If you could choose to be fat and smart, or skinny and dumb? What would you choose?

I like to think I'm both smart and skinny, because I can learn things rapidly, and my BMI is in the "normal" range.
But as for this proposed exercise, I'd rather be fat and smart. Exercise and diet can usually change body anyway. As for my being smart, I'm not sure, based on past choices. |

The comedian Ron White has a bit about "you can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever."

 I love Ron White. He’s hilarious.To address original poster. I think I would refrain from choosing. I’ve been fat, I’ve been thin, I’ve been really smart and really stupid. I just chose to love myself and be however I want to be.

Skinny and stupid. In my experience stupid people don't know they are stupid and ignorance is bliss. 😂

If they were the only choices, I'd choose fat and intelligent. There are far more advantages to that choice, in my opinion. Besides, my husband has loved me at all weights I've been. He would probably have never married me if I was stupid. Not that stupid people aren't lovable or interesting. It's just a personal choice.

I too have been both. My meds have tended to make me both put on weight and drop a few IQ points. I am down in weight now but the matter of my occasionally appearing dumb is a very real problem.

Depends on how skinny and how dumb.
How about fat and dumb?.

Well......it depends on your definition of "fat" and "stupid".
There's the "can't get off the couch" fat and there's the "more to love" fat. And there's the "I jumped off the roof into my pool but crashed into the poolhouse instead" stupid and the "1 + 1 = 3" stupid. |

I'm already fat so I might as well be smart.

How about a compromise -- half skinny and smart, half fat and dumb?

Fat and smart, personally I value intelligence greatly, I worked hard for it and the feeling of accomplishment for it is bigger than words, I've tried being stupid, worst desision of my life. So I just said screw it, and did me. Best. Desision. Ever. I think Ron white said it best," you can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever." Pretty spot on if you ask me

Fat and smart, that’s how I roll.
I wouldn’t know what to do with my life if I didn’t have a weight battle. From 2003 to 2015, diet was all I ever thought about all my waking hours. Seriously obsessed with low carb Paleo. Getting diagnosed bipolar helped to break the obsession. I guess APs and lithium help with obsessive thinking. But why the hell do the pills have to make you fatter??? The ones that don’t, don’t work for me <sigh> |
