I am 6 foot 1, 235 lbs. I have gained 35 lbs within the last 8 months and prior to that - I was 185 my lowest. I was rail thin at 185 and now looking back - felt like total hell. I started peating and gained weight rather quickly but I feel better than I have in years. To some extent - I feel so good that I dont even care about the weight. I would PREFER however, to get rid of my rolls and man boobs - but not if it means I lose my sanity and stop feeling good.
Do you guys put much emphasis on your weight? Is being thin by todays standards even healthy? I see alot of skinny people and even fit people that look run down and always stressed out. Why is it that by todays standards, more of an emphasis is put on having abs as an indicator of health instead of what foods you eat. You can have a six pack and be eating endless pufa!
I have even heard that having some extra fat on your chasis can be a good thing in such a toxic world. There are pollutants, heavy metals, etc all around us in our environment. Wouldn't it make more sense to pack a nice fat-shield in such an environment considering toxins often get stored in fat cells. Think about it - In a toxic environment who will be able manage toxicity better - the guy with 15 extra lbs or the guy with hardly zero body fat ? Wouldn't the toxicity just get stored in the organs instead of the fat?
Definitely not being an obesity supporter and I am sure that if you gain fat from healthy foods instead of processed nonsense - you'll be a healthier overweight person. I would like to be thinner but it seems that when I have extra weight I have a buffer and I feel better, especially mentally. What are your thoughts on this?
How do you deal with being overweight? Does it bug you?
