What’s the point of trying to lose weight when thick is in or people are trying to gain weight nowadays?

[Anonymous]

All of my life, I’ve been a bigger girl. I was a thick child, a chubby/fat teenager and I’m a chubby curvy woman. I lost weight before but I gained the weight back. Some of my relatives didn’t like that I was losing weight and told me I don’t need to lose anything and women need weight on them. I get reminded that I’m a tall girl and I need to weigh more than shorter woman. I went from 238 to 179. I’m 6’0”. One of my cousins said she never thought I was fat in the first place so why bother losing weight. She said I’m “6’3” so I need to have weight in me. I corrected her that I’m 6’0” but she didn’t answer back (moms side of the family is short) Plus a lot of men prefer women my size over a skinny/thin girl. I thought that’s what guys wanted.
I am currently 229lbs. I have huge knees, thighs, I hate my big calf’s. I’m just so big. My friend who is 5’6” and naturally thin said she has been trying to put on weight for YEARS. And not every thin women likes being thin. It’s hell. She said, “Girl I’ll never look like you! I KILL for those curves! Plus I wish I had big calf. Plus you’re very tall and curvy. Girl so many women wish they look like you. Why do you think most women are jealous of YOU?”

I didn’t think women and girls would be jealous of me. I’m jealous of smaller, slimmer women. It actually shocked me when thin or slim girls HATE their slim legs and body and wishes they were thicker. My girl pal from high school gained so much weight and she said she feels happier and more confident than she did when she was skinny. She HATED her skinny body, legs, flat belly everything. She has been trying to put on weight for years too and she’s happier thicker. She said she went from 90lbs to 125. She’s 4’10”. Former thin or slim are getting THICK. Nothing wrong with that. My friends said don’t lose any weight because I look really good and women wish they had my thick curvy body. Plus I’m very tall.

I’ve never had a flat belly. I take it back, I did when I was 179. People said I looked sick at 179. My cousin who is 5’9 (approx 150) is naturally slim and people don’t say anything to her. I do have a larger/wider body frame.
6’0” and 229lbs isn’t healthy

Tall or not, being overweight is not healthy. You may not feel it now because you're still young, but you will start to feel it at my age. Even being thin, you still have backaches and pains in places you thought you would never have in your 30s. It's even worse when you're overweight. And your metabolism starts to slow down so the weight will just continue to pile on. And before you know it you'll be 400lbs in your 40s wishing you had gotten healthy while you were still young. Don't be that girl.

Being overweight and obese is not in. Never has and never will be.

Please take better care of your health. Workout as much as you can and eat healthier because your body is a temple.

That’s what I’m doing, despite of people’s opinions. There’s so many thin women that are trying to gain weight. If they’re underweight, I understand that but why do normal women want to gain weight. former thin girls at my high school REALLY gained a lot of weight. Some say they feel better than when they were thin and HATED their thin legs. I would LOVE to have thin legs! My best friend used to cry over her thin legs and wished for. Bigger legs. I told her stop bitching and I HATE my huge legs and calfs. I don’t understand why thin girls want big calf’s. She said having thin legs isn’t all that great and she looks like a scarecrow and a have no meat on herself.

I have several girlfriends who all gained weight either from having children or the depo shot and they used to be really thin and wished to be curvy and now that they are they regret it. I'm telling you now when you get in your 30s and 40s, you will be wishing to be at a normal weight. There are so many health risks to being overweight in your 30s and 40s and beyond.

It depends on how you want your body to look. Personally I've tried for years to hold onto weight. I look bad when skinny so it depends which way you naturally look better

So many women are gaining so much weight! What gives? If they’re underweight I understand but I’m talking about slim women. I always wished to be thin but my former skinny best friend said it’s not all that great and she looked like a scarecrow, and complained about her skinny legs and shopping sucks. She said she wishes to put on weight and fill out. She said she looks so much better and more confident in shorts than she did when she was skinny.
I’m a large big girl and I was always jealous of thin women. What’s the point of trying to be slim when women nowadays are thick or trying to get bigger. Men are allowed to be thin so why can’t women?

Thick is not fat, its just gen z's word for voluptuous.
99% of the tesults are AI images and I'm not going to spend an hour trying to find a real example for you, but this is the thick/thicc/voluptuous body shape.

This is very popular

Obesity on the otherhand is ugly.

I think that when people refer to the positive type of thick physique, they're referring to women who are at a heathy bodyfat percentage with just a good amount of muscle mass.

Big woman here , I am talking to a guy rn and he seems nice but doesn’t know my weight , I’ve been ghosted several times and had one dude say that I looked pregnant , so men do want skinny chicks , even if they themselves are fat. There’s a growing community for bigger women in the past few years tho , so there’s hope for people like us. Always remember people can lose weight , but stupid is forever , don’t let them bother ya too much.

Its healthier not to be overweight, neither is thick in that's just cope from the fat acceptance movement.

Being thick and being fat are two different things. Most women are more healthy when thick. Women are never suppose to look thin/skinny its bad for our health/cycles

[Asker]

@Apple1996 what do you mean we’re supposed to be thick? What if women are naturally thin?

[Asker]

@Apple1996 so men and boys are ALLOWED to be thin?

[WonderingManII]

Thick and fat are not exactly the same thing. Thick looks good. Fat doesn't.

[jahaims]

Yeah, who wants to be healthy. It's much better to be unhealthy and cool.
