Were you fat as a kid? Are you fat as an adult?!


Question: Were you fat as a kid!? Are you fat as an adult!?
I think I've always been 20 pounds or so over the ideal weight, though I go through stretches where I turn that weight into a good deal of muscle (like now), but think that's just my body type!.

As a kid, 20 pounds overweight looked "fat," but I didn't turn into a 300 pound adult, and 20 extra pounds looks rather normal on my frame now, especially since I run and such!.

So, my questions are:

Were you fat or thin as a kid!? How did this translate into your adult size!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have always been very tiny!. I was 96 lbs exactly during all of my teenage years and now in my early to mid twenties I'm 104 lbs!. ( this is after having a baby two years ago, I never got back to 96lbs after that)!. I'm only 4'11 tall so my weight is perfect for my frame!. Some of my friends that were "fat" as kids grew into very heavy adults!. It seemed like they grew exponentially which is sad because they are shaving years off of their life being obese like that!. I think it's a fairly good predictor if someone is heavy as a child they will almost certainly become a heavy adult unless eating habits are drastically altered and exercise incorporated daily into their routine!.

I was a scrawny kid, then puberty hit early, and I got curves before anyone else, and everyone called me "fat!." Looking back at pictures, I was not fat!.!.!. I was a normal, healthy size!. However, I was under the impression that I was fat, so I ate!.!.!.and ate and ate!.!.!.and suffered from weight issues all through adulthood!. Now I'm 42, and struggle daily, but have managed to take off quite a bit, and still working hard to stay in good cardiac health and get my body more tone and lean!.

I'm lean underneath with a diminishing layer of blubber covering it!. People are usually quite surprised when the feel solid muscle under the adipose layer!. I could probably crack walnuts with my glutes!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you look and feel good, I don't think you should be concerned with being 20 lbs!. over whatever the ideal weight is on a chart!. You're right, body types are all different, and 20 extra pounds on some people would definitely make them look too heavy!. Athletic people with lots of muscle can weigh more and be very healthy!. As a kid, I was in the average range with my weight to my height and body type!. I think I pretty much stayed that way all my life, except when I went through a brief period during my early teens where I lost too much weight!. I know I''m not too thin now and also that I'm not fat!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went through a period as a kid when I was overweight but exercise helped!. I do struggle with my weight as an adult now and am overweight!. I think a lot of my problem is habit, depression about a certain thing, and lack of time!. Your metabolism slows down after 30, so I've found that it's not as easy to get rid of what I put on!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to be fat when I was at high-school (don't know what that translates to in America, but it's for 11-16 year-olds) but I'm a lot thinner now!.

I'm 19, 5'11 and weigh 119 pounds!.

I'd ideally like to be less than that, but yeah, I can keep trying to lose weight!. :PWww@Answer-Health@Com

During high school, I was upwards of 320lbs!. Mostly because we had moved into an area I did not like at all, so I sat home and did nothing but eat constantly!.

Now I am 26yrs old!.!.!. weight 178lbs, very very very little fat on me (it's only a tiny tiny pinch at the base of my stomach)

Soo much better being this small!. I snow'board, wakeboard, ice'climb, downhill biking steadily now!. When I was in highschool!.!.!. thinking about those things I would start getting out of breath!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had a real fat head as a kid but my body grew to match it, I was a chubby baby, slim kid and a slim adult!. My sister was a tiny skinny baby and as a kid but she is now overweight!.!.!.
