I’m just gonna post while ignoring the drama, even though it looks like the person who started this thread is gone.
But yeah… I wish most women didn’t have to lose weight too. Wish that they can keep a belly around to stuff and play with for someone like me. But it doesn’t work that way in reality. Especially if we’re talking about the health consequences, not a thing that I’m the most comfortable talking about. And like the name of this website, it’s just it… a FANTASY.

You aren't in a fat person's shoes. Especially fat women. As a teenage girl I got fat shamed by my Filipino mom and aunt. Mom hopes I become skinny since in most Asian cultures skinny is the beauty standard. Aunt one time scolded me for drinking pop. Even my dad who is fat made some fataphobic comments, unintentionally. My sister yesterday called me fat (in a negative way) while at the buffet yesterday.
I’m sorry that you’ve been through that. It’s definitely sucks when you’re pressured to match certain “beauty standards” within your culture.
My apologies if this comment may not have sit well with you. But you can’t always know what everyone has been through recently. Sadly it hasn’t been all positive with me as well.
