| People rudely commenting on a woman's "flatness" after healthy weight loss Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:18 PM PDT First off, I'm not sure if this is the right sub to ask for advice on, if not please direct me elsewhere. In the past few months, I have helped my mother (39) to begin eating healthier following moderately bad blood test results (potential for pre-diabetes and such). She did not begin any fad diet just general eating more veggies, cutting out sugar and unhealthy refined carbs. Of course, as a result, she has dropped a few kgs in weight. Going from around 65kg to 60kg. A positive of this is that she has completely lost all of the excess abdominal fat that made her feel very insecure due to looking almost as though she was pregnant. However, now she often comes home very upset by both men and women at work or in a grocery store telling her that since she has lost weight she has no butt or breasts. I think such comments are absolutely horrendous and completely inappropriate but she seems to be very demotivated despite knowing that she lost the weight for the benefit of her health. I personally place health way above appearance and I am disgusted by the fact that some people feel it is okay to state the weight loss is bad as "there is nothing to look at anymore". But to my mother who is naturally a petite woman as am I, it seems to be a big deal and I am not quite sure what to tell her to ensure she doesn't begin eating unhealthily again. If anyone has past experience dealing with such people or perhaps any personal advice I would truly appreciate it. [link] [comments] |
| For too many of us, weight gain was a defense mechanism to make ourselves invisible Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:08 PM PDT A comment on another thread really jumped out at me, something like "being overweight makes you at once highly visible and invisible." Some of us have reasons that we wanted to be invisible. If you received unwanted attention when you were smaller in size, or have dealt with any kind of sexual trauma, weight gain can be a way to avoid that type of attention. The thought goes: if I make myself unattractive enough, they will leave me alone. It was a coping mechanism—a very unhealthy one, but an effective one. It all made me reflect on what a psychology-rooted challenge weight gain/loss can be. In efforts to dig up and work through some of my psychological barriers, I was reading an article "Wearing Your Weight As Armor". Trigger warning: the article deals with sexual assault. I feel like maybe some people out there might benefit from reading this very insightful article, as a reminder that you are not broken for reacting to your circumstances with food. You are not alone in your struggles. Everyone looks for a way to avoid pain in their lives. Together, we are learning healthier ways. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:24 PM PDT I am tired of being obese. I am tired of being invisible to people, and the extra time and energy it takes for people to see me beyond my size. Then there is the energy I put into finding cloths that fit and I still look ridiculous. The energy I put into not eating food then eating it anyway. I could go on... I put so much time and energy into life and it just goes no where because of my weight. I feel like If I stop wasting my time and energy on the parts of my life that don't go anywhere and use that on getting my weight under control maybe I can get something done. I don't really know where to start tho, but until I get it figured out I have meal replacement shakes until I get a menu and I can walk every weekday until I figure out how to exercise. I know I will also need to stop smoking all together and drinking for the most part. Hopefully I can lose 25lbs by the end of the year! Here is to tommorow! Which I hope is the start of a utterly horrible week and the first steps to actually doing something about my weight. [link] [comments] |
| NSV: Nearly binge free for the first time in a very long time Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:06 PM PDT For reference: SW: 196; CW: 181; GW: 155. 5'9", 23F. Title says it all, really. Even when I first started this journey, I'd have one day per week that was a designated binge day ot else I'd give up. And prior to that, forget it. I binge ate all the time. I couldn't trust myself around nutella, cookies, ice cream, pretzels, pretty much anything; at one point I gave up on myself and accepted that food was my vice, thank God it wasn't cocaine or something. But, through CICO, I've learned how to enjoy my favorite foods even while sticking to my budget and losing weight. I've had cookies, fast food, ice cresm, In short, there are no "cheat" days because I feel no need to cheat. So, for example, today I bought a carton of cookies. In the past I would have devoured at least half of it in one go and felt awful after. Today, I had one cookie because I felt like having one and that was it. I was good. I didn't binge! I'm so proud of myself! I can finally just enjoy one cookie like a normal freaking human! I have been stuck in the 180s for several months. My weight has finally started budging again after cutting out "binge days." I am only 2 pounds away from my first goal, which is to break the 180s curse. I can hardly believe it. [link] [comments] |
