| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 06:30 AM PDT I've had a weight problem my whole life. I loved food, I loved video games. Hell, as a kid, I almost thought it was a game; I remember being 6 years old and finding the scale in the bathroom and thinking it was some measure of being "better" to make the number go up. And go up it did. All the way through my early twenties, that was just about all it did. As the years past, I obviously learned better; I knew that getting too heavy was bad for me. And I didnt care; food was too damn good, and once I tasted something I liked, I was seized with an insatiable desire for more of it. Finally peaked at around 340 pounds by the time I was 24. By then, I'd been bullied mercilessly through most of middle/high school, to the point where I grew very antisocial in college, where I had virtually no friends (had no friends and basically locked myself in my room when not in class). I had graduated college to over a hundred grand in debt, a shitty dead end retail job, and crippling depression; suicidal thoughts were not uncommon, and downing tons of unhealthy food was the only way to stimulate much in me beyond dead apathy (at the best of times). It wasnt until the woman I'd planned on marrying at the time left me that things started to change; after about two weeks drinking myself into a stupor, something in me snapped. I decided if I was going to do something obsessively to deaden the never-ending hurt, it could either be the food and drink, or I could drown it out at the gym. So that's what I did. I got a membership, hired a personal trainer with what little money I had left, and never looked back. So, yeah, it all started off as a conscious effort to change my coping mechanism. Over time, the anger kicked in, and I began working harder in order to stick it to everybody else, and everything that had made me feel like shit. And THEN, almost without me realizing it, some months later I found myself doing it for me. I wanted to keep getting better. To keep losing weight. To see just how strong I could get. I dont know when the change overtook me, I just remember realizing, one day, that I was actually happy, enjoying myself. That was a feeling I'd not had in a long time. And now, here I am, looking at my scale reading 178 pounds, two under the target weight I'd set for myself when I first started. I dont think its fully set in for me yet; the feeling of triumph and adulation is more quiet and subdued than I think I expected. But I cant deny things are much better now than they were. Physically, I feel much better than I think I ever have; I'm often even finding myself seized with a craving to go out and run for a few miles at random points throughout the day, which would have sounded like insanity to me even a few months ago. I've secured a good circle of friends, a far better job, and am constantly looking for and finding ways to improve my life and my outlook, increment by increment. My depression and suicidal thoughts have almost completely subsided. Still over a hundred grand in college debt, but I guess you cant have everything, haha. But regardless, I am happier, more confident, and feel better equipped to tackle things than I think I ever have. And I just wanted to share that with you all. Thank you for bearing with this rambling, windy mess; I just felt like I needed to dump my immediate thoughts out there. EDIT: thanks for the support everyone, and the gold; wasnt expecting this kind of response. Wanted to take a second to address the elephant in the room: the title. A huge amount of response has been directed toward the doctor, and, in my stream of consciousness ramble... I completely forgot to contextualize that. Anyways I'll just copy one of the replies I put in the comments regarding that, and leave it here: "Truth be told, I wrote this pretty stream-of-consciousness, and I didnt have much to add to it beyond what I put in the title. The guy said it to me when I was getting a checkup to prep for a study abroad in Brazil my sophomore year of college and the conversation inevitably touched on my weight (was 290 ish at the time). Dont recall much else of the conversation, because otherwise it was pretty mundane, but that line always lingered in the back of my head, so I lead with it." Yeah, not the most interesting stuff in the world, but what'cha gonna do, right? Life's like that, sometimes, lol [link] [comments] |
| Just turned 30 and hit 450lbs. Need to take control before it's too late. Posted: 21 Mar 2020 02:19 AM PDT Growing up I loved roller coasters, I'd get on any of the craziest ones I could and had a blast. When I could no longer fit in them at Six Flags I swore I'd make a change. When I got into an accident at 22 and the doctor's office scale put me at 330 I swore I'd make a change. And six months ago when I finally bought a high-capacity digital scale on Amazon and it showed me 430 I swore I'd make a change. I've turned 30(M) earlier this month, and the number on that scale is a staggering 450. If I made a change it wasn't the one I wanted. I'm 6'5" (about 2m tall) and my body hides it very well, most people guess me 100+ pounds lighter. A blessing perhaps, but also a curse that has prevented me from being faced with the enormity of my, well, enormity. I can also still run, jump, sprint, squat, I spent several years back and forth between hitting the gym with a trainer and giving up through my twenties so I've kept a decent amount of my overall fitness, I move well for my size, but time is catching up with me. I've started having leg, knee, and foot problems, and my last blood pressure reading was nearing "needs medication" levels. I need to take control and I need to stick with it, or else I'm dying early and not fitting in a normal sized coffin. I've got tupperware containers to take meals to work instead of buying fast food on the way, I'm cutting sweets, sodas, and chips, I have to do this now. I need to lose 200 pounds, I've got the support of my family, my girlfriend, and my friends, but at the end of the day I know I could always use a bit more support. EDIT - oh hey I still have my old flair, I must've come on here two years ago when I had my lipoma. Sad to see those stats... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:44 PM PDT I (18/M) have been obese my entire life. In 6th grade I was near 220 pounds. In middle school I began being a bit more conscious about what I put in my body, but I was still gaining weight. Fast forward to 3 months ago at the start of the new year I was 245 pounds, I'm 5'4 so it really shows. I needed to make a change. I cut soda, and began eating 1200 calories a day. It's been the hardest change of my life, but I've lost 31 pounds down to 214. I always hated excersing, and the stories on this sub are really what inspired, and made me realize I could do it without lifting a finger. 160 is my goal weight, and I don't think I could do it without this sub.

