Ya. I've been pretty athletic and in shape for most of my life, but several years ago, I went through a traumatic experience and gained sixty pounds in a very short period of time. I was very fat for a couple of years, then when the depression lifted, the weight came off easily and quickly. I don't have any flabby skin either (not like what you see on television shows).
My ex struggled with his weight in the opposite direction. He went through a stressful time and lost twenty pounds of muscle leaving him looking like he just came out of a concentration camp. People harassed him all the time about eating more, but he never experienced the harsh judgment, criticism, and condescension that I did as a fat person. There is really no comparison between the two, but people keep trying to make the argument that they are the same.
Did you ever struggle with your weight?
