In your pics tris-, you do look skinny though. Its not a bad thing, I just can't imagine you being fat!

skinny is not the same as slim imo, skinny is unhealthy, slim isnt.

wanna see me fat?

here is 17.5 st of fat, and 40" of your finest waist. i did use to be closer to 19st though i dont have pics of that on my comp.



tohtori, as said i have no health problems. i went to the docs for the only reason that people were asking if i was ok so i wanted to settle them, blood tests performed twice, nothing wrong.

women find me attractive, women who ive never seen before.
you cant look attractive if you look unhealthy can you?

You can

Pete Docherty (or however you spell it) - the druggy who used to fuck Kate Moss (one of the most beautiful women in the world - work that out)

Slash from Guns n Roses - loads of women wanted to fuck him - heroin addict

Russell Brand - that twat off Big brother - all hair and heroin scabs

Gary Busey - had women falling off him (Hollywood actor, coke and booze addict)

Robert Downey Junior (coke fiend)


Edit: Oh and myself: in my wild years, was a total coke head. Looked like a tramp. Looked like death warmed up. Pulled more birds back then then any other period in my life. Happily clean and married now. Looking like a pile of shit doesn't discount you from anything.

well not imo. unhealthy is the opposite of qualities in people that make you want to mate with them

HAve you seen the hotties with the utmost repulsive looking guys?

It's never, at the end, about the looks :)

But i get your point.

Aye, i didn't think there's anything wrong with you. Heck, that pic you posted looks healthy enough, and the pics i've seen of you, look the same(if not a bit outer spacey ;) ), i was aiming at that particular thing. You just need to sooth other people down, because they give a f*ck.

It's a b*tch, i know.

Who cares if women / men find you attractive. The question is - are YOU happy, Tris ?

Yes- good for you. Go and enjoy yourself and stuff what anyone else thinks
No - do something about it.

You gotta ride above it. You can't let it get to you. The simplest way is to smile and let it go in one ear and out the other. Good luck

I can offer, somewhat classic view on that :D

Would you rather they didn't care if you looked unhealthy?

Getting sh*t from friends is always, well, sh*t, but i've always found that those hounds that bark the most, care the most.

Just like this girl i've seen around in my local bar, i've shown i'm interested enough, she's a hottie, and how, but she keeps sniping at me for various things almost every time we see.

The thing is, she shoots a smile every time also, so it's rather clear, that puppy wants a bone :D

suppose. but why did no one care when i was suffering from being overweight?

but i guess some of you are right that people are used to seeing you as one thing, since i was that for most of my life.

They probably DID care you're overweight, but then again, most people around are "afraid", or as they like to say "discreet", to tell a person they are overweight.

Understandable really.

At first they probably didn't even care, as they didn't know you, and as time grew, and friendships blossomed(aaah), they came to care for you as the chubby guy you are. Then it just became a norm.

Now the norm is broken, and people don't like when things change.

With men, there probably is some "f*ck you" elements there, in a normal macho way. With women, there might be a subconcious fear that you'll change.

People also take comfort in other people being "uglier" then you. IT gives a nice sense of, how to put it, "feel good about self".

Dunno, sounds like when a bearded uncle or something cuts it off, after you've known him all ur life with a beard and never seen his whole face - he looks wierd. Some people who've always been fat do look a bit odd when they lose wieght and it takes getting used to. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Couple of 'celebrities' seem to me to look a bit ill now they've lost weight. Michael Winner is one, Nigel Lawson the old chancellor is another. And what's the name of that silly bint that writes a column for one of the papers who used to be fat?

Cudos to you, keep going at it, and those who are actually close to you will understand, if not speak to them!

Right now I would kill to be 11st again but my back problems are preventing me from doing it and it looks like it always will be a stumbling block, after all if you can't do any proper exercise how do you lose weight? Crash diet? No thanks, I like my grub too much. ;)
you do know the easiest way to lose weight is to watch what you eat? its no sin not to eat fastfood and actully try and cook yourself. 2/3 of all the energy the body uses goes to just keeping the body alive so it shouldnt be as hard