| 13 weeks into a new journey from 428 to 374 Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:11 PM PDT Male Age 27 - 5'9 SW - 428 CW - 374 GW - 220 Goal - Lose 150 pounds in 18 months or 78 weeks Start of week 13 today Plan to weigh myself every first Sunday until the goal reached. https://imgur.com/a/zBZ2CQN - Pics and Videos of Progress https://imgur.com/a/BzIQSi9 - Tracking 1 https://imgur.com/a/S6I0giu - Tracking 2 https://imgur.com/xMRhoAc - Bonus video of me shredding on guitar https://imgur.com/a/FMbzYF6 - Bonus video of me singing in September Tldr 1 - Rough year, dad died from Covid, discovered this sub, making progress. Tldr 2 - My progress is attributed to being more knowledgeable, more disciplined, more confident, and having a great support system. Keeping this post as brief as possible. Grew up overweight, made fun of, no girls interested, the usual. In 2014 I went to the gym for the first time seriously. Placed 3rd in a deadlifting competition in college. Got dismissed from college in 2015. Went home, was depressed. Got back into school studying music. Last year 2019. I started the year doing a 40 day fast. The hardest thing I ever did. Told myself that this year I was going to work on breaking out my comfort zone and become more disciplined. This year 2020. Dad died from Covid in May. Family devastated. Now man of the house. Lost a good friendship in early June. Pretty much sad all the time. A good friend took me on a camping trip to encourage me in late June. I discovered Keto sub after the trip. Been doing Keto since July. Also doing OMAD on weekdays and EF on weekends. Lastly, including some form of cardio and strength training every day. Same meal every day (Vegetarian) and lots of water Three eggs Olive oil Avocado Mushrooms Kale Spinach Tofu Vegetarian Meat Cheese Greek Yogurt Flaxseed Chia seeds If you have any comments, concerns, and recommendations feel free to share. Thanks for all the encouragement on this platform everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Bought new clothes for the first time in....forever Posted: 04 Oct 2020 04:47 PM PDT Ooooooooh boy, what a crazy few days it's been. A little background to start - I'm a 5'11", 32 year old guy who has been fat since puberty. I have never had any idea what it's like to feel thin and have never felt good about the way I look. For the last year I've been losing weight, down to 185 lbs from a start of about 265 (probably higher but this is the highest recorded weight I have). I wish someone had warned me - instead of feeling thinner, I just feel like I used to be fatter. When I see myself in the mirror I'll see the same person I've ever seen but when I look at pictures from before I started I'll think "man, I was way fatter than I thought I was." It's a total mind**** and defies ALL logic. I went out last week on a whim and bought some new clothes - nothing fancy, just some jeans and a couple shirts. I'm a nurse so I basically wear nothing but scrubs and pajamas, so I've gotten away with buying no new clothes at all over the last year. Buying clothes has historically been a nightmare, not because I couldn't find anything big enough, but I just hated how anything looked on me. I went to the waiting room with 6 pairs of jeans, ranging from 42 waist to 36 (yeah right, I thought - like I could fit into a 36), and a few shirts from L to XXL because I had no idea what size I was anymore. Everything was huge on me. I was sure I got something wrong, but when I came back with 32 waist jeans and a couple medium shirts, not only did they fit, but I got to see what I looked like when I wasn't wearing clothes with the purpose of hiding myself inside of them with mountains of extra fabric. I looked good - and I actually felt like an adult for the first time in years. Looking back at it I can't believe how much I was hiding myself away from the world because of my severe insecurity. Weight loss doesn't solve our problems, but for me it has started to make it easier for me to be the person I want to, but never thought I could be. TL;DR - I lost a bunch of weight, bought some new clothes that actually fit my body, and gained some confidence. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:27 PM PDT Last year, I had started my weight loss journey. Down from 263 lbs to 180 lbs today. When I was obese, I would constantly think to myself, "once I get fit, things are going to be so much better!". It's not. I got rejected today at work, the first time I've put myself out there since I've lost the weight. I'm still working all the time, I still have legal issues, I'm still trying to save up and move out of my parents house, I'm still driving my same shitty car, I still don't have any friends. And being rejected today has made me feel lower than I ever have, and makes me want to give up eating right and exercising because... what's the point? I know this is supposed to be a happy subreddit, but I just thought things were going to change drastically once I achieved a normal BMI, and they didn't. How can I find motivation to keep at this lifestyle if it feels hopeless either way? I realize that a lot of things that I have in my life that I'm not happy with have nothing to do with weight, I don't know, maybe I had my hopes too high or maybe the terrible feeling of being turned down today is talking. I finally had confidence in myself after so many years overweight/obese to make myself vulnerable and put myself out there again, and I got shot down, and I'm really struggling to hold onto hope/motivation tonight. While losing weight is awesome, helps you stay healthier, makes you feel good physically and gives you energy, it's important to realize life is still life. Everything isn't magically going to change. I do plan to start lifting weights in my free time to start building muscle mass, maybe that'll give me the motivation to keep a healthy lifestyle. Can I ask if anyone else here has felt this way, and how you dealt with it? Sorry again for such a negative post in an otherwise positive, uplifting community. r/loseit has really helped me so much to get to where I am today. I just feel awful tonight. [link] [comments] |
