You can be fit and fat, OP! Seems you mostly want to LOOK like that cartoon.

That said, in the process of getting fit (which has little to do with diet), you may lose weight. Or not. It depends on your genetics - what our ancestors survived on and how many carbohydrates were available. Some are gonna be fat unless they start eating twigs and leaves, and I know someone who got suicidal after nothing, not even three hours of exercise a day, made her skinny. The social pressure to push someone to that is Fucked. Up.

So, do you want to be fit, or do you want to be not fat? Be honest with yourself.

^ This.

I'm not sure why there's so much weight-loss advice going on in this thread. OP really didn't say anything about that.

You can gain in strength, endurance, and fitness and not lose weight, but you'll still probably feel way better and be able to do more.

For sure! I also hate that in gym culture, there's a pressure on women not to do anaerobic exercise/weights that could lead to them gaining *visible* muscle mass, thereby making them look bigger/"fatter". Like, do you want to be strong, or do you want to be skinny? Fehh.

I should also add that unless you're already super skinny, and are an oestrogen-dominant person (usually cis-woman), extra muscle mass won't show up as rippling biceps, but as (to the ignorant eye) fat. And so? strength isn't always skinny. I super-enjoy watching female rugby players :-)

I've been running for a while, and my endurance has gone up like you wouldn't believe. When I started I could barely go a block without gasping, and now I can run a solid mile. Not Olympic material or anything, but I've made huge progress.

Haven't lost a damn ounce. My waistline's just the same as when I started, though my legs look fantastic now.

(If it matters, I'm a guy.)

Indeed, you can be fit and fat. I walk 12-15 miles a week, daily carry a 30lb bag up several flights of stairs in additional to other strength-training exercises, eat a varied diet full of fruits and vegetables (and lots of beef - I'm been fighting anemia ever since I got my period when I was eight years old), and unprocessed carbs, and my labwork - especially my cholesterol and LDL - is magnificent.

I'm also just a tad above average height for a woman and weigh 185lbs.

I've always been the fat one of the family. My mother was controlling and strict with the food when I was growing up, and extremely fatphobic. She even told me that the reason I broke my foot was because I was too fat for my own feet (actually, my brother slammed down hard on it). Years of such comments and having my weight made fun of has been detrimental for my mental health. I tried everything to lose weight, which became impossible after I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis. I decided a few years ago that I had enough, though. I would much rather be fat (albiet fit) and mentally in a good place than be skinny and miserable like my mom.

Your mother sounds like a nightmare, anony. I'm so sorry she put you through all that.

My daughter, through genetics and things like fructose corn syrup, is bigger than other girls her age - she's 10. She was always slightly underweight for her age until she turned 7 and then within two years, she just gained about fifteen pounds. But I'd cut my own tongue out before I made her feel bad about herself. Instead, I stress choosing water and milk above juices, don't allow soda at all, and try very hard to shop outside the main aisles of a grocery store, make dinners instead of opening boxes. I also took her Wii away and drag her along for mother-daughter "bonding" time in the form of walks. I want her to have a positive self-image but I also want her to be very aware of her own health and fitness and the choices she has regarding both.

I hope am I doing it right.

[(Anonymous)]

You are doing well.

Your daughter sounds a bit like me. I was underweight until I was about 8, and I reached my adult weight at age of 12. The funny thing is that most of the society is entirely okay with it, except my family will make sure that I know my place as that disgusting fat fuck whenever they can.

I'm hitting thirty soon. That marks like what, 15 years of disordered eating? Which is hilarious because I'm actually fatter because of it.
