| Posted: 17 Apr 2020 05:44 PM PDT My personal experiences with my Dad in specific has been so ridiculous I don't even know where to start. Just 5 minutes ago he went on some angry rant about how i'm selfish because I don't always eat everything my family does. He claimed i'm selfish because last week my Dad wanted to order a bunch of pizzas for dinner but I told him I was going to get a salad from Wendys, but I'd still get the pizzas for him. Ultimately he didn't want to get pizza unless I also ate it for some stupid reason, so I ended up getting him a double cheeseburger and large fries, but apparently that wasn't enough to make him happy. We even ended up ordering 5 pizzas for dinner the next day but he's still angry that I too wouldn't eat the pizza the exact day and time he wanted me to. His logic is just so idiotic in general, it amazes me. He also seems to think that if someone eats something, they should be willing to eat it all the time at any time. He'll use this as a point if I ever decline food. For example yesterday he said my brother was picking up burgers from KFC and asked how many I wanted, I told him I would just eat the chicken breast I already prepped and he responded by angrily telling me to "stop the bullshit" because he's saw me eat a burger the week prior. Then he went on and on about how it's bullshit that I'll eat a burger when I want but not when he offers. How someone can think like this is beyond me. Anyways, i'm just staying focused on my goal and ignoring this guy / obstacle. My emapthy is with all of you also dealing with people sabotaging or making your goals harder to achieve.

| Lost my first 12 pounds .. ever! Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:16 AM PDT When I was in highschool and middle school I always had an extracurricular that involved exercise. But then I quit for a while and started gaining weight. Almost twenty pounds. On top of that life hit me, and I was pregnant right out of highschool. One baby later and I gained nearly forty pounds and the baby weight never really came off. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and I very frequently eat garbage or cheap fast food because it tastes good and fits my budget. But on March 9th I decided to go on a calorie diet and choose healthier options. Today, it's official i've lost twelve pounds! But the most amazing thing is that after removing most junkfood from my house and eating less my appetite to overeat has vanished! I'm so happy with myself. Sorry for the wall of text I just wanted to tell somebody even if it's the reddit void ! Edit: Thank you so much for the support everyone it means so much!!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2020 05:57 PM PDT I think everybody needs to hear this. Every time you go for a walk when you don't feel like it, I'm proud of you. Every time you decide to have a glass of water instead of a sugary drink, I'm proud of you. Every time you park farther away from the door for easy steps, I'm proud of you. Every time you find a healthier substitution for a food your drawn too, I'm proud of you. Every time you make that new simple decision to live a healthier and happier life, I'm proud of you. Went over your calories because Wednesday was rough? Maybe it was raining and you didn't get that jog in? Kids at home and Hamburger Helper was easy? I'm proud of you. You don't have to win all the time. You don't have to burn 5k calories a day, you don't have to be a size two. I'm proud of you for making decisions to lead a healthier and happier life. The consistency of these decisions over time far outweigh the negative effects of an occasion. Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees, don't let an instance drag you down. Get back on the horse and live the lifestyle you want and that you deserve. And remember, that 25 year old guy on reddit that likes weightlifting and computer programming and dark souls and beer is proud of you and rooting for you every step of the way because lifestyle changes don't come easy. This shit's hard, and the only way it gets easy is when it get's hard first. You're doing an amazing job and I'M PROUD OF YOU! [link] [comments] |