| Redefining my relationship with food: Stop using food as a reward or a comfort Posted: 20 Mar 2020 08:36 PM PDT I realized that I have very bad emotional eating habit. I eat when I'm mad, sad, stressed or bored. I also tend to "reward" myself through the day. Like maybe I'll complete some task off my to do list and then think "oh I deserve a reward", which is usually some sweet high calorie junk. I need to break off this unhealthy pattern of snacking/grazing, but I'm a human being and I have moods and that's not going to change. I need to find something to substitute for eating. Normally that would be gum, but chewing too much gum makes my mouth itch. I think I need to find something that's as rewarding to me as eating, and it needs to be sensory and something strong enough for me to release my emotions with. I really like doing cover dances and I used to do a lot of them for fun at school, but now that school's closed I don't have a dance studio. I think the important take away here is finding something that you can channel your emotions into. And to not be afraid of spending a little time. Like the 10 minutes it takes to take a walk or paint something or draw something is worth the extra pound you pack on from eating something for that quick reward. Plus eating food takes time too. So maybe it takes 5 minutes for me to go down stairs and eat a piece of chocolate, even if the actual act of consuming the chocolate takes less than a few seconds. I think what I'm really looking for is a diversion, and it doesn't have to be food. If anyone else has tips for cutting down on unnecessary grazing, it would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| My boyfriend says he can’t see a future with me unless I lose weight Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:58 AM PDT My boyfriend and I have talked about marriage and kids before, but last night he told me that while he thinks I'm the one, he can't have a future with me unless I lose weight. I have been overweight ever since we met (I am just 10 lb overweight so it's not impacting my health). I confided in him that I put on 50 lb in the past year due to emotional eating after sexual assault. He said he accepts me and I have been slowly losing weight. But yesterday he explained that he wants to have a thin wife so that he'll look good in front of his friends. He also says he's already being very generous by being with me although I'm a minority and he's white. I don't know if I'm ready to continue a relationship with someone who says things like I look terrible and make him look bad, but I'm very confused because he was very nice to me before this. Also I know that I should get into a normal weight range and that I shouldn't have eaten so much to cope with what I went through. tl;dr: My boyfriend says that he will only be ready to talk about a future with me if I lose weight.

| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 10:26 PM PDT I am 18M and weight about 194 ish pounds and am about 6'1". I know that is only considered borderline overweight, but I have been wanting to lose a few pounds in a secret way to give myself a more "feminine" body image for reasons and so I don't end up being majorly overweight in the future. However, my dad's side of the family doesn't like this. I am encouraged to eat big plates with every meal and am often offered ice cream and other things. I'm starting to manage a bit by cutting back a bit on pop and not eating as much ice cream, but it is not really easy when constantly encouraged to eat. I think this side of my family seems to mostly be overweight. My little half brother on my dad's side is 7 (will be 8 in a couple months) and we last measured him at 4"8 and 119 pounds. That is just not a body image I want, but I am told over here that a good diet is basically big meals and plenty of junk food. Is there anything wrong here with any of the reasoning going on?

