I'm overweight and I would love to lose weight, but I have chronic illnesses with treatment that cause weight gain and difficulty losing weight. I have to be careful with exercise as well because I can overdo it and send myself into a pain flare up. My doctors told me that my weight isn't a huge issue, thankfully, and that it seems like I have a good bit of muscle under the fat from the exercise that I do do (I care for and ride horses like 3 days a week, sometimes more if I'm feeling up for it)

I hate how I look, but knowing that I'm strong helps me feel a bit better about it. I say that I'm chubby-strong. It's always fun to see people surprised that I can haul around 50lb bags of feed like they're nothing. I'm also short, so the bags are like half my height lmao.

    Weight isnt nearly as bad as people believe it is. As long as you arent obese being overweight but moving and eating healthy is probably healthier than being overly obsessed with exercise. Of course the two still correlate because often people who are overweight also live unhealthy lifestyles. Also chubby people are hot, dont let society dictate whos beautiful
