Can you name something you think is good about being overweight?

[Anonymous]

I went through a traumatic experience not related to my weight.

Anyway after this traumatic experience for me I lost weight and it made me feel better. I felt like since my weight loss changed my physical appearance it made me feel less stressed to go out in public.
I thought just in case I may run into a person who caused me misery in the past they would be less likely to recognise me now.

Also just related to my question above
Just imagine you went through a traumatic experience.
Do you think changing your physical appearance would help you?
It helped me because it made me feel just in case I accidentally ran into a person who caused me misery in the past they would be less likely to recognise me.

No I can't name a single thing. Being overweight is not good in any way, its a health issue and effects attractiveness as well. So the fact the trauma made you lose that weight is a silver lining in a terrible experience. Personally i'd embrace the weightloss because even in your question it seems like its been making you feel better.

Personally as long as the trauma isn't related to physical apperance I don't think a change in physical apperance would help me but I am not in a situation where my physical apperance is bad for my health.

Acceptance of who you are.

Don't get me wrong. I think everyone should make effort to eat healthy the majority of the time. I think people should have an exercise regimine. But I also think that is where it should END! Obsession about what you are not helps nothing! Life is short enough as is. Why spend it beating yourself up. I promise you, even if you corrected every PERCIEVED flaw about yourself. Someone would still find something about you to make you feel inadequate.

God made you. And God does not make mistakes. You're just as you're supposed to be. Perfectly imperfect.

Being overweight means ugly privileges: I don’t get harassed by random men on the street as often as skinny women. I don’t have to question if my date is faking his personality to get in my pants. I don’t get noticed by salespeople on the street as easily.


Being overweight also means being essentially a human pillow - very soft to hug and cuddle with.

Harder to kidnap I guess. Oh and you're more warm during winter, extra fat makes you heat up - sucks during summer though. There’s not many other positives to being overweight.

I can name the good thing about being overweight, which might be the only good thing and that is that overweight is the body storing fat away in areas around the body because it's consuming more than what it needs, if you ever find yourself in a situation where there's no food, you won't starve to death until your body burns all that extra fat, which is the only good thing about it.