| How should I increase my calories? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:55 AM PDT What is the best way to exit a caloric deficit? Hey everyone! I'm female, 17 years old, 164cm tall and rn at about 55.7kg/122lbs. I've lost about 40lbs and now I'm slowly but steadily approaching my goal weight. If I hit my goal, to be honest I'm quite unsure what to do after. I'm currently on a 1200 kcal diet and I don't know how I should increase my caloric intake, I'm really scared of gaining weight back again, does anyone have suggestions? Ive heard of people trying reverse dieting, but tbh I've never taken a closer look into it, or are there any other ways? And if you tried reverse dieting, how quickly did you increase your calories? And how do you calculate your caloric intake so you're neither in a deficit nor a surplus? Literally every single calculator tells me a different number, help :D [link] [comments] |
| Can't afford diet for weightloss in current circumstances Posted: 21 Mar 2020 01:46 AM PDT Before the whole quarantine thing happened, I had completely removed Carbs (rice and wheat) from my system and switched to a only white meat and vegetables diet especially since I have grade 2 non alcoholic fatty liver. Now I don't have a job at the moment and the only thing I can afford is canned chickpeas, kidney beans, eggs, rice, milk and oatmeal. I am taking 1 tablet of multi-vitamin every day as well. In my current situation I cannot afford to purchase vegetables at the moment. I wanted to be off carbs completely but I need a source of energy which I can sustain for a longer time. Just wondering if its still possible to lose weight with a carb heavy diet. My only physical activity is that I am walking 6 miles a day along with high rep light weight training at home.

| Starting my journey, need some advice/help... (female 27 (almost 28) 5’8” 328lbs) Posted: 20 Mar 2020 06:04 PM PDT Hi all, Obligatory first time poster, long time follower. Please let me know if I violate any rules for this subreddit and/or should post somewhere else. Background: So I've gone back and forth with my weight for a long time. I've always been a bit in the bigger side. Started to notice I was bigger than my peers around 5th/6th grade. But it was always managed well and I graduated high school in 2010, I weighed about 175-180lbs. I really started to gain freshman year of college. Freshman 15 turned into freshman 30. And I've gained progressively since then. I started seeing a doctor that specialized in weight loss in 2014 and was put on a diet and meds to help lose weight. It was very similar to the CICO plan I've seen people post about. And I was initially prescribed phentermine and that helped a good bit, but I didn't tolerate it well and had to stop it. I then started a medication called Saxenda and it did wonders. But when I turned 26 and had to get my own insurance policy, it wasn't covered on my new policy. So I figured I could manage my weight on my own with diet and exercise. That unfortunately is not the case, which leads to now (thank you if you've taken the time to read this)... Current: So as I stated in my title, I am a 27 (almost 28) year old 5'8" 328lb female. I recently found out I am insulin resistant, but not diabetic. I have taken metformin in the last, but do not tolerate it well. I do not go to a gym or anything (too self-conscious...), but also my job has me up and walking A LOT (definitely not a desk job). I'm not a runner by any means (get winded walking up the stairs sometimes...). I am trying to find some help, tips, tricks, recommendations, etc on how to lose weight while insulin resistant. Are there any diets that you all have seen that are effective for weight loss/weight management? What about exercises (preferably ones that I can do in/around home)? Again, thank you all for who took the time to read and/or respond. I really do appreciate it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 06:02 AM PDT I find my unplanned eating is for two seemingly opposite reasons: ANXIETY and BOREDOM. Perhaps, though, the boredom eating is my habitual way of doing something that feels productive instead of simply sitting there, worrying. Maybe the boredom eating is anxiety too. Of course, this unwanted, unnecessary eating never solves any of the problems I"m worrying over. It's a mirage of productivity, without any productivity. Your thoughts? Anybody else experiencing additional unwanted eating this past week or two? What is working for you? (What is not?) Feel free to share ... whether it be your solutions or just share in our mutual struggle. [link] [comments] |
