Difficult question to answer – I know some fat ladies who are happy just as they are, however, when I put on a load of weight when pregnant, I expected it all to disappear after I had my babies – didn’t occur to me that I wasn’t going to give birth to a 2 stone baby!!! I lost the weight, eventually, and felt a lot happier, I’m not skin and bone, but I am happier at what I call ‘my’ normal weight. I think every woman knows what weight they are happiest at – thin, medium or fat! :D