| I lost 4-5 inches and 40-50 pounds since January. Posted: 17 Apr 2020 02:16 PM PDT I got out of a horrible relationship where all I did was stress eat and sit around last year. I was unemployed, dealing with mental health issues from the military, and really struggling, I had taken a couple of jobs after I got out but couldn't make anything seem to work. I ended up getting a job overseas with a friend I have known since college really stepping up to help me. After i moved last year i started slow, i found a gym near me and went everyday. It didnt matter what i did as long as i went. If i wasnt doing a class i was on the stairmaster because my joints hurt from the military and running on the treadmill was painful. I did spin class, circuit class, and even some yoga. I made friends in class after showing up for months who I now hang out with. Even though I havent had any friends since I got out of the military. Eventually I started going on Saturdays and even sundays. Then coronavirus hit, I started running, because I had too and I wasnt going to f-ing stop. It was painful, my legs were in unbelievable pain, my knees were on fire, my muscles felt like they were separated from the bone and about to fall off. But I kept going, if I couldn't run a mile I would walk for 3. Eventually I could do a mile, then a mile and a half. Not quickly but I did it. 25 minutes for a mile and a half became 20, 18. I can do a mile in under 8 minutes now. I workout everyday. I have a simple bodyweight exercise routine, it's simple but I do it everyday. 20 pullups, 20 pushups, 20 crunches, 20 squats, 20 dips, and 20 pike pushups. And I run at least a mile. If I can do more I do it. I only stop until after I want to puke. I eat under 2000 calories everyday. I'm taking back control of my life. Noone can stop me. Never again. [link] [comments] |
| Lost count of days, gained 10lbs in a few weeks, something’s gotta change and fast. Posted: 17 Apr 2020 01:28 PM PDT For the past few weeks eating has become a past time. Literally the highlight of my quarantining has been eating or gorging on snacks. I've been to the 7/11 across the street at least once a day (sometimes 2-3 times, don't worry I wear gloves and a mask though I should refrain from going so often). I'd eat whenever I would watch tv. If I had a meal I HAD to have a snack maybe some cookies or chips felt like it was a law of the universe. Yesterday I had a realization. My brother was going to the store to get some groceries and he asked if I wanted anything. I told him no, not because I wasn't hungry but because I was simply just tired of eating. That was a first. Checked the scale this morning for the first time since late February. I gained ~10lbs. Wow. I'm eating shit and feeling like shit all day. There's a large trashbag next to my bed filled to the top with junk. I am going back to calorie counting. I've lost 35lbs I can do it again with some discipline and planning. I'm also fixing up my bike to add some cardio to the mix along with some push ups. I can't use this current situation as an excuse to "give up and not care." Using this post to mark the beginning of my next weight loss journey! [link] [comments] |
| how can I lose weight if my parents don't cook or buy groceries and only order pizza and takeout? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 03:20 PM PDT Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl and I live with my mom, dad, and brother. I haven't weighed myself for 3 or 4 months because we don't have a scale. the last time I weighed myself was at my friends house and I weigh 315 pounds. I'm 5 feet and 5 inches. I always knew I was fat but seeing that number shocked me. I really want to lose weight but every thing I've read online so far talks about eating healthy. I know diet is super important. my problem is there is never any good food in our fridge. in fact our fridge is usually empty. I'm not overexxagerating. it is almost completely empty right now. the reason is because my parents dont buy groceries. I dont think we've had groceries for over 4 years no lie. my brother doesnt care at all. basically my parents order food for us every day. to give you an example for breakfast they'll order mcdonalds coffee, breakfast sandwiches, etc. for lunch they'll order something like hotdogs for us. and then for dinner theyll order a pizza or chinese food. literally the only time we eat is when it's ordered and delivered. sometimes they just order and pick the food themselves. other times they ask us what we want specifically. let's say its mcdonalds, if I ask for a smoothie and nothing else they'll say that's all?? no you need to eat more and they'll order me a sandwich and wat h me eat it. they're the type of parents that you need to finish your food at the table or you can't go do your own thing until you're done. I honestly dont know what to do. when I was able to go to my friends house (thanks coronavirus) it was so different. food was homecooked, their mom gave us good treats like strawberries and popcorn. i really want to change but I dont know where to begin living in this house :( [link] [comments] |