| From obesity to fighting in martial arts. (Shirtless slightly NSFW) Posted: 20 Mar 2020 08:05 AM PDT Hey everyone, I have been lurking here for a long time and finally decided to make a post during these hard times to hopefully motivate atleast one person here, since i got a lot of motivation from here while starting out. I have been fit, i have been a bit chubby but i never considered myself fat until my 23rd birthday. I was using alcohol in ridiculous amounts and it was starting to take a toll on my body. When i looked in the mirror one morning i didn't recognize myself anymore and realised i had to do something. I went sober and got back in to martial arts (BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai) and gave myself 1,5 years of time to be competing. I started counting calories and macros at first while doing cardio and then moving up to a stricter diet and lifting weights. I went from 120kg (265lbs) to 79kg (174lbs), 37BMI to 24.6BMI, 36% to 12% Bodyfat in 16 months. Before and after pictures But the biggest thing that changed, i am happy. I didn't realise it at the time but hanging out in bars, binge eating and playing videogames didn't make me feel good or happy. Now when im coming back from a hard sparring session or hiking with my new gym friends i feel something alcohol never gave me, joy. Sure it's hard, painful and exhausting at times but i have never felt better in my life. I had my first submission fighting tournament after 1 year of training last december in the Finnish ADCC national championships, unfortunately i lost a hard fight via RNC. I was supposed to have my first MMA match tomorrow but the fight got cancelled due to current situations. I am going to keep doing calisthenics and running while im stuck at home and i encourage everyone of you to keep fighting your personal fights and supporting eachothers journeys. I am by no means an expert on fitness or nutrition but i am more than happy to talk to anyone or give tips on reaching your goals. Peace and love. [link] [comments] |
| Is it bad my main motivation to lose weight and get fit is to prove everyone in my life wrong? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 10:04 AM PDT I feel like the title is pretty self explanatory. My whole life, I've been made fun of by my classmates, my "friends", even my own family members. My own father would "tease" me and tell me things whenever he sees an obese woman, "You see that woman? That'll be you when you're 40". I don't even think he understands how much that shit hurts. Nevertheless, I began my weight loss journey in silence. I never told my parents I was going to diet. I only ever told my new, much better friends, now that I had a goal to achieve, and they supported me. I haven't achieved my goal quite yet, but I'm halfway through. I used to be around 140lbs (the highest I've ever been), at the height of 5'2"-5'1". I'm currently 124lbs-125lbs, and hope to reach 115. Now going back to my main point, my main motivation this entire time is to prove all of them wrong. To get the last laugh. I know it's bad that's my motivator but, that is what got me this far. I also have other motivators, like to get strong, to be able to run long distances because it makes me feel amazing. But do I need to change my mindset? [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 19 & 20 Posted: 20 Mar 2020 01:59 PM PDT Hello lovely losers, Two day post, it snowed over yonder & things got weird yesterday.

| (21F) (- 45 lbs/20kg) I hit a big milestone, and I have no one to tell, so I'm telling you! Posted: 20 Mar 2020 07:47 AM PDT About a year and a half back, I decided I need a break, and I needed a major change. I said goodbye to my job, school, friends, family, and moved temporarily to a secluded place about 6 hours away. To work on myself, figure my life out, and decide where I wanted to go from here. It was needed. After doing some soul searching and so on, for the new year, I decided I wanted to lose that weight I was always talking about wanting to lose. I have been overweight for several years now, bad habits and bad mental health being the causes. I looked in the mirror and wondered who that person is. Today, I stepped on the scale to see 45 POUNDS GONE! It is such a big deal for me, that I finally stuck to it, and I'm really doing it. I'm making my new life! I feel like a new person on all levels. I got here by making sure I drink enough water, calorie counting, doing OMAD, and moving more whenever possible, and some exercises like pilates and HIIT from home. I have been in contact with my friends and family that are still back in my hometown ofcourse, but they haven't seen me since I started losing the weight. Not even in pictures, or on things like facetime. This has been a decision I took, because I want to truly look like the new person I feel like next time I meet them all. I also haven't told them about my progress, for the same reason. That means I have no one to tell, but I wanted to share so badly, because I feel great. So I'm telling you! The future is, for the first time in many, many years, looking really bright. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 09:42 PM PDT I (23 F) seem stuck at 143 pounds. I'm 164 cm (about 5'4") tall and I've been sedentary all my life except for my commute to/from school or work, which involved some rushed walking to get there on time. Ever since I was little, I was a bit on the chubbier side, even though my BMI was supposedly normal. Then at 13 I got hospitalized with severe gastritis caused by helicobacter pylori and I've been put on some meds which seemed to make my metabolism faster and I lost about 16 pounds (reaching 99 pounds at a 5'2" height then) and although I was a bit flabby here and there, I became OBSESSED with my weight loss. It soon turned into an eating disorder for me, struggling to keep that weight and go even lower on the scale. I reached a point where I was literally starving myself or trying to puke if I felt