Doesn’t Take Much to be Overweight When You’re Short

Disclaimer: since I’ve become properly obese, I re-read these old posts and see my body dysmorphia self-hatred and obsession with food and weight. It’s sad to me now.



My last vacation, plus some personal stressors, got me eating this spring. I’m fighting depression again and as of today, I’ve been on a six-week carb binge. This is the biggest I’ve been in almost ten years.

I won’t bother telling you how much actual weight I’ve put on because I’m so short that even my top weight doesn’t sound like much to a lot of people. I’ll let the pictures speak for me. I will say that none of my pants fit anymore except for the elastic top ones.

    You need more cake! Make some kind of cake with fruit in it and you can call it healthy.

    You'll soon get it off I'm certain.

    Must agree with you about judging yourself on how the clothes fit its a good motivator.

    Thanks, Sandi, but my clothes are all uncomfortable and there's no arguing that this size IS unusual for me. It's okay. I don't mind being overweight because it's just a reflection of the recent suckiness of my life. I wear my pain on the outside, no big deal. When the pain recedes, the weight will go away again and my clothes will fit again. But you are very nice.