| Getting treated better after weight loss Posted: 17 Apr 2020 06:15 PM PDT (English isn't my first language so I apologize beforehand for any grammatical mistakes). I know this topic has been posted dozens of times on this sub reddit but I never really realized how different people treat me after losing weight. I'm not by any means a super model but I've been told I'm good looking after I lost 40 lbs. the same people who ignored me and wouldn't give me the time of day treat me like I've been their friend for a long time. When I was obese, girls wouldn't even look in my direction. I got a girls number yesterday and I didn't even ask for it. And the worst thing about it is that she sat next to me in high school. And that was 2 years ago. What gives? I've been looking forward to being treated better because I've read numerous posts about this topic and now that I'm nearly at my goal, it feels like people are just really shallow. I'm a quiet person and I have social anxiety and don't really start conversations with people, but with the weight loss, I don't even have to try because people start conversations with me. Ik I should be happy that I'm treated better and I am but those lingering thoughts in the back of mind that keep on telling me that those people would not talk to me if I was 40lbs heavier. My anxiety has actually gotten worse because I'm not sure if people would actually like me if I was still obese. My personality hasn't changed a bit, I still lack confidence, but my social group has only gotten larger since. I honestly feel like a fraud and idk why. Anybody else going or went through the same issues I am going through? [link] [comments] |
| Accountability: Losing 23lbs in 5 months Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:03 AM PDT CW: 133lbs GW: 110lbs Height = 5'1 Over a period of 2 years I managed to lose about 60lbs through diet and exercise. For various reasons I've gained about 20lbs from the lowest weight I reached (114lbs) after maintaining it for the best part of a year so I know I can do it. I'm sticking to 1200 cal a day, might work out to OMAD if I'm busy but I'm going to get to my goal no matter what it takes. My goal weight is such that I'm in the healthy weight range and look best at the same time. Will post on here regularly, hope to be able to be motivated and motivate others on the way :) 04/17 = 133 [link] [comments] |
| struggling to lose the first pounds... why?? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:37 PM PDT I went to college thinking *I* wouldn't fall victim to the freshman fifteen. and then i lost to the freshman 20. tragic. up to 126 from my senior year low of 107. i've lost weight before (low carbs/calorie counting) and been successful. but now i've been home and doing CICO for 3 weeks, and i've lost a grand total of... ONE pound. any tips? I'm eating 1200 a day more or less and exercising every day! i'm not eating back exercise calories and i'm usually keeping relatively low carb. I have two big meals a day, maybe a granola bar or some fruits in between. i feel like the lack of weight loss can't be due to muscle gain either, it's only been a few weeks and it's just bodyweight/cardio. if you have any ideas please please let me know! i am very eager to get back to a comfortable size :( [link] [comments] |
| Are you sure that this is not too much ??? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:50 AM PDT Hewlo guys 👋🏻 (5'3 ft/162cm; SW: 163lbs/74kg; CW: 150lbs/68kg; GW: 128lbs/58kg) Today I have a little rant for you, and I would like to know if anybody experienced similar things. Since I started my journey to lose 35 pounds I was completely open with anybody. Now I am already 13lbs into it, and people seem to notice that I am serious about it this time. But when I talk about it with them, and mention my goal weight etc. I get answers like ,Don't you think that this is a little bit too much ?' or ,Oh no, if you loose so much there will be barely something left of you' etc. Like...what ? Can you please inform yourself Mathilda ? If I loose that much I am in a perfectly healthy BMI range - so why would you say such things ? I know it's a kinda small thing but it's a little bit exhausting to get this as an answer from 2/3 of the hoomans I talk to ._. Sorry for the negative vibes - hope you have a great week ☀️ [link] [comments] |
