I think people who defy social scorn and stay obese are doing it because it helps feelings of security. And it makes me feel secure to gaze upon an obese person.
True, it’s easier to get around now that I’m not overweight, but I can tell that I don’t have the same sense of security I had when I ate whenever.
I actually had more confidence in myself when I was 60+ overweight. When I was young and skinny, I was very insecure even though I had the typical ‘model’ body. I hated it, but then my voices were mostly negative back then so that didn’t help matters. I would non-stop eat trying to gain weight and couldn’t.

When I worked out daily before gaining 50 pounds on meds I was sooooo insecure…I thought I was a model one night on LSD and learned most models are insecure and it fed into my belief. Now it’s whatever. I’m slightly overweight, who cares. At least my mind is right.

I stay lean on meds or off…plus my new meds don’t make me hungry…I’m not too skinny not overly muscly…idk luck of the genes I guess…no confidence issues either way don’t feel uncomfortable in this skin…or too attached to it either…