| Well I gained 20 lbs in the past 2 months. Guess it’s time to start tracking again. Posted: 04 Oct 2020 11:00 PM PDT This is a commitment to start food tracking again. I was 250 lbs before leaving for work today first time I weighed myself in over a month. I didn't even know I was gaining so ill have to track my eating habits again. Its definitely food not exercise with me because I run 24 mi a week and do Brazilian Jiu jitsu 3 hours a week but I eat a ton. Yesterday it was a three egg omelette, an English muffin, chips and salsa, 2 bon bons, 3 bowls of jambalaya and 2 twice baked potatoes plus an energy drink and 2 beers. Probably around 3500 calories and that was a pretty lean day. I'm back up from a weight cut to 210 lbs for a competition in March but I thought my sustained weight was around 230 lbs. So no beer alone no energy drinks and no more sweets planning on keeping a journal to keep me honest. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 04:23 PM PDT I don't know why but I can feel that something is different this time. I've gone on this massive "self-improvement" warpath. One of which is eating healthier. I'm reading more, self-studying, learning guitar, another language, exercising, and so on. Got on the scales today and I've lost another 1.3KG this week. I really feel this is sustainable too. I'm not starving myself but I'm allowing myself to be hungry. I've reduced my portion size. I would only stop eating dinner when I got full, now I'm eating just enough so I won't be hungry until the next meal comes along. I'm just kind of excited. The problem is, I don't want to be excited. This is a marathon not a sprint. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 09:02 AM PDT Went shopping at Kohls for some new cloths and bought some dress shirts in large instead of XL. My old XL shirts feel way to lose now. Size 38 jeans are way to lose but size 36 are still kind of snug around the thighs. Feels good to be back into a size shirt that I haven't been in since I got out of the Army. Finally staying under 220 as well. Less than 20 pounds to go before I hit 200 pounds which is where I was at when I left the Army. Hopefully I am there by Christmas time. Probably will aim for 180 pounds by summer time now. Just so exciting to feel like it is possible now. Before starting my weight loss journey I felt like it was impossible. I seriously had zero confidence that i'd be at where I am today. It just felt so far off and hopeless. But here I am now. I hope this can be motivation for other people. Its tough to think into the future when you feel stuck. Feeling stuck in life the last thing I wanted to feel was hungry. Past trauma and life in general was hard enough. Feeling hungry was something I never wanted to experience again. Defiantly didn't want another negative feeling, but now I don't view hunger as a negative feeling. Feeling hungry all the time actually goes away. My body has adapted to my new calorie intake. [link] [comments] |
| I’ve gained 70lbs since getting into a relationship... Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:06 PM PDT I am just in shock right now. I looked back on MyFitnessPal and I have gained 70lbs since getting into a relationship a little over a year ago. I can't believe I let myself get this bad. I'm just so ashamed and disgusted with myself. So upsetting. My boyfriend is absolutely amazing and always tells me how beautiful I am but I am just not feeling it at all. I don't know how he's still with me after gaining this much weight?! Ugh I'm so gross. I really really need to be focused this time and get this weight off. This is not okay. Good news is I have lost 8lbs just this week!! I know it's probably just water weight and it's easier to lose being this big but I'm hoping to keep up the consistency and shed the pounds. CICO is about to my life for awhile. Goal is to lose a total of 157lbs... so scary and so far away. I'm ready for the journey for sure. Any advice on staying motivated and not being so discouraged by the scale?? [link] [comments] |
| We forget we change in personality as we change in weight Posted: 04 Oct 2020 03:06 AM PDT I don't mean that in a way as everyone who is big is mean, or skinny is nice. But in where you love your body the most is where you are most loved because you love yourself and it reflects. I remember reading a post an overweight lady made a long while ago, about how she was treated before and after losing weight. She was so upset with the realisation that the better people were to her when she lost weight. Seeing a post from today it reminded me of that old post, but with how many people commented I doubt my comment would be seen, as well as thinking other people should see this too. So back to this woman, she saw people were nicer to her, invited her places, her husband was more affectionate. But eventually she realised it wasn't because her appearance most attitudes changed towards her, she figured out the healthier and happier she got the more approachable and liked she was. She wasnt disliked or excluded because she was fat, she was because she got tired easy and couldn't keep up or complained so she stopped going