Eh. Carrying your weight well is a thing. I would point to someone like Jenifer Lawrence as someone who is probably closer to an overweight BMI than she looks because she does carry it well. There are thin people who carry it badly too like being 21-22 BMI and having a pot belly. Sometimes genetics suck for real. Of course it all becomes irrelevant once fat status has been achieved.

What I find funny about "you carry your weight well" regarding large fats is that it can only mean they are so fat that this is the closest thing to a compliment the person could come up with. Things like that and, "you have a pretty face" just scream to me that the subject is so horribly and grotesquely fat in every way and the sympathiser is trying desperately to find anything that's not, "wow, you're really fat."

But not to diminish your point. Thin people don't get told they carry their weight well because one can easily find actually attractive things to compliment. Instead of disgust in disguise, you can just tell a thin person, "hey, you look great."

I almost think it's a curse in disguise to "carry it well" your joints and heart and cholesterol don't care how well you carry it. Maybe if you didn't carry it "well" you wouldn't be carrying it at all.

Oh well who am i kidding? Fatties would eat until their heart explodes. Addiction is painful to watch.

This is true, I have seen guys with BMI 20 that had moobs. That's the main reason to avoid getting fatter: you never know where fat tissue is going to accumulate first.

Oh jeeze, thanks for reminding me of that part of high school. 6'4, 140lbs, thin as a rail and goddamn moobs. More motivation to never get fat. I've got got the recipe for moobs hiding somewhere in my DNA.

There are slim people that have a pretty face. People with burns, scars, missing limbs, alopecia, cancer and so many other issues that they can't control who have little to no representation at all yet there's a smallfat like Jenifer Lawrence who says she's "like obese in Hollywood" when there's true obeasts in Hollywood like Gabby Sidibe who also do well in Hollywood. You need to smarten up and should probably be reported for fat sympathy.
