What to tell friends and family when they comment on your weight/gain?

Bills225:
I've been fat for so long now, it's rare that I get comments. I can't even remember the last time someone said anything. Even as I gain more weight. I think once you're fat for awhile people just accept that that's who you are.

Sounds like a different way of saying, "get big enough to where people start to forget that you weren't fat at one point" lol.


Yes! You just described me haha

Iv had the pleasant experience of no one really caring about my weight gain

The only person who has asked me about it, is the gym owner of the Gym i go to. But even then she kinda justs asks if I'm doing ok in life and such. Only really the amount of pounds I've put on when I weigh myself there etc.

I just tell her that I'm just enjoying my life haha

My wife is LITERALLY the most massive person in our extended family, all across the world.

They always want her to lose weight, but they're good people and think they're helping her. And she's confident and realistic, so she knows they're trying to help- even if she doesn't need help, so she giggles and shrugs them off while pretending she's going to lose weight any day now.

I'm thinking that, before my 30 day challenge spirals completely out of control, I should probably have a conversation with my wife about my desire to experiment with gaining weight. After gaining 12+ pounds over the course of the 30 day challenge, I'm tempted to go for a more prolonged gain after the challenge is over (maybe seeing how many pounds I can gain before my next physical with my doctor in November). But before I go that route, I'd want to make sure my wife is at least okay with it, if not full on supporting me chubbing up. It would definitely be fun to have my significant other be on board and potentially working towards making me fatter.

I had planned on telling her at some point, but she had a recent, weight related health scare herself and I felt like it might be a bit concerning/insensitive to say, "I know you've been dealing with this because of you putting on 170lbs, but I kind of want to become a fatty now too."

I would probably be fine either way, but gaining the extra weight recently on my 30 day challenge has been a lot of fun and it might be fun to gain for a few more months and get even more fat and jiggly (and see the shock on my doctor's face walking into his office pushing 200lbs lol).

I love this. My family likes a little meat on the bones, so they might point out to me that I’ve been eating well and then offer me something to eat.


I wish to have such family. My close family members are obsessed with healthy lifestyle. I have only one aunt that loves to cook and every time I visit her she making sure I am eating well, she even loves to push me to eat even more. She knows I was very skinny once, so she’s always putting a lot of food in front of me. But she is the only one in the family that acts like this ☹️

I've been fat my whole life. I was a chubby child and an obese teenager. I seem to remember my grandmother, who had zero filter, commenting when I gained 100 lb in high school at one point. My average weight is anywhere between 280 and 370, and I'm right in the middle of that now at about 325. A few years ago, when I started having really high blood pressure (in part as a side effect from an anti anxiety medication), I lost 170 pound in a fourteen months, and that seemed to be the only time I got comments (even though, at 5'3" and 200, I was still fat). I've regained most of it, though, with no one seeming to notice. I wonder if that will change as I continue to gain toward my goal of 500.
