I have been everywhere from 120lbs to 197lbs. I am 5' 3". So that gives you an idea of how easily I can grow a fat gut. Anyhoo, one thing I hate the most about excess abdominal fat is the breathing, or having to rearrange the fat so I can put on socks, or do yoga etc...
I find the "Big is beautiful" thing to be highly superficial. In an attempt not to be superficial they have become the picture of being superficial. Because it's turned into if you aren't big then you aren't beautiful. And people who get caught mentioning weight loss are shunned, called traitors and sellouts etc.. I feel the most healthy and energetic when I don't weigh nearly 200 lbs. If I ever got as bis as that I would feel terrible physically I am sure.