out. Her husband wasn't unattracted to her, she hated her appearance and it affected their love life. People didn't avoid her because she was fat, she had a bad attitude because she didn't like herself. Obviously there will be shallow people who only think you're worthy if you look a certain way, but don't be mad that people treat you better now. You think your new boyfriend wouldn't have given you the time of day if you were how you used to be? Of course he would, he's still your partner who loves your personality, you just probably became more confident in yourself and it reflected on people who were interested in you. You may have not even gone out because you hated how you looked, I know I did. Not everyone who is nice to you after your change is nice because you're skinnier or more attractive to them now, it's because you're happier and healthier that you've achieved your goal. I can't remember exactly where I read that woman's post, but I know I was the same. Hated people speaking to me, hid my body, thought I looked disgusting. Now I put pride in my appearance and am more confident and social now, and it is entirely because I'm happier how I am now. Please don't be upset when you notice a change in people's behaviour towards you, a majority of people don't respect you based on your weight. You're happier, and people like happy people.

| How do you "enjoy the process"? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 11:27 PM PDT I saw someone's comment the other day about enjoying the process of weight loss, and it got me thinking. To be honest, I'm a number chaser. I want to see progress (doesn't everyone?) and I get discouraged very easily. I'm 32/F/388lbs (started at 446) and I have been taking progress pics since August (didn't think to take one at my highest in March (didn't actually think I'd get this far! ) but I don't see a change even though my dad/coworkers have commented. So I know it's happening. But it made me start to think...how am I "enjoying the process"? How does one do that, when you really want to be thinner/more fit NOW even though you know it takes time? I guess I am enjoying having way more energy? I enjoy the feeling of tired muscles after a work out (even if I complain the next day). It's so hard to focus on health over weight, because I want both. So give me some insight, hive-mind: How do YOU enjoy the process? [link] [comments] |
| Any other lurkers out there that are sick of being overweight?? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 01:45 PM PDT Not too sure if this is against the rules or not but I have been all over the place with the weight loss. Last year I did 30 lbs over 7 months. Felt the greatest I've felt ever. Then hopped back on it after gaining 50 lbs and lost 25. Now I've gained back 7 after my best friend passed. Honestly itd just be so nice to go on this journey with a like minded person because no one around me is quite ready to take the step. I have been lurking here for the past few months and honestly I'm sick of the excuses im giving myself and I want to be better in general and so i can do a 6 hour hike in Peru. If anyone else is fed up of being unhappy with yourself, your body, and your willpower please PM me and maybe 2 will be better than 1. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| NSV: I guess I’m a runner now ?? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 01:14 PM PDT 19F 5'5 - 135 SW - 120 CW - 110 GW I started running a few times a week at the beginning of September. I loved it right off the bat, but I had this bad feeling in the back of my mind that I would quit after a couple of weeks. I have a habit of getting really motivated about exercising for a little bit, then quitting shortly after when I don't see instant results. This time, I refused to let myself set a long term goal. Long term fitness goals are my greatest enemy. No more "I'm gonna run a mile every day for 30 days" and then quit after day 4. I told myself that this time, I'm gonna take it day by day. At the beginning of the day, if I think I'm able to go for a run, then I'll go. That day is a successful day. If I don't want to go running the next day, then ok. This doesn't mean that I'm going off track or ruining my chances of reaching a specific goal, it's just one day. I'll try again tomorrow. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my strategy is working. It's actually working. Today I realized that I have been running for over 4 weeks. 4 weeks!! That is insane to me. If you told me 2 months ago that I'd be able to run for 25 minutes without stopping, I would absolutely not believe you. But it's true. And I do not plan on stopping. Just gonna keep taking it day by day. [link] [comments] |
| No cheat day (most of) October! Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:56 PM PDT Background: Hi everyone! In 2018, I managed to lose a little over 70 pounds (230–>155). Since than, I've climbed back up to 190. I didn't really fall off the wagon, I still count calories Monday through Thursday but take the weekend off. I just failed to adjust from when I changed jobs. I went from retail (moving all day) to desk job (not moving for most of day). So I guess taking three cheat days a week really started adding the pounds. I decided to really get serious for the rest of the month and calling it No Cheat Day October! The goal is simple, I have to eat reasonably healthy and cannot go over my calorie count for the rest of October. Just thought I would throw it out there, in case anyone wanted to join me. Together we can lose the weight! :) [link] [comments] |
