For other fat men/women - what can you not do now as compared to when you were smaller?

Question

I have put on over 100 pounds in the last two years and love my size and my continued growth. As I pass 380 on my way to 400 and much more, I have found that there are some things I used to do when I was smaller and are harder to do when I am larger. I wonder what other things will I be able to not do as I get bigger. Some things are easy to idenfity - like fitting in just one airlne seat. Running is out. What else comes to mind. Going to sporting events withi individual seats is almost out. Last game i attended I squeezed in the seat and did not get out until the game was over. It is a good thing the vendors came by with food. Buying clothes is getting harder. Let me know your thoughts.

These questions seem to get the "make fun" answers and the soap box preachers. I am fat because I like to be fat and want to be even larger. I am healthy and would not do this if I was not. I really am looking for the practical experience.

By the way, clothers are already an issue as my over 60 inch waist in not carried much in stores. I still tie my shoes but when I stand I have not seen my feet in quite a while. I may waddle a bit but I love showing off my size. Chairs at work with rigid arms are a problem - I usually get stuck and have borken a few. I have a big boy chair at work so that works. People at work are either accepting or do not. Those who don't will stare at my size when I walk by or sit down and snicker at how much I eat. I am sure that will continue but I don't have any issues there. I am happy with who I am, how I am and how I want to be.

Answer 1

Since I am heavier than you at 550 plus, I had a few ideas. Keep looking for sources for clothes - as you get larger, the tailor becomes a friend. Keep walking and swimming. You will find you need to watch your balance as you waddle. The larger you get the more your center of gravity changes and as you move so does the weight. Be careful with furniture - not all chairs are made to withstand our weight. Bending over can be interesting - the weight in front causes you to change your stance. Sitting you will find that your stomach and mid section will force your legs to spread and that you will have to sit farther and farther from a desk or computer. Getting in and out of cars is fun. Sometimes I need help. Sports will become more difficult. I tried raquetball the other day with my dad and friends. Many had not seen me since I was 250. My dad just laughed as I could not move well and fell over often. You will also find that getting up off the floor is a challenge. I needed help many times when we played. Get used to being laughed at and ridiculed but I think you will handle that since you seem happy with your size just like I am. Enjoy the process - I do and it is still ongoing.

I think that you are a liar, you aren't happy, you just want someone to say it is o.k. to be fat. You won't get an answer like that from me. You are ruining your health and shortening your life. If you did not care about being so fat, then you would not talk about how wonderful it is. You bet things are different since you have gotten fatter. Have some respect for yourself and watch what you eat. It is a much bigger challenge and it will pay because you will be able to meet more people and live a normal life if you start to lose weight.
I feel sorry for you and your attitude does not fool me.

Hello. I have never been overweight, so I can't give advice on how to navigate this world as a very large person, but I am very interested in your perspective, because I have not often heard a person say that they like being very overweight. I read what you wrote three times before responding. Here is what caught my attention. You mention getting attention and you use the word identify. My suspicion is that you are looking for a reason to be special. That is perfectly normal. But, killing yourself is not normal, my friend. I'm wondering if you are open to discovering what it is that makes you unique, valuable and special in this world by other means?

Answer 4

I can walk through parking lots at night. I used to be really gorgeous. I hated it. Too many freaks out here. I put on baby weight and I really don't care to lose it all. As long as I am still healthy, I don't really give a crap.

Answer 6

Get on a good diet ASAP. It just gets worse. You are committing suicide. The other things that will happen, you won't be able to wipe your butt. You won't be able to cut your own toe nails. You may get so big that all you will be able to do is lay in bed propped up with many pillows so that your air ways stay open. And when that happens you will not be able to get to the kitchen to get any more to eat. Not to mention the smell from your bed, from not being able to get to the bathroom. Wake up and stop all the eating and get moving.

Answer 7

Well, I'm not fat, and one thing that helps me to not wanna be fat is people who I take care of in the hospital, who are fat, can't reach their bottoms to clean themselves, or their feet, so most of the time they come in with very bad feet and bottoms.
:(
