VIP/Style Tab/Equipment affecting hot spring function?

Okay so, training cooking and my character got fat. I go to the hot spring, strip down to underwear to be able to see when a good time to leave is. About 30 minutes later, I'm skinny again.

Fast forward to the next day: I have on mana reduc/nuadha set items, and clothes (including wings) in my style tab. I was there for over an hour and never lost any weight. I also spent an entire day eating berries every 20 minutes or so, got the weight loss message but my character only got fatter?

Can anyone contribute to this? I might try it on a character I don't care about later.

Either that, or this time I ate so much the second day of training cooking that my character slowly became perma fat.

Maybe you sat on the wrong hotspring?

No, I did not, I went to both the muscle loss AND the weight loss hotsprings.

Update: My character somehow got glitched fat. I sat naked in the weight loss hotspring for around four hours and didn't lose any weight.

Here are a few circumstances surrounding the instance: A.) I was using a dreamcatcher to change into NPCs and various mobs frequently right after eating. B.) I ate the food in my homestead, and I didn't get fat until I left the homestead. C.) I almost always have equips in every available slot, including cupid wings in my style tab.

I'm not sure what would be affecting it then. I have never really ran into either of those problems.

Were you in your homestead a full tick after eating the food? Weight changes are applied every five minutes since the server restart, sometime before a server goes off maint.

Do note that You will never lose past the default appearance values unless you eat something that loses weight. Items may also alter your appearance to make you appear thinner/fatter, which would make it appear that you didn't lose/gain weight.
