9 Reasons Why I LIKE Being Fat

I think if I'm going to rant about how much being fat is, I must be truthful and state the reasons why it is also NICE being fat.  Yes, at times it IS nice to be fat.  If there wasn't a reward, then why would so many people do it, right?

So here is my honest, unfiltered list of why it is nice to be fat.  And for the record: None of it is nice enough to STAY fat.  Therefore, I am on this weight-loss journey to change my life and become the sort of person I want to be: Healthy.

9 Reasons Why I Like Being Fat

1. I can eat whatever I want
2. Chocolate.  Need I say more?
3. I am 'comfortable' to my children.  They like to snuggle with me when I'm fat because there is lots of padding.  I remember as a child loving to cuddle with MY mom because she was so comfortable.  It's a good memory for me.
4. Food is less expensive.  Don't let anyone tell you different.  When I begin to eat healthy, my grocery budget increases 30-40%.  Crap is cheap.  That's why it's crap. 
5. I'm invisible.  This is good and this is bad. I am an introvert.  Therefore, I don't like getting a lot of attention.  I was often put in uncomfortable situations when I was healthy and spent many years appreciating the anonymity that comes with being looked-over by others (which happens when you don't stand out in a crowd).
6. I am often underestimated.  People think that because you are overweight you are lazy, unmotivated, undisciplined, or a host of other things.  I am not.  If you need examples, go to: http://susansepicweightloss.blogspot.com/2015/05/why-my-weight-loss-will-not-be-priority.html and take a look at my day. I sold a business I built from the ground up that made six figures in order to be a stay at home mom for my children, and I don't regret it one bit.  But because I choose to work from home and am overweight, I am often overlooked or underestimated.  That's OK with me.  I have bigger priorities, and I often surprise people with what I'm capable when I do choose to commit (thus my weight loss! - don't underestimate me!)
7. I don't have to work out.  Admittedly, there are MANY things I like about working out - or activities, I should say.  Lifting weights is not my favorite.  Give me a volleyball, or ask me to go outside and play, and I'm your girl!
8. I don't have to worry about swimsuit season because I'M NOT WEARING ONE! You're welcome.
9. It fills in all my wrinkles.  Yep! Little known secret: Fat women/men have less wrinkle because the fat fills in the wrinkles.  When I lose my weight, I'll start looking older.  As of 2 weeks ago, the general consensus was that I look about 27 or 28 years old (I just turned 40!).  I guarantee you that 100 or even 40 lbs from now, I will be looking considerably older.  Note to self: Test this theory in 50 lbs.
