Fat experiences

Health and mobility

It depends how you classify health/mobility problems... I'm currently 26, 5'2" and 326lbs, folks ages, heights, muscle distribution, exercise levels, and family history will all play a factor...

I technically had a health scare right around 300lbs where we thought obesity-caused sleep apnea (which weirdly is actually a type of sleep apnea) was depriving my lungs and brain of oxygen, did a sleep study and it turned out to be a different issue causing the main problem but I do have mild sleep apnea likely due to all the weight on my chest... this being said, I carry a lot of weight in my boobs, so it probably is affecting me earlier than most.

I started getting small cysts between my thighs at around the 250 mark due to constant rubbing/sweat, but they are manageable with good hygiene.

No diabetes or heart/blood pressure concerns yet, but both run in my family so it will probably happen eventually....

Mobility... right now I can probably walk an hour, maybe hour and 15min at a leisurely pace on flat land without stopping, for me its less about stamina and more about how sore my feet and ankles get carrying my weight... Running is a joke, I could maybe sprint for 30 seconds before I need to stop and catch my breath. Stairs are still fine, after a flight I start to breath heavier, and i usually need a break after 3 flights. Im doing work on my flexibility rn, I haven't touched my toes since the low 200 range...

Health and mobility

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. I have a lot of health issues, Fibromyalgia, PMOS, knee injury, palpitations after Covid among other MH stuff like anxiety and AUDHD with a little trauma scattered in for good measure!

It’s tough when you’re wired the way we are so I think it’s important to find balance between health, acceptance and happiness. I had high blood pressure, mobility issues were much worse, palpitations were more common at 120kgish and now I’m 93kg I still indulge, still am pretty “fat” even if not as much as some of this community would like sometimes. But I’m at a place I can enjoy this and have a hold on my health.

Also when it comes to GLP1s, regardless of what people say they are fantastic at helping with health issues aside from the weight loss. You may already be on one for diabetes, but I can’t recommend them enough. I haven’t lost all my weight, but it’s helped with my Fibro and PMOS/PCOS

I hope your health improves and you still manage to find a way to enjoy this without it impacting you too much
