvy body. Are the blind? I’m fat! I was down to 18lbs senior year in high school but I’ve gained the weight back because of depression and my old eating habits. I’m 5’8” and 214lbs (gained 10 pounds). My family, we’ll most are discouraging my weight loss and told me taller people need to weigh more than shorter people. I mean that’s true but it doesn’t mean I’m healthy. My doctor said I should aim for 180-185lbs since I have a very thick and wide bone structure. No the BIM said I should be at about 125-158lbs but my doctor said that’s bogus and there’s no point in following that because I’m going to look unhealthy.
I guess overweight is the new body image. Most people think people at a healthy weight are skinny. No they’re jealous and that’s where I want it be.
