Have any other well above 6 foot fitizens struggled with being overweight as a child? I'm 6'6, 215 lbs and was obese as a child. My childhood friend, who was also a plump nugget, and I spent our childhoods playing video games and eating snacks. We both started to exercise and cut bad eating habits in High school, when we thinned out at grew abnormally tall. His theory is that our bodies had a huge supply of nutrients from the excess fat that maxed our height during our growth spurts.
Any similar experiences or is it all genetics? My dad is 6'2 and both my grandpas were under 6'.
probably up to 11-12 I was a little fat, but then grew to 6'3", so high school was pretty nice to me. was one of the popular kids, and had three girls stalking me, apart from my base fan core.
also no video games for me that much, lots of sports though, pussy and partying.

I confirm OP, he is a faggot.

i wouldnt say there is necessarily a link. If that were the case most children in america would unfortunately be very tall. However, my brother and i were the exact same as you described, both chubby kids (him for a lot longer than i) and have both ended up as above average height. Although it could possibly be some sort of pre-dispositioned thing, like for instance just maturing into a much taller person, allows your weight to shift.

My only hope is to lift the feelings away until I become a turbomanlet.
Both of my brothers were chubby (not obese but visibily large) while I was skinny; I and one of my brothers are 6'0", while the other one is 5'8"; my dad is 5'10" and my mom is 5'4" (though I think she was 5'5" when she gave birth to us) Clearly genes vary even amongst siblings, but it seems fat wasn't a noticeable factor in growth
Brody Thomas
I have a cousin that was very chunky as a kid, like 260 lbs and that fucker shot up to 6'5''

When I think about it all my fat childhood friends are tall now. Maybe they gave their bodies more nutrients. I also heard that girls that are chubby as small childreb grow bigger boobs and girls that are undereating stay flat.
Justin Sanchez
I always was a skinny kid and now I'm 6'3
Carson Morales
>girls that are chubby as small childreb grow bigger boobs Yeah, because they become fat adults

Been obese as a child actually stunts growth, but maybe just been regular fat can have a positive impact on height
Jason Perry
6'2", was fat as fuck as a kid
Christopher Scott
i was on the fat side till i hit puberty then i got skinny and grew to 6'3. also my little brother is pretty much obese and he's 6'0 at 13, i enjoyed being the tallest kid in our family. that shits going to change now i guess
Robert Anderson
My mom stuffed me up to 120kg until 9th grade when my brother introduced me to this thing called not eating and losing wieght got down to 85kg in 3 months but then balloned the fuck up to 115 now and I'm trying to lose it >195 CM tall
William Miller
I can tell this thread is just unrerage bait trying to justify been fat as fuck
And no, been obese as a kid doesn't make you taller, Americans get height mogged by most Europeans even though eurofags were healthy as kids while amerilards were fat. Also when we were kids my older brother was fat as fatass (always got more food because hes the eldest) while I was skinny, I ended up taller and with a bigger frame - bigger wrists and broader shoulders etc
I definitely think food plays a major role in growth, however you don't have to be obese to grow tall. My brothers are all around 190cm (6foot2) while I am 183cm(6foot) at 19 years old. There might be a little growth in me but I don't think so because I haven't grown since 16.
The reason for this height difference is because I was borderline anorexic as a teenager.
So not eating enough will definitely stunt your growth.

Ain't no rope string enough for you fatty

I was chubby when I was little then shot up to 5'10" when I was around 13. Still same height and lucky for that because my parents are short with Dad being 5'8" and mom 5'6". Still wish I was at least 6"!!!FACT!!!

>Been fat as a kid >2 m tall today > guess there is something to it
Also, majority of my tall friends were, or still are, fat. Maybe its the other way around: if you're predisposited to get tall later in life. You eat a lot from your childhood, so you maximize your growth and you are acustomed to eat big to get big...
Luis Parker
6'1 and skinny and used to be skinny as a rail. I'm from the Netherlands which I believe has the tallest people in the world on average and i'd say the average person is rather skinny
Julian Lee
i was fattie as kid too and grew upto 6'3 now atm cuttin
Mason Ross
Both me and my brother were overweight ever since we could remember ourselves and we grew to be 6'2. Our mom is 5'4 and dad is 6 foot. However, we did have one tall person in the family. My mom's father was 6'4, so my guess is that that's where me and my bro got our height from.
I don't think nutrition matters almost at all, it's mostly genes. Why do you think starved niggers grow tall in Africa? Genes.
Alexander Thompson
I am pretty sure I lost some height because of malnutrition and not eating enough. Often I didn't even bother bringing lunch to school.
Parker Taylor
6'5'' here, was 340lb at my biggest and now i'm 210lb skinnyfat. it's not genetics at all, my mother is a compulsive eater and when i moved out years ago and turned to Jow Forums to start feeding myself i immediately lost all of the weight. it's upbringing more than anything.
Jose Morris
No. I was always the tallest and fattest kid until I hit 15 or so, then everyone started surpassing me.
t. 5'10 manlet
Isaiah Cox

Sebastian King
This. This thread is either the worst attempt at humblebrag or legit the stupidest thread ever created on the website.
OP if you are being sincere and not humblebragging, do me a favor and not vote or do anything that affects other people.

Jeremiah Hill
>brother didn't eat half as much as I did growing up >5'8 >I ate everything in sight all the time, got fat from age 8 onwards easily, even my headmaster at school called me to his room and warned me about obesity and shit kek, topped up at 115kg in my late teens >6'0
Nathan Martin
>the state of Jow Forums
Josiah Collins
i ate a fuckton as a child, still managed to being a manlet and never being obese (also used to being slighty underweight in a year where i was often sick) i moved a lot it seems
Gavin Gonzalez
This is related to something I've wondered about a lot OP.
I'm 30 and ex-Army, and one of the things I've seen is that the 'natural beast' - tall, strong, big wrists, good at sports, etc type guys tend to have huge problems with their weight as they get older. I do wonder whether they have a different hormonal profile, one that makes them grow huge and retain muscle easily, but also gain fat like crazy.
Would be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts
