I used to be when I was 15 but I've lost a lot of weight since then and I'm now considered a 'healthy weight' :)

My husband is a "plus sized" aspie, who eats a TON of junk food, and I am kind of into a healthy lifestyle.

I've come to understand that it's unreasonable for me to ask him to even try 95% of the things I eat. It would be like asking me to eat bugs. When I make him food I ask him about it first and make sure to include things on the plate that are trashier in nature along with things that aren't that bad for him. Kind of the same way I feed my toddler.

I mean, as long as you can find clothes that fit and your health is okay, who cares?

I used to be 51 pounds heavier but I stopped drinking and went on a strict Jain (vegan-ish) diet about a year ago.

I am about 60 pounds heavier than I would like to be.

Technically I believe I'm considered obese. It's probably mostly drinking alcohol. I don't drink soda/sugary drinks, eat fast food only occasionally, don't eat candy or too many chips, and really eat a low volume of food altogether, yet am still somehow 280lbs.

I don't try to lose weight, I probably could if I did. But I also have an incredibly low energy level most days...
