Maybe cute and fluffy like Stitch? I know 2 girls that carry their weight in their stomach to the point where they look like they're pregnant but I wouldn't go as far as to call either fat/heavy/plus sized/pooh sized.

 

[staceyhzoo]

I still look pregnant and my youngest is 3!
If I don't laugh I'll cry

My mom always says she is not over-weight, she just needs to go to the hospital and have this baby she's been carrying around for 50 years!

I'd be perfectly height/weight proportioned. If only my body got a message to grow another two feet!

Same here!

I'm not over weight. I might be over your weight, but I am not over mine. LOL

I was going to try to let this one go, but I just can't. Would someone, preferably the OP, tell me WHY is this thread on the DISABILITIES Board???? Since when did being "Pooh sized" become a disability?
I find the presumed assumption insulting and presumptuous.

There is a Pooh size thread on the TIPS BOARD. Take it over there.

No, being Pooh sized isn't a disability and yes there is a Pooh Sized thread on the Tips Board and no I don't the know OP's intent. I initially thought the OP was coming for comradarie and understanding.

I'm Pooh Sized, my son has Asperger's and my mom is old (so we used a wheelchair for her last trip). DP and I posted a trip report a couple of years back on the Disabilities thread that included a Pooh Size piece.

So back to your original question. While no being Pooh Sized is not a disability, there are a lot of good tips here on the Disabilities board for dealing with things that are out of the norm. "Will I fit on a particular ride?" is the biggest (no pun intended) on everyone's mind. We actually measured seats on our last trip and intended to post a trip report here on the DISabilities board. My mom is 93 and being old in and of itself isn't a DISability but again we came here to get suggestions for wheelchairs (she doesn't use one at home but figured (and we were right) that we should have one at WDW. My son has Asperger's, is that really a disabilty or again just another situation where we have to approach things differently so we come her for suggestions and support.

My 2 cents.

If this was the OPs intent, then the post still doesn't belong on here. There is a community board if she wants this. This is not a social chit chat site for those wanting a virtual hug. And I find it's placement here completely inappropriate. I wouldn't come to this site just because I had gained a few pounds any more than I would go to the restaurant site to complain that I'd gained that weight while at WDW.

I repeat: this is a DisAbilities thread, and I had always been under the impression that it was a source of information for those WDW fans with questions or concerns regarding touring with a physical, mental or emotional disability. And yes actually Aspbergers, being part of the ASD, is technically classified as a disability.

Seriously?? Whether this is the right place to post this or not....the OP had a question to ask and she asked. Go chill out and get over it. If you don't like the conversation, don't be apart of it. Sorry

To some, being over weight is a disability. In their opinion. It's all a matter of opinion.

To the OP, whether you are pooh sized, or fluffy, or like stitch...I'm sure you are beautiful the way you are

 

[wdw_nutz]

I agree with the comments above - perhaps the OPs weight causes physical difficulties which are disabling, they chose not to share details of this but that is their perogative.

Also, having been larger myself in the past, and having a partner that battles weight and all the associated difficulties, the mental an emotional impact can be just as disabling as the physical results.

So no, you're right, being "pooh-sized" is not a disability in itself, but one of the best things about approaching those with disabilities for help and support is how open-minded, tolerant, objective and non-judgmental we are.

Lots of posts are mis-placed on these boards by mistake, and anyway I 100% believe the OP meant no offense.

****hugs to all those affected by any condition that blocks some joy getting in to life*** xx

Oh lighten up! Geeeze

I'd have to imagine if Sue or Kate had wanted the thread moved or closed, they would have done it by now. This thread has been around a few days...although this may just do it.

The post made me smile, and what is wrong with a good smile wherever its posted, and if you are on this disability forum you just might need a smile.

Everyone sing with me...

Up-Down-Up
When I up, down, touch the ground
it puts me in the mood
Up, down, touch the ground
in the mood {smacks lips} for food

I am stout, round and I have found
speaking poundage-wise
I improve my appetite
when I exercise
(ripping sound)

Oh stuff and fluff
(ties his back together again)
That's better
(reflection in the mirror talks back)
Thank you
Now, where was I?
(grumbling sound from stomach)

Oh, yes, I'm rumbly in my tumbly.
Time for something sweet
I am short, fat, and proud of that
and so with all my might
I up, down, up-down
to my appetite's delight

While I up, down, touch the ground
I think of things to chew
(Mmm, like honey, milk, and chocolate)
With a hefty-happy appetite
I'm a hefty-happy Pooh.

With a hefty-happy appetite
he's a hefty-happy Pooh.


Now I may never get this song outta my head! No matter what you look like or how you feel about yourself someone still loves you evn when you can't love yourself. Lucky for me that someone happens to be my DH !
fighting the fluff along with ya!!
