PlumpChick:
Don't let yourself get too obese though.
AskDrFeeder:
Good advice, but how do you do that? And how obese is "too obese"?
I don't know the answer myself, but I have noticed that a lot of people set a weight limit, reach it and feel like it's not big enough and go ahead and gain more.
PlumpChick:
If it starts to impact your health or mobility, it is too much.
Xx Lillith Xx:
Many of us enjoy that though. We are fully aware of how it affects our health and mobility, but we chose to do it anyway.
PlumpChick:
This is where I disagree with you, Lillith. There has to be a limit somewhere.
AskDrFeeder:
PlumpChick: If you want a limit for yourself that's fine; I don't think anyone would object to that.
Out of curiousity, what IS your limit? How did you arrive at it?
PlumpChick:
My profile has my limit, it is 200 pounds. I was 206 at one point and it was difficult to run. Once I dropped back to 199/200, I could run again. Believe it or not, those 6 pounds were the turning point. Soft bellies and back fat are cute, don't get me wrong, but I value my mobility.
XFat:
That's wonderful for you! I'm very glad that you have found a weight that works for you and that you are able to stay at that weight.
My personal weight/mobility restrictions dont align with yours. I cant run, in cant jump, and if a building was burning and the only exit was a window, I may die due to not being able to fit through it. Personally, I want to be even bigger than I am now, which I know will come with even more compromises on my health/mobility.
That being said, I dont feel that I deserve to be judged, told that I am getting too big, or that I shouldn't be growing larger. Especially within a community that celebrates bigger bodies. Especially within a community where we support immobility, immobility fantasies, death feedists, and other extreme forms of weight gain. Don't yuck someone else's yum, we all deserve a space to be hedonistic and happy đ
I do apologize if I offended you.
