There are some up to being over weight or fat

1) One if your a girl it makes your chest bigger((thats always good ))
2) If you sit on your girlfriend/boyfriends lap your boney butt wont pierce your skin
3)its always freaky to see someone elses ribs

there is an overweight girl at my school she only has 2 friends witch are me and stephanie I feel so bad for her because she always comes last and struggles in P E, the girls normally make her feel good by cheering her on actully i got in a group and convinced them to cheer her on and it made her happy and she lost more weight then when the girls used to rildicule her

plus I think a little chubbyness is cute!

and that big boned thing is a load of crap ide rather be fat than big boned because if your fat you can lose weight if your big boned its permenent

another reason added by a person recently

Ya there are alot of ups. We have curves, thats one. We can also fill out certain types of cloths better. I also think I can defend myself if someone attacks me better than if I was a stick. xp I do want to loose weight but I am not all that uncomfortable with the way I am. There are alot of ups, but I will let the others have a chance to speak.

There are many up's to being fat and just recently I figured out a few that were mentioned here. Just today I went shopping for school clothes and I reached my goal. To be a size 18 (yeah me a big girl) and now I am so proud of myself! 3nodding I don’t have many friends kind of like the girl you were talking about Karukia. I can’t run either and I stink at sports. But I do have a couple of friends who are bigger. Not fat but chubby. They say I am thin but I have a big butt. (they are very honest) But still I am proud of the way I look. Besides having bigger breasts then a lot of the skinner girls makes it all worth while. biggrin 3nodding

It makes you more attractive to feeders and FAs.

and not just on the face xd heart

I was i size 22 in 6th grade @_@ I was over 245 pounds i lost about 30 pounds since then though ^-^ but it took a long time eek

I'm large-framed, so even if I lost a lot of weight, I'd still be larger. Currently, I'm at a size 22-24 (depends on the brand and style of clothing). Sometimes I can wear 18-20 shirts, but I need to wear 22-24 pants. Even though larger people rock, I feel too large, which makes me want to lose weight.... plus I just want to be healthier.

I'm hoping to get down to a 16 within a year or so. That way, I'll be larger, but I'll be a lot more happier with myself--- plus 16s are starting to be more common in "normal" clothing stores, and they're (of course) in plus-sized stores. So that way, I'll get a lot of clothing variety. Wuahahaha.. xd

All of those are very good reasons, especialy the chest one, if only my gf boobs new they were supposed to be bigger. blaugh
