I assume this comment is a joke, but in case it’s not: as someone who is currently 220, I want to lose weight. I don’t feel GOOD at this weight. I’m heavy and tired all the time. They don’t make cute clothes in my size. Obesity isn’t something to hate on, nor is it something to celebrate. It’s a handicap for life. Nobody, NOBODY, should WANT to be obese.

This is exactly it. I am an active person who loves doing things outside. I was always an athlete and due to some health issues in college, gained a significant amount of weight. For reference, I started at 140 going in to my freshmen year. In highschool, I played soccer and was a college recruited athlete to row crew. With the extra weight I was always uncomfortable. Not just with my body image, but actually physically uncomfortable. Plane seats were uncomfortable, going on hikes…

(One of my favorite activities) were difficult and no longer enjoyable. I chaffed between my legs, no longer fit in my active wear, my joints would feel fatigued and unsteady and I didnt enjoy it at all. I also am an avid snowboarder and I could no longer get low or carve the way I used to. Not to mention, for work, I am a waterfront director at a summer camp for over 400 kids. Not only did it get in the way of enjoying my life, it got in the way of keeping others safe.

I have an amazing fiance who has loved me my entire journey at every weight and I would never want to pressure someone else if they were happy at a weight I was not. But this is a good thing for me and I am going to celebrate it. I am able to enjoy my life more again and for that I’m grateful.

Hi number 7, I relied to number 11. If you would like to read it and learn a little bit about my journey or if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them! My celebration of becoming more healthy is in no way fat hate. I do truly believe there are healthy bodies at a variety of weights and compositions. That weight was not healthy for me. My lowest weight was 140 which was also not healthy for me and i worked to put on muscle and landed around 160 as a college recruited athlete.

I have always been an active person, getting back in the habit was a huge part for me. I also focused on getting back to eating whole foods. This combined with a low dose of Zepbound prescribed by my pcp worked really well for me. While Ik there is stigma surrounding glps, I was doing the things I stated above religiously and would lose a pound or two and then regain it back. If you would like more of my story, it’s in the replies to #11.
