I am 5”8 and at my heaviest (like 135-140 lbs) I felt like a gluttonous puddle of protoplasm and very inflexible (in mind and body.)

At my leanest (120lbs) I feel most agile and flexible and, daresay, “light.”

I feel like the negligible amount of difference in adiposity (10-15 lbs) can confer tremendous benefits and noticeable differences in how grounded one’s body feels to this plane. I hate that I feel better the thinner I am, but this has been my n=1 experience.

Ironically, if I gained 10 pounds I would be LESS likely to work out, due to the lack of drive and the increased difficult and requires effort (real or imagined) of maneuvering my mass through the ether.

I exercise more when I am thinner, not less.

I absolutely know what you mean. I had this experience after a few months in Russia. Here in America I couldn't maintain that. My body feels it has to be ready to endure and withstand the American life.
