Perks of being fat

Cactusrager:
Warmth, new clothes, and good health. Oh yeah, Food.

Hellobye:
Warmth would be very nice, I would love warmth


I'm not what most would consider fat (yet?), but the weight I *did* put on? The first thing I noticed was not feeling cold all the time. It's weird sometimes when I feel like I'm sweating more than those around me. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Perks of being fat

Eating as much as you can and often as you get bigger you need to eat more to feel full so you get to enjoy even more food

What are some perks of being fat?

Frogman:
It lowers your risk of being kidnapped.
(I stole that one, but itโ€™s accurate.)

Spike:
You sure? Because my experience of 1291 days says otherwise. Fat people are JUST as easily kidnappable . :/ Petpeeve when people say tis but i guess when you lost four years of your life to being held hostage then its understandable.


You were held hostage? ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ˜น๏ธ

SmugWendy:
-My BMI allows early access for vaccine boosters
-I have the capacity to eat more of the things I love
-I float more easily than skinny or muscular people
-I could survive longer in a famine
-I never sit in the back seat of a car
-Jiggly-ness ๐Ÿ˜„

Beni:
I got all my vaccines early due to my obesity as well. I am happy to have all those vaccines right now because I just tested positive for covid yesterday and the only symptoms I have are those of a cold.

Perks of being fat

-People let you use benches in limited seating situations, and move out of your way when you come near.
-You can feel your heaviness press down on things. Chairs don't fit, and creak, floors groan, cars jostle, and beds bend under your blubber.

Perks of being fat

Went to see Iron Maiden a few years back and I couldn't quite fit in the seat I had. Got upgraded to seats right behind the orchestra pit. Was cool.

Depends on the person, really. My feedee is content to be lazy. Meanwhile, my best friend (who is also fat) is very active.

Bigboy32:
One perk in my opinion of being fat is that your never hungry and you blend into a crowd really easily.


I disagree entirely! Since gaining weight Iโ€™ve become completely insatiable, even after eating what I once thought was a large meal, and frankly I canโ€™t help to notice Iโ€™m the biggest person in most rooms/crowds hard not to go unnoticed. Not to invalidate your experience or anything just my 2 cents.
