Have you ever been fat/chubby/overweight at some point in your life? when was that and how long did it take you to shape up or are you planning on shaping up anytime soon if you consider yourself overweight?

Also do you think you can be with someone who was chubby/overweight/fat in the past?

I've been always thin/average my entire life but some of my friends mention how they would never be with someone who was chubby in the past even if they rocked an 8 pack and looked as good as Channing etc..
I personally find that stupid.

Discuss below:

yup I was really thin in high school then I gained like 40 pounds in college. then I lost like 50 pounds and got too skinny but now im at a good weight. im a mess .

lol your exactly like a friend of mine who got sick with a severe life threatening pneumonia! she was chubby until she got hospitalized for like 2 weeks and lost a ton of weight and has kept the weight off. she keeps thanking the LordT day and night for having caught that diseas...I swear I have some tragic ass friends

I've always been extremely skinny due to a high metabolism.

Of course I would date someone who was bigger in the past- why on Earth would I miss out on something amazing because of that? I don't judge people based on their current weight, so past weight literally means nothing.

Yes, when I hit puberty at 11 years old I gained weight like a heffer. Honestly gained about 40-50 pounds in the span of like 6 months From that time until I graduated high school I would go back and forth with my weight until around my senior year I finally reached a normal weight and I've pretty much stayed at it. It's a constant battle though, I know I have the fat in me just dying to get back out again so I have to be really careful about what I eat. At my heaviest I was around 200 pounds and I've lost at least 50 pounds since then if not more, I don't weigh myself anymore because I become too obsessed with the numbers.

What kind of logic is that? Are they gonna look at pictures of them from their past in able to be attracted to them?

I've been "skinny" for all of my life, even though I stuff my face everyday.

That makes no sense whatsoever. The person is not chubby anymore, I don't get it

I've been at a healthy weight all my life thanks to my high metabolism and my (then) active lifestyle.

I want to lose 25 lbs

Im gonna do it though!


And yes I would date someone who was overweight. I would also date someone currently slightly overweight as well, but he would have to be pursuing a better lifestyle and weight loss.

I wouldn't be with someone so fat like they couldn't get out of bed, but some weight or past weight would be no influence on my decision to date a person
As for myself, I need to lose like 100 pounds, being fats given me terrible body image, an eating disorder and on and off depression. Wouldn't recommend 0/10

I used to be kinda skinny in middle-high school but now I'm big fat ass

omg plz dont think of yourself in such a bad way. im sure you look great and if anything think of the 100 pounds as a challenge...a fun challenge even! when you start working out and cutting down on fatty foods you will feel better and you will see actual physical benefits and change! you probably have an amazing heart too so always concetrate on your interior before you think of your exterior k?!

Oh god, the constant struggle with my weight is real

Up until the age of 17 I was SO skinny, didn't have a shred of fat on me. I then gained a bit and was more of an average size. My biggest point was when I took a gap year between finishing school and going to University, I ballooned! Although my BMI was 25 which is technically the upper end of healthy, I looked pretty chubby because of my height and body size. At this point in my life though, I was at my happiest and I actually really didn't care about having a bit of a belly, and I just loved food too much to care.

It all went downhill at the start of this year, when I got in a really toxic relationship and the guy used to call me fat and threaten to leave me if I didn't lose weight, and constantly made nasty comments when I had to buy size 'L' clothing. I crash dieted and my BMI went right down to 18!! I'm feeling better now, bit more of an average weight (BMI 21/22) but still struggle. Some weeks I lose weight (like 3/4 pounds), and then I will gain back.

So yeah, I've been both ends of the spectrum really.

Working on being an ex-fatty. Now that I'm done with school, I can possibly keep getting closer to that.

Wonderful comment. I love you for this.

When i was like 4th grade ? I was very/pretty fat I was short and fat. Now I'm tall and thin I was insulted multiple times A lot of kids were telling me to eat Activia so i can lose weight (it was a way to insult me) and i believed them

I'm mixed on this issue.

I actually enjoy husky guys over thinner builds (I'm very thin myself), so when I'm ever on a date, or having sex with a guy who was fat in the past, in my experience, they have some deeper rooted personality/psychological issues about weight that still need to be sorted out.

Example, I was on a date with a gorgeous guy who had a bit of a belly, no complaints here, but every... 5th sentence out of his mouth was either a comment about his own weight, my weight, his friends weight, or a strangers weight. Always really negative too. THAT was unattractive to me.

Also, I was recently seeing a 6'3 Brazilian man whom had the best body I had been with yet (HUGE pecs, big muscular arms... ughhh), however, he wouldn't even let me see him in his underwear with the lights on, because he was self conscious of his in-perfect body. Which again, was a huge turn off because no matter how much I complemented him, he thought i was lying.

So those are my first hand experiences that make me slightly apprehensive of dating people who used to be fat.
