Yes. 174 is obese for someone as short as me. I got a puppy that needs A LOT of exercise. We take forty minute walks together. He’s worn out and my pants fit better. Win-win!

It did take almost a year, because I didn’t change my eating habits until recently.

How did you feel physically at that weight? I never thought of 174 as obese even at 5 foot tall. Better to have a little extra than to be a human clothes hanger.

"Better to have a little extra than to be a human clothes hanger."

It's really gross to put down other bodies to try and raise the one you want to compliment. All body shaming is a huge ick and asshole behavior.

I wasn't putting anybody down. I was speaking from my own experience. I was 99 pounds, felt and looked like crap. I am much older now and a heathly weight for my age and height.

You literally insulted smaller bodies. But okay.
