>>50332309>>50332313It was a lot more complicated than just 'lul eat less'; I actually had a rather moderate diet as a kid, but my metabolism wasn't fantastic. Of course, I slimmed out quite a bit as I grew up (though I put on a ton when my dad passed away, and it's been a long journey regaining motivation and losing all that lard) and I've found out later on that a few girls did actually have crushes on me way back.
Still, trust issues and my lack of faith in relationships (not to mention the bullying as a kid) have steered me away from romance. I still have friends I'm incredibly close to, but I just don't see myself trusting someone enough to have a healthy romantic relationship with them.
Just thought I'd toss this in here, I hate the 'fat acceptance' movement and how it's become acceptable for people to excuse their blubber. It's actively damaging to your health, and rather than some 'attractiveness' issue, it should be treated as a health issue that needs to be fucking addressed. I don't think kids should be bullied for being fat, but society shouldn't make it acceptable. As for fat adults, they shouldn't be told to 'love themselves for who they are' and should actively be told to get in fucking shape.
