Its healthier :)

Its only getting out of hand lately because girls want to be like Victoria beckham size which is uber skinny and they are becoming anorexic and bulimic.

Those type people have mental issues normally and are becoming thin for all the wrong reasons. A lot dont even need to loose any weight to start with
 
Because everyone tells me I can't be attractive the way I am.

Fashion industries don't produce fashionable clothes (or even decent clothes) for my size.

I can't wear what I want without being asked "when are you due".

Because everywhere I turn I'm being told I'm ugly and unhealthy.

Because all my life I've been bullied.

Because I'm fed up watching this world from the outside.




And as a side note, I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, I don't eat sweets or cakes, crisps and snacks are a treat, I don't "go large" when I go to places like McDs (and I don't go to those places very often at all). I have a yogurt for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and dinner when I get home.
 
I don't want to be slim, but I do want to be healthy or politely put more energetic.

If that is you in your sig then you are very slim it seems.

There is such thing as being too slim.
You have work out what build works for your body i find.
I know a girl that was a size 10 and about 5'4 and had big norks and she was very very attractive,
Then she lost weight and shes now really skinny and she is not attractive at all and her size just doesnt suit her.

You must have lost quite a few lbs then!??

My g/f did the same and lost 2 stone, she is now a size 12. She is still going to the gym etc and wants to tone up more. Her words, she wants to be a smaller size 12 as opposed to a 12/14.

Agree, with that. A lot depends on the bone structure too. It does'nt matter how much weight you lose you will never be able to reduce the size of your hips or rib cage. You will therefore still look big allbeit skinny big.
 
You’re joking right?

I have to maintain a steady eating/workout routine otherwise I lose weight at a shocking rate. But then again I come from a family of slim/skinny men.

I’d give anything to be able to put on weight easily and being able to maintain it.
 
A question for all the keep and get fitters here and those who like being toned?

Do you do morning exercises before work at home or do you go to the gym after work?

Cheers in advance :)
 
Because fat women are unattractive?

I'm an odd kind of fat myself...I'm healthy and fit (to me that is defined as 'doesn't get ill often and doesn't get out of breath when exerting oneself'...Although I can't run for long periods of time due to an old rugby injury to my knee), have quite a bit of muscle mass...And a big belly too :/

My gf is uberskinny and eats the same as I do - same-sized portions included.

I'm 6'3" and hover between 16 and 18 stone.

...and she's 5'9" and 1/3 of my mass.
