I was pretty heavy about a year ago, and i remember how much fun it was to just eat as much as i wanted and the feeling of being strong. 

I dieted for about 8 months though and then did my first show.  The time i spent before the show being thin, was also a lot of fun.  I had abs, and my face looked very sharp, and it seemed like more girls were interested.  I actually felt like I was "showing off" when I went to the pool because i had the most ripped body there because i was getting ready for the show. 

I'm sure others have had similar experiences with being heavy and being lean.  So, with all that said, which is better?
 


One other side-note, when i was bulking before, i never felt fat because I had never been fat before at any point in my life, so i still had this delusional view of myself looking good.  i think that might have contributed to the happiness factor.  Once i lost the weight, it would be hard for me to get THAT fat again, because i realize how much different I look.

Which is the biggest reason why many people never cut and are perma bulkers. I began to lose confidence in my former self as i cut and was actually humiliated that i let myself get that badly out of shape. It is good that you realize this now.

I think being ripped is more beneficial in terms of getting pussy, but it also feels good to let go and eat/drink and lay off the cardio for a while...which is why I train differently for different seasons....winter/bulk up phase  summer/more cardio more focus on diet. But through life experience as a bartender and in college I always get more pussy in the summer when I'm lean, then I do in the winter when I bulk up a little.
