I was chubby my entire life entire life, starting from being ball-shaped as a baby. I was a very fridge-shaped teen, 190, 5”6… Just imagine that the fat is as unflattering as possible. When I finally went off for the first time away from home in a dorm, I dropped from 200 pounds to 145 which arguably is the relative lightest I’ve been in my entire life even though I still looked very chubby due to the nature of my body type with still having to wear large shirts. I think I went down to about 26% body fat (a proper test was done).
I get plagued of thoughts like…do those pounds really make a difference? Can’t I just stop at 150 pounds? Isn’t this a tiny difference?
I hear word that 135 is considered chubby on a 5”5 chick. And I don’t mean to agree; it is a healthy weight, but that got me thinking. I hear a lot of women say that losing 20 pounds made a dramatic difference for them. Me? I don't know anymore. I realized once I hit 145 pounds that...my huge frame wasn't quite my weight but my massive ribcage and shoulders, which have been noted to be footballer-like. I'm not sure if I'll seem small when I hit 135 or something or if this is just my unfortunate fate.
Anyway..."Difference” can be anything. Looks, interpersonally, how we feel. Does it just feel much better having a tight body? Asking the people that have been to both sides.
