Even smaller bags of cement like this are bloody 'heavy'. So, say you weigh 60kg. That's 3 of these bloody heavy bags. When you stand on the ground or sit on a chair, does it feel like all of that weight is pressing down on the ground through your feet, or your bum? I bet it doesn't, not even close. It probably feels like 5-10 kg at most. The reason for that is fascinating - what you're feeling under your feet or bum is not your weight. In fact, you can't feel your weight, in any situation.
