Probably not, but have you ever been grateful for being heavier? Whether or not it was for most of your life, or even for a few months/years.
I would never choose to stay being heavy vs. being thin, but in some ways I'm glad that I was heavier.
I wasn't fat as a kid, but when you're a kid, you don't worry about things like that. Being skinny didn't mean anything until Junior High. That's when looks started to mean something. Before that, everyone, regardless of how you looked, had fun on the playground. But in Junior High... Girls were starting to sport their boobs like trophies, boys were suddenly cute and not gross, and I felt like an outcast. It was scary how over the summer, these kids went from being people that I grew up with to them becoming superficial A-holes.
I hated being bigger, because the teasing was relentless. However, it made me stronger. Plus, it gave me the opportunity to really value someone's personality and gave me a chance to really build on mine.
I'm torn on another thing... I know how flirtatious I can be. So maybe it's good that while I was younger, boys weren't looking at me in that way. Otherwise I could've ended up pregnant or something. Though, I'm irritated, because it's also left me being sexually hindered.
I'm not too worried about it though since, soon enough, I'll have men at my feet. ;P
Anyone else have some positives about their being heavy? I mean, no one's every glad to be big (er, well some people are), but looking back, is there maybe something you were ever grateful for when it came to being bigger?

I totally agree with Mizzie!! I was always warm when I was 80 pounds heavier and now I have a heater on me all day at work and always have to wear a sweater. I'm always cold and people say I must be getting sick but I'm not.
