        If you had ever been fat and then lost a lot of weight, you would know that the physical feeling is night and day different. The feeling of being fat is exhausting, your joints hurt, you’re tired all the time, it’s truly awful. You’d wonder how you could stand being fat. At least that’s how it felt for me.

          You are cold all the fucking time though. I mean, it sucked to be hot and sweaty all the time too, I guess. But I used to only be uncomfortable and hot for 3 months during summer, and now I’m uncomfortable and cold for 9 months.

            Even if you wear warmer clothes, you’re cold?

            I have this issue occasionally but it’s not bad on my end. I’m usually the one comfortable while heavier people around me complain they are “hot” all the time. They’ll be hot in 70 degree F weather, whereas to me that’s paradise

              I went from 160 at the start of the pandemic to 115 now, and I’m freezing all the time. I double up on socks and a long sleeve undershirt lol. Summer was great when we got into the 90s and it wasn’t too windy, I could enjoy the clothes I can fit in now!

            Can confirm, it sucks ass being hot all the time. It’s still triple digits temps outside in fucking fall, and my ass is a space heater. It’s hot everywhere, all the time. Only when it’s like the low 70s that I’m comfortable. If I do any movement though, I’m sweaty again. It has to hit 40s for me to not be immediately hot with activity, and by that time it’s too damn cold.

      If we are arguing that way then you don’t need to be skinny to be healthy. There is a middle ground between skinny and overweight.

    Or maybe just stop overeating? It’s way less about what you eat than it is about how much you eat.

      No! You have to count every calorie meticulously, swap every meal for boring salad and run ten miles every day!

      I’m way too busy to do any of that, I get chronic hunger pains before bed and I’m also a super taster which means anything but KFC, donuts and coca cola is super unpalatable to me!

      How dare you insinuate that I’m obese because I can’t just eat a little less, you don’t know my body, my will power is actually amazing except when it comes to putting down the fork! Eating a bit less is extremely hard you fucking fat hater!

        ypur comment does read like something from /r/fatpeoplehate

        I would encourage you to be more empathetic towards people strugglong with weight issues, or at least be less of a dick about it, that doesn’t help amyone

          I don’t hate fat people. I hate excuses and I hate greed. People who are overweight are typically masters of excuses, it’s very rarely their own fault.