| My first experience with others opinions on my weight loss journey. Posted: 04 Oct 2020 09:07 PM PDT For the first time since I started losing weight I had someone (my roommate) comment about it in a way that pissed me off. After work one day (at the end of May), I decided to go for a walk on this easy hiking trail/walking path near me. About 1 minute into it I realized I physically couldn't do it. I had to stop and turn around half way and was in so much pain the next few days because I pushed myself so hard. I cried the whole way home because I was so ashamed. It was my moment of realization. Since then and over the last 5 months, I have been using the Lose It app to track my weight, the food I eat, and stick to a certain calorie intake (between 1200-1500 depending on my movement/exercise for the day). I have also added exercise into my routine by doing work out videos 1-2 times a week and walks (2-3 miles) a couple times a week as well. With these changes, I have managed to lose 45lbs. When I was talking to my roommate about eating healthier the other day (she is trying to make life style changes too), she mentioned that I maybe I was losing weight too quickly and that I needed to eat more. That I wasn't losing weight in a healthy way. She then began talking about people who lose weight unhealthy and how they gain it all back because what they're doing isn't sustainable. It hit a nerve and It hurt. I have been obese my entire life. I have never had a healthy relationship with or even understood a lot of basic things about food. I am 30 and JUST learning the difference between genuine hunger and a craving. I'm learning how many calories are in certain foods and what normal portions are. I am working hard, learning, trying to be healthy, and most importantly making slow progress that I AM sustaining. I didn't think my weight loss was too fast but I have no clue what a "standard" weight loss timeline is. It's just really shitty to have someone tell you what you're doing is wrong or comment about your choices. Part of me thinks it's because they are seeing my progress and not seeing any of their own but I don't want to assume negative intentions. Maybe she really was concerned about my well-being, but it definitely didn't come across that way. Now I feel less comfortable being open about my choices and habits, which I'm already reserved about anyway because of how personal my weight and my weight loss journey is for me. I don't know. I'm just rambling and maybe this isn't the right place for this post. It's unfortunate because I feel GOOD. I'm proud, I have energy, I'm gaining confidence, I'm sleeping better, I'm growing as a person, and I'm making important changes. Fuck her and her shitty opinions about my life choices. I'm happy with everything I have accomplished and can't wait to see where I am in another 5 months. [link] [comments] |
| Why can't I lose the weight again? I lost it all 5-years ago and regained it all and even more Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:59 PM PDT Hi all, I'm morbidly obese - nearly 24-stone. I'm only 21-years old. In the past I have been assessed for BED (binge eating disorder) - it turned out to be negative. I wanted that diagnosis so I could at least get some help. I'm currently under an obesity clinic doing an emotional eating group. It's a lot like the OCD treatment I've had before. What I mean by this is that we are learning to delay binging episodes; like with OCD, you have to learn to delay the compulsion until you eventually stop doing it. I know a lot of this stuff already. Also how that binging is a cycle - again like with OCD. I have OCD, anxiety issues, depression and autism. The obesity makes the depression a lot worse. I also have physical issues due to the obesity. I know I can lose weight, but I'm lacking so much motivation and everyday I say, "I'll start tomorrow." How can I get out of that mindset? I've lost weight before. I'm living proof of myself that I can do it. So why can't I do it again? I think I know why. I don't deserve happiness and I don't deserve to feel good. I'm depressed. How do I get out of this depressed state of mind and start losing that weight? I can't keep living this way. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 4 Posted: 04 Oct 2020 04:35 PM PDT Hello losers, I hope you're having a marvelous Sunday! Anyone out there meal prepping? Whathca cooking? Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): 208.4 this morning. More where I expected to be. Stay within calorie range (1700 weekdays to practice eventual maintenance, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): Under maintenance. Barely scrapping 1500. Not sure if I even want dinner but I should get some lean protein in if nothing else. Exercise 5 days a week: Vigorous cleaning is all I had in me today kids. 2/4 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Did some. Could use more. Self-care time (work on not using food as a reward): About to have a nice spa length shower & full body skin care routine. Try a new recipe once a week: Not sure what I've got cropped up this week yet. I may make a veggie concoction for my SO or a mix up on some cowboy caviar. Be more mindful, present in my body & express gratitude to avoid the hedonic treadmill: My body is tired. My brain is also tired. I am not hungry in a weird way where I don't even want to binge away the stress. It's weird & an uncomfortable place to be. But I'm still here striving kids. Your turn! How are you all coping today?

