I'm the fattest one here!

Pretty rarely. Which I am technically overweight on the BMI scale, but yet I am almost never the biggest one in a room. But when I am hanging out with a hot crowd (there was this one pool party, ugh) , yes, I am very mentally aware of how my body is lacking next to theirs.

Sweetie, we need your stats before we decide if you're circus-quality chubber hot stuff or just the least anorexic girl in your mommy book club.

Or a pic.

Thanks!

No worries, OP. You'll fit right in with the majority of Dataloungers!

You are not the fattest one here OP. I AM!

R2 5'11" and 300 pounds. That is fat.

In the water, you can be a very skinny lady.

I'm a white female living in SF. I'm frequently surrounded by tiny Asian women. Some of them are around the same size I was at 10 years old. If I go to the SF zoo there are a lot if much younger and much fatter women in awful cloths. I don't know where they come from, but they boost my ego.

I went to Jenny Craig for help.

OP anyone with over a 32 inch waist is fat on The DL.

Well what you gonna do about it ? Speaking for myself I have gained 35 pounds in the last 6 months and it's made me very depressed and antisocial.w I might not be the fattest in the room but I am the fattest I have ever been.

At 5'11" and 300lbs, I'm sure you must have the experience of being the fattest person in the room a lot. maybe you should move to Houston.

I have to bring R11's reading comprehension into question:

[quote]Sadly, it happens to me all the time

Oh God, we now officially have a Jenny Craig troll.

R10, same. I miss being thin(ner).

I was agreeing with you, OP. Perhaps the rolls of fat are blocking your eyeballs.

36" waist, so I'm FAT!

[quote] 36" waist, so I'm FAT!

OP would kill anything (except a salad) to be where you are.

If you want to look thin,you should hang out with fat people!

Maybe, R17, but I'm really badly out of shape and not proportioned well. I have thin arms, thin legs, my butt has disappeared, but I have a disgusting gut. Nothing I can really do about it, I had a serious operation late last year(heart transplant) and I'm still on steroids. And the anti rejection meds are a bitch.

R19, just worry about your health and stop bitching about a 36" waist. That's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Hugs,[R20]. You're right, of course.

Well Jesus Christ, OP, give yourself a break. You have more things to worry about. But you must be on some sort of restrictive diet, though, yes? Are you sticking to it?

When does your doctor say you can go back to exercising?

R22, I'm not OP. But yes, I do have a restricted diet but the steroids still mess with your weight and your blood sugar. They told me weight gain is normal. But I'm still self conscious and I looked really good before the operation. I know I'm being superficial, but...sigh...

Ugh, I just went up to a size 28 waist. Kill me now!!

Ok, I'm confused. OP didn't get the heart transplant?

R25, no. I'm not the OP.

Then quit bitching about a 36 waist. It's not like you're 300 lbs.

OP you didn't get big, the rooms just got SMALL

I live in a place that's largely Hispanic, so I'm very rarely the fattest person in any room unless I'm alone.

W&W for R18 for the BTS quote.

[quote]OP would kill anything (except a salad) to be where you are.

I'd especially kill R17, not especially for a 36" waist.

if you're 5'11 and 300lbs, I'm guessing you're about a 46-48 waist.

R31 must be a haberdasher for the morbidly obese.

Golly, I can't even imagine.

I was always the fattest guy everywhere I went even from a young age. On the second day of kindergarten the principal came into the classroom looked at me and told me to get back to my class. I said that was my class and he started shouting at me not to lie to him. The teacher came back from the storage room and told him I was suppose to be in that class and the principal said, "He's so big and fat I thought he was at least a third grader." Nothing's changed today and wherever I go, if I really take the time to look around, I'm always the fattest guy in the room. I'm so used to it now, but sometimes it really bothers me which is why I don't go out much anymore.

[quote]the local tall & fat clothing store

Cute R35.

First time my brother took me there 25 years ago I said, "Hey, this is a tall and fat store" and he hushed me. I said, "I think everyone here knows they're fat."

Try being the fattest AND, increasingly, the oldest in the room. Sucks.

janet jackson is the fattest one here

It happens whenever I go to a seriously rich town, the rich are thinner than you and me.

And whenever I go to a déclassé area, I feel slim and gorgeous! Sure, I'm fat (BMI of 29), but I'm not huge. So many people are unhealthily large these days, even the young. It's actually gotten to the point where I've stopped worrying about my weight entirely - I'm over fifty and was never naturally slim, I've stopped making myself unhappy by fighting nature.

Stop eating, fat ass. Can anyone find your back door?

I'm just shocked how many homeless people are ginormous!

I worked as an administrator in a very large Northeast urban school district. EVERYONE was way overweight, many obese. Every meeting involved donuts, muffins, coffee. We ate large lunches out. Over several years my weight began to climb, yet I somehow didn't notice because I was always the thinnest. I attended a state meeting held in a very affluent district. I almost died. I felt like an elephant among gazelles. That was the beginning of an initiative dedicated to getting in shape. BE careful who you surround yourself with, because you may begin to look like them.

I'm 67 but look 32, which is also my waist size, same as in college, which was Harvard.

We've met, r43. You drink your lunch as do I.

Yup, it's happened to me. I am working on it. Quitting drinking has helped me lose weight, but I am currently plateauing.
