Anyone *NOT* trying to lose weight??

Question

I assumed by the name of the forum this would be more of a HAES (Health at every size), Fat/Body positive forum....Any other forums that are more like that?
I’m fat, have PCOS- so even back in the day when I was working out hours a day and obsessing over every calorie,  I was still fat (lost no more than a few inches)....So a few yrs ago, I decided to drop that shit (diet industry has a 95% failure rate, long term....name any other product that would survive with those kind of results, seriously) and start a self-love journey. I got my Curvy Yoga Teacher Certificate and have been working on loving myself as I am and encouraging others to do the same.....Most spaces have at least one forum for that but I’m not seeing one here....this forum and the “Body Positive” one is mostly weight loss posts, it seems :(

Answer

Yeah I totally get where ur coming from! I’m plus size always have been but I embrace every inch of my body! I’m generally healthy I’ve recently stopped smoking (0 help needed!) and I’m eating healthy and exercising more I’m like you it doesn’t matter what diet I’m on I don’t loose weight so I’m happy being me! 
God knows where the “I don’t wanna loose weight I’m happy how I am” forums are but sign me up!! X

Answer

Perfectly happy where I am just trying to be healthy

Answer

I’m a size 18, though currently pregnant so I expect I might get a bit larger in my last 13 weeks. I have Endometriosis and struggled to get pregnant for 6 years. I have no desire to lose weight purposefully and I love my fat body and surround myself with those who love it, too. I do wish there was more of an accepting space on these apps where the focus wasn’t with changing one’s appearance, but loving each other and ourselves as we are.

Answer

I can agree to a point... I used to be a size 14 technically plus sized but healthy and kind of skinny.

Literally these shorts are Old Navy size 14 and the tank top is a Large. I was healthy at my size of 14. 
Fast forward 3 years and 60 pounds- I’m not so healthy. I look okay and not too chubby but my blood pressure is up (I’m 20!) and I get winded so easily. I’m now a size 16/18 and I wouldn’t mind going back to my healthy plus sized self.

(Shorts are size 16 and top is size 0x)

Answer

Wow this is eerily similar to my story. I don't weigh myself anymore. I usually just base my body image on how I feel rather than how fat I perceive myself to be. I'm all about staying fit and eating sustainably and well for my Pcos... but I will not diet.
I much prefer this as there are less mental and self esteem issues and no disappointments from the lack of weightloss. 
Now when people tell me that I look like i lost weight I laugh and say I'm not doing anything, I'm happy as I am.

Answer

I think it's important to always be striving for the best. For a lot of us plus size ladies, that's trying to lose a bit of weight. There's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to be the best you that you can be. Weight loss or not.

Answer

I’m very against the fat acceptance movement deal, that’s like telling a smoker it’s okay because their lungs are beautiful no matter what. Fat is known to kill people by 50/60, it’s insanely unhealthy. You can’t be fat and healthy because the fat puts so much extra stress on every part of your body. I’m glad so many women want to lose weight to better themselves, if you don’t like it just ignore it.