| I'm having a hard time adjusting to major changes. It feels never ending. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 01:38 AM PDT I am a 34 year old man who is one week into my new diet. I decided to try the Nutrisystem diet, thinking it would be easier and more structured. I also suffer from panic disorder and I smoke. I guess I just want to write about my story and hopefully get some reassurance from others who have done this. I am 418lbs when I started and otherwise in good health. I am scared. There are no excuses for letting myself get into this situation. I don't know the reason for it.. Depression, anxiety... Eating to feel safe? I don't know, but what I know is that I'm having some sort of wake up call after having an extreme panic attack a week ago. Before I started, I drank mountain dew and ate whatever. I treated my body like crap. It's shameful, really and I hate myself for it. I decided I can't just continue on like that. It has to change and it has to change right now. So, my panic has gotten so bad that my doctor has decided I should increase my celexa (ssri) from 20mg to 30mg. So now I'm dealing with side effects from that, mostly sweating and insomnia and feeling sick. I'm drinking plenty of water, and I'm so miserable. The taste of the food isn't that great but I don't care about that. I am sick. I am downright sick to the point where I don't want to get out of bed. I'm likely enduring caffeine withdrawal, sugar withdrawal, and medicine side effects for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, I sometimes don't know if I'm going to survive this. I just want to feel better. I weighed myself yesterday and I was 413. 5lbs down but likely water weight. I just want to feel better. Does anyone have any advice that has went through such dramatic changes all at once? I guess I just want to know if I'm putting myself in danger from the massive changes or if it will get better. It's hard to see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you all for your time in reading this. I just want to be a better person and healthy. [link] [comments] |
| How do you count calories when you don’t cook the food? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 08:26 PM PDT So I live at home with my mom and she does the cooking/shopping. I have no idea how to count my calories with her cooking. We something different everyday and our food isn't portioned into protein, vegetables and carbs. It's like one day we have pasta, the other day we have fish and rice and then we'll have soup or tacos or whatever. My mom tries to make these meal tha healthier. So we will have protein noodles or whole wheat noodles. My mom uses zero prepackaged foods. She controls everything that goes into it so she's not adding any of those flavor packets. But when we have those type of meals I'm not sure how to count the calories for that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 01:22 AM PDT Hey guys! So I realized no matter how healthy, or sadly unhealthy I eat during the day, I NEED to eat and pound snacks or anything at night. It's almost like I can't fall asleep until my belly is full of crap. I naturally have a hard time falling asleep and needing to eat whatever I can doesn't help when I'm lying there trying to sleep. So here I am, asking how to not give into those cravings? How to not be hungry at night? And how to best prevent myself from pounding god knows how much crap at 1 am? I know the answers simple. Say no to yourself, don't have snacks around, DO NOT LEAVE BED. But is there anything else I can try because I clearly don't have the self control to get through this! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:41 PM PDT When I was 16 I was very overweight. I was around 90kg. I decided to train hard and smart and I ended up losing a bit over 30kg by the time I turned 17. I maintained a healthy weight until i became 19 and then suddenly I was back to being even heavier than I was before. I reached 100kg by the time I turned 20 (I turned 20 in Jan of this year). I have had lots of stresses like everyone else this year. For the past year I have been coming in and out of hospital because I have Crohn's. I decided a couple months ago while I was laying in my hospital bed being miserable that I wanted to lose weight and keep it down. I have lost 15KG so far (I am now 85kg😁) Anyone else here lose a bunch of weight, put it on and then lose it again? Sorry If that was kind of confusing. I kinda feel like a weirdo for this even happening to me. And I forgot how hard it was. [link] [comments] |
