Are you fat and if so why?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

At 22 stones, I'd have to say, yes. What happened? 12 happened. I hit puberty and the hormones kicked in. I was a thin child but after 12 I just got bigger and bigger and nothing worked.

It's a combination of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - I have bodily acne, I can't have children and I have had to shave every two-three days since I was 14) and I suspect I may have Prader-Willi Syndrome - I may ask the doctor next time I go to have the PCOS reassessed.

I have the largest appetite of anyone I know. Breakfast this morning (after I got in from a nightshift and was famished) was a thick and fluffy 12 inch diametre stottie (round bread cake) with a whole chunk (about 1lb) of cheese, tomato and Branston ... nuked, I love it.

I went to sleep and when I woke up, I had my tea. A two-pint basin of spaghetti bolognaise with a couple of pints of cola and no. I wasn't full.

I am rarely full after I've eaten, which is why I'm leaning towards Prader-Willi's. I eat and then want more.

I actually laughed in the doctor's face when she told me that an adult portion of Weetabix was ... two. I believe I'd had seven that morning, then it was her turn to be flabbergasted.

I hate fried food, never eat takeaways. My favourite food is salad and I make all my own meals (I could never survive on the tiny ready meal portions). As for exersize ... I'm a carer, we never sit down during the day and during the night, although we do sit down, we still spend about 7-8 hours a night on our feet.

All that walking, bending, lifting, stretching.

Answer 3

yes I am fat. I weigh 320 lbs and I am 5'5" . I do not understand why I am fat other than I am disabled and walk very little due to pain,

I do not like being fat but have always been over my weight limit--my mother always told me to eat everything on my plate--she had gone hungry once in her life and passed this "fear" onto me. It was not intentional on her part however parents should be aware.

I love exercising and I like good foods--am not a big dessert person nor candy person--love to eat raw veggies and fruits--eat little meat, as well.

I do believe that some is metabolic.
When I was very young I had terrible asthma and was having to be rushed to the hospital all the time--they would not allow me to over exert myself because they got tired of being afraid I would die I guess or they got tired of taking me to the hospital--the asthma attacks were very severe.

I never learned to skate or ride a bike! No overexertion--so I believe that when my metabolism was forming in my body--minem was wacky due to the aforementioned things--so I just read a lot and became very intelligent and well read--this helped me in later years very much!

These are some of the reasons that I am fat today!

Answer 4

Yep,I am a diabetic who has had two kidney transplants and now have to be on prednisone which is a steroid and a anti-rejection medicine, I have had both hips replaced and have lost both my big toes to gang green and now I have a torn disc in my back and cannot stand very long or exercise, however I have learned to do carb ratios with my insulin and have lost 17 lbs so far. So never make fun of people who are overweight, you never know what they could be going through, give me another year and ask the same question and maybe I will have a different answer for you, I am sure going to try.

Answer 5

no i am not "fat" as you call it but bethc got it right dont put people down till you walk in there shoes dont know if you are fat but if you are not at the moment ther may become a time when you are it also depends on what you class as fat as to someone like kate moss a size uk12 would be fat its a bit like beauty its in the eye of the beholder or one mans meat is another mans poison so they say i know one thing the world has become obssessed with this word and the women killing themselves especially celebreties to look like a lollipop its sad when there are people out there with real bad illnesses we should be wrapped up in this obsession the world is made up of all shapes sizes and colours the sooner people accept this the better

Answer 6

I am fat because I used to eat to much of the wrong food and am not very energetic. In fact I was so overweight it made me debilitated. I am pleased to say at 6 stone lighter I am a lot fitter but still fat

Answer 7

I wouldn't call myself fat, but I have about 15 lb extra from having a baby. I gained almost 75 lbs being pregnant with my son! I took off 60 of it in the first year, but this last 15 is just stubborn! I just learned to live with it. So what if my abs aren't rock hard? I'll live. As long as I'm healthy, that's all that matters to me : )

Answer 8

Yes, I am fat but trying very hard to lose weight. I've had 4 children and gained a little after each one. This year I am determined to lose it . Also, I may occasionally eat the wrong food.

Answer 9

I will be soon if I dont start exercising. I use to clean homes for a living and that kept me in shape. l year ago my back decided it had enough so I've been doing more around the house but not spending as much energy as at work. I have to face the fact that I have to exercise alot now or I will turn into a bundle
