Now I feel really guilty and want to delete my comment but won't because well...I left it, so others should be allowed to see it.

If OP doesn't want to lose weight or likes their body I don't think they should worry about losing weight. Other people's opinions aren't as important as your own and your own happiness. Guess I figured OP wanted to lose weight and that they were convinced they couldn't. (Granted, I know some people have extra difficulty losing weight because of health reasons, but those are rarer so I didn't think to mention it.)

Er...anyway, sorry OP. (Didn't mean to be a dick!)

Don't feel guilty; it's natural to want to give advice on a subject you have experience with whether someone is asking or not. OP didn't specifically ask for advice, but the implication that they might desire it is there.

This is very personal subject for me, so I get a bit self-righteous in a different way. I got so fucking sick of giving weight loss advice because as soon as you start looking less fat people start coming out of the woodwork asking how you did it. I did it the unhealthy way and it's taken a while to feel better about myself now that I'm eating more normally again. My mom did it the unhealthy way. My fiancé did it the unhealthy way. My friend did it the unhealthy way. I know so many people who struggle with their weight, and I know how difficult it is to be fat and how difficult it is to lose weight. I will always advocate body confidence before I advocate losing weight just to be less fat. (Of, course, if you need to loss weight for health reasons, I advocate talking to a health professional.) I wish I would have been in a better mental place when I decided to lose weight.

I get what you're saying. If you want to lose weight you should try to do it in as healthy a way as possible. I don't think anyone can argue with that; it's good advice.

You're right though, OP didn't ask for weight loss advice. Maybe they don't even want to lose weight so much as for people to stop thinking they need to. I've been there as well. No matter what they meant it sucks to feel fat.

In the end, people should do whatever they feel is best for themselves and what's going to make them happiest. Most people could benefit from a little (or a lot of) body confidence and being kind to yourself is probably the most helpful thing you can do.