| Do I need a caloric deficit or a caloric surplus? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:04 PM PDT 21M, 5'7", 153lbs So for most of my life I have been pretty active and athletic, playing soccer competitively up until going to college in fall 2018. I usually hovered around 150lbs, but I always carried a little extra weight around my waist that I could never get rid of (due to poor diet habits at the time). After heading off to college I pretty much stopped being active and found myself around 168lbs this past Christmas. So I made it my goal to fix this and lose weight/gain muscle. I have been eating better and working out regularly for the past 3 months and managed to drop around 15lbs. The goal for me is to get leaner to about ~10% body fat and put on some muscle. I have been able to lose weight mostly due to my diet and maintaining a caloric deficit. I'm kind of doing a mix of OMAD/Intermittent fasting and it has worked relatively well and I am comfortable/happy with it. I try to avoid carbs and focus on vegetables/fruits and proteins for the most part, but I do not track my macros. I currently exercise pretty much everyday doing quite a bit of cardio as well as body weight exercises like pull ups, chin ups, push ups, various core exercises, and squats. There is not much variation to my work outs at all really. I am currently around 13% body fat and I figure I could lose around 8 lbs of fat to get to as lean as I would like to be. I would say I have a pretty good natural physique, however I definitely want to build my chest/shoulders/arms especially. Like I said, I have been in a caloric deficit for the past few months but I am not sure whether or not I am being inefficient. I have heard I need a caloric deficit to get rid of the fat but I have also heard I need a caloric surplus to put on the muscle. I want to know what the best way to approach my goals are. Should I continue to cut my weight down until I lose those 8lbs and then start a caloric surplus and real weight training? Should I stop with all the cardio/bodyweight stuff now and start real weight training, and does that mean I should go into caloric surplus or continue with deficit or do maintenance? If I work on building muscle now, will I also burn fat in the process? Should I start tracking my macros? What is the best/most efficient way approach to burning those last few pounds and start building muscle? Any advice at all would appreciated!! [link] [comments] |
| Separating food from good times/every day tasks- how do you do it? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:14 PM PDT I don't know when I started associating the two, but food just has to be in the picture all the time. Doing chores around the house? Better have a plate of snacks around to keep you company. Meeting up with friends? Why not at a restaurant or to a fast food joint to grab a quick bite on your way to wherever you're going? I remember taking a trip to the beach when I was in high school. We'd already eaten, but I'd seen commercials where people were enjoying a Coke on the beach with fireworks and fun music and insisted we stop so I could buy Coke in a glass bottle and a snack to go along with it. I sat at the beach, closed my eyes, took a big sip, And nothing. Idk why I thought it would be like in the commercials where suddenly an admittedly dreary day on the beach would play out like a fun commercial. But even now years later, the same issue remains. I have to eat when I'm studying. I have to eat when I'm watching TV. I have to eat when I'm relaxing or when I go to the park, or anywhere. Plus, I'm a bored eater and an emotional eater and now I feel like I'm always eating. I actually got a handle on it, but then I went on a month long trip to Italy for the summer and ate everything in sight because I wanted to seize the day, but it's slowly gotten worse and now socially isolating has made it 100x worse. I feel like I'm eating more calories in a day than I used to in a week. I ate a whole pie in six hours! I don't know what to do anymore. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:50 PM PDT UK M 6ft2/1.88 , 282lb /128kg Over the first 2 weeks of lockdown i dropped 14lb / 6.4kg by getting on stationary bike, cutting out snacking etc and since then ive been bouncing up and down 4lb / 1.8 every few days. Its becomming a source of depression that the weight loss has platued and I cannot visually see what shold be a relativly large change for 2 weeks. In the past I did lose a fair amount fo weight but over the last 5-10 years it has slowly crept up and trying to use this lockdown as the spur to get back down to not being define as obease and just overweight How have people kept positive about weight loss / not let the lack of visual change stop them falling off the weight loss path?

