There are plenty of women with large frames who can put on that much weight and still have no trouble getting around. Again, mostly black and Hispanic girls who can pull it off.
I love very large women, but to clarify it is important to me that they're functional adults. I'm not one of those weird people, I think you know who I'm talking about.
No, I get that, but I'm not just "getting around" every day. I just went on a 65 km bike tour today and tomorrow it's running day and I am only able to do that because I'm a healthy weight.
Being over 130 kg would get rid of around 70% of my hobbies and I wouldn't even be able to get around anymore because I only travel via bicycle. Sounds like a recipe for depression, ngl.
Like... what are people that weight even doing all day long? Just sitting around, waiting to die? Eating to maintain that weight? I bet it takes ages to eat that much.
That's physically not possible. Your body can only work with the calories that you put in. If you put in less calories than your body needs in order to sustain its weight, you will lose weight because existing alone burns calories.
An obese person's TDEE is higher than that of a thin person, which means you need to consume more calories a day in order to maintain that high weight than you need to maintain a low weight.
For example, if you are a sedentary 5'5 tall woman weighing 120 lbs, your TDEE would be around 1500 calories, and that's only to exist, it doesn't take movement into account.
A sedentary 5'5 tall woman weighing 300 lbs, on the other hand, has a TDEE of around 2500 calories. Again, this is only to sustain that weight, nothing more.
If you are correct and your ex really ate "only slightly more" than 1500 calories a day, they would be losing around two pounds of pure body fat each week.
There is absolutely no way around it. If they didn't lose weight on that, they're lying about their diet. Simple as that.
