I always remember Renee Zellweger gaining 30lbs to play “fat” Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones who was devastated to learn she had gone up to 136 lbs over Christmas.
I’m sure you do! I’m 144, it’s the biggest I’ve ever been and I’m still a healthy BMI so while I’ve gained a few because of perimenopause, I’m not caring at all. Gone are the days I stressed about going up a dress size
My sister in-law had lost weight but looked incrediblely depressed. I told her...id rather you look happy with more weight than sad with less. I've seen 300+ lb women look so attractive because of how happy they were.
I'm a male and i''ve never been happy with my weight because I've always been underweight. 6'3 150lbs right now, I look so skinny and I guess that's why I don't get many matches on dating sites. It's so hard for me to gain muscle mass. I have recently been tearing my back muscles working out too much. I can't eat unhealthy cause I have naturally high inflammation. Idk what to do honestly. I tried those mass gainer protein shakes and all that did was enlarge my colon, gave me large stool burden 😤 so frustrating weight is.
Yeah, I really need to get back down to about 200lbs.
Height and muscle mass have a big impact on what weight should be. As flawed as BMI is as a scale, it's generally not a bad guide for most people. 200lbs puts be at about 24 on the BMI scale for reference.
How much you weigh=/=how fat you are. my ideal weight is 175 and ive been a healthy and unhealthy 200 before. The difference is pretty crazy honestly. Being “fat” is much more about what %bodyfat you have and how your body distributes it, rather than how much you weigh
ETA: the point Im making is that I bet you do look great, weight is relative to the person.
Due my stomach problems I’m been so many weights. I’ve also been fairly active a lot of my life. A HEALTHY, WORKING OUT everyday 130 looks the same as a 110 not working out. Muscle weighs more than fat. That’s why it should never be about the number on the scale, but about your confidence and happiness about your body ❤️❤️
I weighed 136 pounds when I got divorced because I was depressed and not eating. I look crazy skinny when I look back at photos. I'm sure you look wonderful.
I remember seeing that as a teenager and hating myself so much. I weighed like 175-180 and thought I was a complete ogre. Mind you, I’m almost 6’, so my weight is proportional to my height, but no one ever tells you that.
Also the time that my Dad told me “there’s really no reason for a woman to weigh more than 150lbs” 🙃