| Birth Control and Weight Management Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:52 AM PDT For background I'm a 5'4 31 y/o woman bouncing on the line between healthy and overweight BMI. Relatively active, I enjoy exercise, decently toned but not overly so. Average healthy-ish person overall no known issues. Always struggling to lose and maintain 10-20ish lbs. I have a 9 month old baby. I'd been on some form of birth control (tried almost everything) pretty much continuously from ages 16-30. I stopped when we were ready to start trying for a baby. For the first time in my life I noticed how much easier it was to lose and maintain my weight. So much so that I even mentioned it to my friends and my doctor. When I started BC I was so young. I didn't even know what my body was like without it. By the time I was 30 years old I felt like I was getting to know myself again. If you've gone on the TTC journey you might know what I mean (temps, cycles, how so many things work together). Among other things when I stopped BC one of the major things I noticed was how much less hungry I was. I felt satisfied for a much longer time. Less cravings. My weight fluctuated so much less. On BC I could easily fluctuate 5lbs in a day. Off BC it was more like 1-2lbs if any. I easily lost and maintained 10lbs without even trying. When I got pregnant I felt the same way, not overly hungry no crazy cravings. I wanted healthy food. It's crazy but I could actually see my body slimming while my belly was growing. I gained 24 lbs in total which was all fluid volume + baby related. I came out weighing 2lbs less than my pre pregnancy weight and lost another 5lbs in the next month or two. Maintained that easily for a few months. Then it was time to go back on birth control. In a month I shot up 10 lbs. Of course I was upset so that made it even worse. Kept bouncing up and down gaining another 5lbs, losing 10, back up and down again and again with counting calories. Right now I'm up 12lbs. Today I'm going back off birth control. We're fine to get pregnant or not but right now I'm going off because my body doesn't feel right on it anymore. Curious if anybody has had a similar experience or insights. [link] [comments] |
| How to support someone trying to lose weight? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 11:27 PM PDT I'm looking for advice to help my younger sister. She's going to be starting high school soon but is noticeably overweight and very insecure about it. She decided she's going to lose weight but is having a lot of trouble staying motivated and regulating her meals in our largely unsupervised household. I'd like to know how I can help her effectively. I'm too nervous to say something when I notice her getting her fourth serving of pasta, or when she has pizza for breakfast. When I try to encourage her to use her stationary bike while we watch television together she gets very upset and defensive. She does make good choices occasionally and I always applaud her efforts when I see them. Although she's very receptive to praise after exercising I hesitate to comment on what she eats in fear of being condescending. Food seems to be an extremely sensitive topic. I don't know what to do to help her. She isn't very receptive to making healthy choices and seems to respond to any suggestion with shame or anger. She's very aware of her overeating and lack of exercise but still can't control it. It breaks my heart to see her like this and I want to know how to be a better helper. What should I do in these specific situations and what can I do to help her overall? This is my first post on reddit and I'm not sure if this is the correct community. Please let me know if I'm in the wrong place. Also, I'm using a mobile device so the formatting and spelling may be affected accordingly. [link] [comments] |
| I'm fat, I hate my body and I'm going to be honest about it. [M19] Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:38 AM PDT Tldr: I'm fat. I played sports. I'm depressed. I can't lose weight. I want to gain muscle and lose fat. I don't like cardio I've been at least overweight my whole life. My highest weight was around 324 and my height is 5'8". While this sounds like a lot, I carry my weight very well and people are shocked everytime I tell them my weight. It's not purely body fat either because I've developed muscle since I was a kid. I played football from the time I was a kid to my freshman year of high school and during my first semester of college, I even tried rugby because to a southern kid like me, I just assumed it was football with no pads and polo shirts. My dad was pushing me to play sports since I was a kid. To be completely honest, I wasn't a bad football player either. I was never the biggest, or the most aggressive and I had a gas tank that always seemed to run on empty but at different points in my life I had different skills that football required. As a kid I was a lineman who could keep up with a running back. As a teen I was physically one of the strongest players even if I got tired fast. I always listened to the coaches. Through all the years of sports two things were consistent. I was always chubby and I was normally a part of the starting line. As a kid I even played both sides of the ball because I was talented enough and the teams were smaller for younger ages. This is just to