Fat experiences

Anybody else grow up a fat kid?

I was a chubby, if not fat, kid as well! I don't remember ever being "skinny". I have always had a rather broad frame and a belly, even though I was a very active kid. I hit my (at the time) highest weight when I was 16, weighing about 200 lbs. through a very unhealthy diet I lost a lot of weight, ending up at around 160 lbs when I was 17/18.

I experienced a lot of bullying in school due to my weight and I remember that my parents/ other adults in my life also made lots of comments about my size. I am now at my heaviest weight ever (and still planning on gaining more!) and I've never felt more comfortable in my body! I love being fat and I can't imagine being anything but fat in the future! I've also set very strict boundaries with my family when it comes to my size and so far they respect these boundaries.

I was skinny to average until halfway through middle school and then was around 30 lbs overweight until college, but I didn't really pork up until I got on my own and was living by myself and buying all my own food.

I had a belly from seventh grade on but it wasn't until I was about 30 that I gained enough that I started getting boobs and a decent double chin. For a long time, all my weight went to my belly so I had to keep revising my goal weight because I've always wanted to look fat all over instead of just having a big belly sticking out.

I started getting fat when I was in elementary school and hit 200lbs when I was starting the 7th grade but my parents intervened and I lost a bit of weight. Their attempts got me down to about 170 or so by the time I started high school, but I was resistant the entire time.

They eventually relented (probably from the time I threatened to eat the cat if I didn't get more food) and I hit 250 by the end of high school.

Was a normal size when about 7, got up to almost 200 at the end of primary school, was about 225 lbs at 14, and 266 by year 12, about 18. About 360 at the end of university at 22. So yes fat growing up, with all the normal discrimination and abuse we big people get.

I got chubby in elementary school and always heard loosing some weight would be good for me, i stayed chubby in my teens, but mostly in my butt/thighs and had a very flat belly.
That was until I turned 19 out of school, went to college and started getting chubbier, developing a little belly. when I was 20 Covid/lockdowns hit and i exploded. i was eating the whole day and had no movememt, before i knew it i went from flat belly to a hanging one covered in stretchmarks. I developed such an appetite and laziness in my 20s that i never lost that weight and kept slowly getting bigger even after the pandemic.

I did and still am fat. Since elementary, through high school and university, specially through the pandemic, always been overweight and used to eat a lot, mostly through compulsive eating, but still, after finding the community I felt safe, found somewhere I wouldn’t be judged by packing up some pounds, and for the first time it felt good being bigger.

Yes, I was always a fat kid and then a quite obese adult.

I was about a hundred or so pounds in second grade. I also remember graduating high school a little above 260 pounds.

I have been over 300 pounds for nearly a decade and a half. Over 350 for a few years.

I was the fattest kid in school my whole life. My parents are both on the thin side of average, and many people in my family are quite fit. My grandmother was chubby, but I don't recall her eating to excess or indulging in many sweets. I also don't have a childhood affiliation with her cooking, so there's not some deeply rooted comfort memory that influenced me.

Nevertheless, I remember loving having a fat tummy and fantasizing about being fatter. Once I was able to read, I would scour the Guinness book of world records to learn more about the people who had the fastest weight gain or the biggest waistline. And I don't really know for sure what started it.

When I look back at toddler pictures, I had a bigger belly than most two through 4-year-olds. By the time I was in first grade, I was on the fat side of chubby. When I was going into fourth grade, I discovered belly stuffing over the summer. By hiding and hoarding any food I could find, I started experimenting, and I gained so much weight, I couldn't fit in regular desks by fall. My parents tried to put me on numerous diets and even padlocked the kitchen cabinets. It didn't make a difference. I still found ways to overeat, get snacks, and eat other kids' leftovers at school. I was over 200 lb before I started Middle School and 300 pounds in High School, sometimes getting up to 375. I don't think anyone would be surprised I'm currently around 695, or that at my heaviest, I was over 900.