like I ate too much. My lowest weight was 94 pounds when I was already starting to grow in height. I struggled with it until I was about 17, when I had some sort of a wake-up call and since then I've been slowly allowing myself eat more and a greater variation of foods. Fast forward to 19 and I'm fluctuating between 112-116 pounds, at 5'4" tall, which I was pleased with and seemed to be my ideal, standard weight. I got diagnosed with PCOS when I was about 16 and my gyn told me to take birth control, but I was so scared back then of the possibility of gaining weight that I only took the treatment for 2-3 months and then never took it until I was almost 20. That's when I visited my gyn with another problem and he insisted I take the birth control he prescribed. I then took it everyday for 2 years straight and I slowly but surely gained weight until I reached 143 pounds. I tried to tell him that I fear my BC pills were making me gain weight, but he didn't listen and refused to change my treatment. I got so mad at this that I stopped taking it for about 4 months, which seemed to work, and with great dietary effort I managed to reach 125 pounds. Then I got back on it again because my bf at the time was insisting I used this method of contraception. And I gained it all back in just a few months. Now I'm pissed. I've stopped taking BC pills around december 2019 and my weight doesn't seem to budge. I've tried fasting, I took extra care with my diet to eat as healthy as possible, little to no sweets, no junk food, and the extra weight is stubbornly sticking to me. The only thing I haven't tried is regular exercise. Do you guys think it could make a difference and bring me back to at least 125 pounds? Because I feel like a blob of fat and I'm worried about gaining even more in the future, when my metabolism will slow down or I'll have to take BC pills again to keep my PCOS in check. (Also idk if it's relevant information, but I've started smoking at 19 and by 20 I was already at 1 pack a day and it stayed that way since). [link] [comments] |
| Loosing more weight than expected Posted: 20 Mar 2020 11:37 PM PDT Hi! I am on dag 12 of my way to health and have been using mfp religiously. Weighed everything I put in my mouth to make sure that I don't eat to little. Have been eating out twice and used what others had said it was, but tried to make sure that it was not logged as to little. I am supposed to lose 0,5kg in a week when eating 1360kcal, sometimes I eat a bit more and sometimes a bit less. But in the end my average gets to the right number. I did strength train 2-3 times in the begging before I got a very mild cold and haven't been at the gym for over a week. The thing is, I have lost 2 kg during this week. Not 0,5kg. Totally I lost 3,5kg in 12 days. And it has not gone up except for day 2, since then it has been a big downardpoibting graph. First I thought the rapid loss was from water weight but it should have left me and I am starting to suspect that I am losing muscles and not fat since I got a huge drop just a day ago in my weight. It's that or that my metabolic rate is way higher than I thought. I just want your thoughts on this. Do you think it's still water weight or that I loose muscle or something else? And how can I make the muscle loss stop? [link] [comments] |
| Help! Getting too hungry for first meal with IF, obsessive with CICO. Posted: 20 Mar 2020 11:19 PM PDT I have been trying IF 16:8 recently. My problem is, that I end up eating way too much for my first meal, ie lunch. This is partially because I am so hungry by 12 pm and partially because I know my next meal will be dinner and my mind tells me to panic eat because I won't get anything else before 7 pm. What are your experiences with IF? If anyone had any helpful suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. I should also mention that I tried CICO before this as well, and tracked calories with MFP. Not only was it hard since I don't really know how to accurately add the calorific measure for home cooked meals, but also being a borderline obsessive person by nature, it got to be too much for me, to the point where I was thinking about calories all the time, and it just didn't seem healthy.

| Gaining stretch marks while losing weight? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 02:40 PM PDT So, I'm completely baffled. I'm 18F, 5'9, 181 currently and started at 186.6 about two weeks ago. My first week I lost about 5 pounds very rapidly, and then the weight loss slowed to a halt about 8 days in. So, I've always had stretch marks here and there. This isn't news to me. When I started gaining weight I noticed a few little marks cropping up on my hips and inner thighs. Nothing unusual, right? Well, today I look in the mirror and find deep, angry, and red stretch marks all over my stomach, hips, thighs, lower back, and chest. Is this normal? Are stretch marks possible with weight loss, and could this have been caused because of how much I lost within the first week? I've been staying within my calorie limit and if I go a bit over I burn off the excess calories. I allow myself one cheat meal a week to keep cravings at bay. I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong here, I've always known stretch marks to be a sign of weight gain. :( [link] [comments] |