add background knowledge to my body type and background. I didn't actually love football and I wasn't very aggressive. My dad basically didn't allow me to quit because I wanted to quit even before I got into middle school. He also had a habit of fat shaming but he was generally mean to everyone in a comedic way but sometimes he'd be serious about it. He lived in a different town and I lived with my mom. My self esteem fluctuates from loving myself, to hating everything about me. I've always been strong, fast, and athletic compared to what my scale implies. But I also have depression. What do I turn to when I'm depressed? Food of course. The delicious pillow that has a vice on all of us. I have done low carb multiple times and lost weight but I tend to fall off the wagon and start back eating regularly again. I've really tried to lose weight with diet, daily exercise, drinking lots of water, fasting, and I feel like nothing I do matters. I want to be around 275 pounds. I'd hope for even 250. My body goal is the either get rid of my fat and slim down, or gain muscle so I can feel better about my size. I don't really know what to do anymore. I know it's possible for me to lose weight because during low carb, I actually lost around 30 pounds or so. I just need to know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Dealing with a week with no progress Posted: 17 Apr 2020 10:47 PM PDT Hi everyone! I was just wondering how everyone deals with a week where there hasn't been much movement on the scales (if at all!). I'm a couple of weeks in and still trying to fine tune what I'm eating. I'm happy with my progress to date but this week has been pretty slow in regards to weight loss. I don't think this is a plateau as I'm only a few weeks into CICO. I also hope I'm not eating too many calories. I try to stick around 1200-1400 however on a few occasions I've gone over that in a controlled way rather than having a binge. I don't want to be too strict with my calories as I'm scared that I won't stick to it. My goal is to try and get in the habit of eating in this range and then fine tuning it somewhat later on. I also realise there are things that can cause some weeks to be slower with weight loss eg periods, low water intake etc. I want to look at it positively rather than thinking I've messed it up even though I've put the effort in. So how do you guys positively look at it? Do you see maintenance some weeks as progress? Do you look at the achievement of having not had any binges? Just curious. [link] [comments] |

And journal time of course. Try a new recipe once a week: Cheesy broccoli & rice casserole, beef burrito casserole, lentil spinach & sausage stew & Frankenstein'd dirty rice. 4/4 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Maybe tonight. For sure tomorrow. 40/50 pages. Drawing prompt every day: I'ma draw a silly collage of the very nineties/oughties fancy S in gel pen before bed tonight. Finally did it. And drew a silly river side scene & smudged gel pen for cool looking impact. Also, glitter every where! 12/17 days. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I'm grateful for athleisure wear. I've decided that's quarantine uniform now. How are you all doing? [link] [comments] |
| I just beat a platue and now I'm confused Posted: 17 Apr 2020 01:24 PM PDT So for the last almost 3 weeks I've been stuck at 198 lb. It was incredibly fustrating never seeing it go any lower. I considered eating at a maintenance starting on week 3 but yesterday I dropped to 197 and then today I checked and I'm 195.6. How does that happened? I just lost 2.4 pounds in 2 days! This isn't water weight either, I'm 2 months into this and well past my initial drop. The last 3 weeks I've been eating about the same if not slightly below my calorie budget. Either way I'm a bit confused but also extremely happy to see the scale go down finally. Has this happened to any of you? Or does anyone know why this happens? [link] [comments] |
| How did any of you get through your family being demeaning? Posted: 17 Apr 2020 06:25 AM PDT Hi y'all. I'm a 21F and I have PCOS and had issues with eating disorder in the past. When I was younger, my parents used to put me down for my weight when I was at a perfect size and now I'm am no where near that. I was on so many diet plans and had to go to so many doctors, thats the last thing I want to do now. I've been commuting to college for all of undergrad, so I never really got that time away from them. I'm a biology major and my school is an hour away, so I'm normally gone from 7-6 everyday. We have a better relationship now, but due to quarantine it's like all they want to do is shit on me for my weight when they aren't even in crazy shape either. Every weight program commercial they just have to bring up that I should try it or say a list of things that I "need" to do and I want to punch a wall. I've gotten serious about losing the weight and lost around 10 pounds in the last week or so, but that's still not good enough. They act as if it's for me, but when they see and hear that they upset me it's very evident it's for them. I've been working hard, but they just make me feel like if the number doesn't go down it won't ever be worth it. How did any of you push through your family and friends treating you like crap even when you're trying to lose the weight?? [link] [comments] |
