| NSV: I rode Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey! Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:09 PM PDT Age: 25 Height: 5'8" SW: 340 CW: 295 GW: 180 Exactly what it says in the title. The Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Hollywood has been the source of a lot of shame for me. In 2017 I visited the wizarding world for the first time and I had heard that the seats were restrictive, but I hadn't really had much experience being too large for rides at the time. I got a green light outside on the tester seat, which meant I should have been good to go. Unfortunately even with my dad pushing down on the restraint I couldn't get the 3 clicks needed to ride. I was escorted off and given a fast pass for my troubles. I was heartbroken. Fast forward to this year, and we're planning a vacation to Florida with my gf and her sister, and they're huge Potter fans. I wanted to lose enough weight to get on not only Forbidden Journey, but the new Velocicoaster and Hagrid coaster too (Universal is bad about size diversity on their rides) I've been trying to steadily lose weight and it's been a struggle and not nearly as fast as I'd like it to be. For my girlfriends birthday we decided to go to the Hollywood park. I don't look like I've lost any weight so I was apprehensive and was prepared to just wait outside the attraction while she rode it. I tried the tester seat anyway, and got a green light but still needed that extra push. But when I got to the front of the line, she was able to push down on the bar and get those three clicks easily. I watched a woman get escorted off for being too large in the car in front of my but I was allowed to ride. I was crying happy tears before the ride even started. I rode it 3 times. It was incredible, I wish I had ridden it 3 more times. Now I can look forward to our vacation in October and know I can ride everything and I don't have to be nervous. As a theme park but I'm still shocked I got on the most restrictive ride in the park. This has been a source of shame and embarrassment for years. I hadn't gone back to universal since. I think I'm still in shock tbh. Wow. [link] [comments] |
| The Difference between Male and Female with weight loss Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:32 AM PDT Fun fact: I am a nutritionist at a zoo that cares for both a male and female lion. The male is a healthy weight, and the female is overweight. The male gets, on average, 10 lbs of food a day. The female? THREE. The only significant difference between the two is their sex - essentially, their hormones. I think about this a lot when comparing male and female weight loss. I am female, down over 35lbs so far.... but SO is my male partner in the same amount of time (without dieting)! Of course, this is a wonderful thing. Simply eliminating our frequent fast food trips, dinner outings, and weekly drinking nights has been enough for him to lose the same amount of weight as I have. But he still gets fast food/drinks occasionally on his own (jerk), yet if I cheat once or twice in a week, my progress is all but stopped! Hormones are serious business. Men, be thankful of your weight loss advantage. And women, be proud of how you're able to achieve your goals DESPITE the challenge! (Note: I realize I am referring to a binary here, but trans and nonbinary people certainly still exist. I am making a generalization based on my observations and experience and unfortunately don't have any input outside of gender/sex binary). [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:22 PM PDT And here we go again... TL;DR: Lost 80lbs four years ago and felt great, now I'm 465lbs and feel terrible but the only way to go is back down... So here we go again lol M26 SW: 465lbs, CW: ~458lbs, GW: 200lbs Hi guys, so like the title said, I am starting my journey again. Four years ago I decided I had enough and I was going to get in shape for once and for all. And I did a great job honestly. I didn't reach my ultimate goal, but I got smaller than I had been in my adult life and was very active. I typically walked about 1.5 miles or more during the day at my job, and after work I would go to the park and power walk/jog 3-5 miles. That may not be much for some people, but for me that may as well have been climbing mountains lol. Anyway, long story short the following years were a little rough. I had a couple of messy break ups, got a DUI, and was laid off from my job... twice. Unfortunately I fell back on old coping habits and the weight quickly added up. And then COVID happened... Truthfully I probably gained 40-50lbs just last year. Staying holed up at home, ordering out every meal, with little to no activity was a recipe for disaster. My physical and mental health were at an all time low. SO, I finally decided (again) last week that I HAD to start trying again! Regardless of how I feel, or if I think I can do it. The fact of the matter is I have reached a point that not doing anything is literally just a slow death... not to be morbid. I've never been this heavy before. I'm about 70lbs heavier than my previous heaviest in fact. But as I thought about it, I realized that I simply don't have another option. And I think that realization finally gave me the kick to start trying again. As I'm sure so many of you kind souls can relate, I am just so terribly tired of restarting this cycle over year after year. At this point it feels like some cruel joke, that I'm just meant to be "the fat guy." But that's not who I am on the inside. Inside I'm an adventurer and a thrillseeker... but this mortal body is holding me back from doing the things I love. Honestly, at this point it's holding me back from living at all. So, I've taken the first step. I've started being conscious of what and how much I'm putting into my body again. Tracking my macros. Recognizing and breaking destructive habits. The whole 9 yards. Thanks to anyone who made it this far! Not sure exactly where this post was going, but I am welcome to any advice and definitely any well wishes! And if you are in the same place that I am, please let this be your trigger as well. Let's do this together :) [link] [comments] |
| Exercise vs. diet when you don’t have that much to lose Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:27 AM PDT This subreddit is supposed to be for people who have a lot or a little weight to lose, either way, so let's test that out. You often see people say things like "weight loss happens in the kitchen" and stress the importance of cutting calories, even to shorter women who don't have that much room in their TDEE to cut anyways. As a 5'4" woman, I haven't found that to be true. I've tracked my calories, accurately, and at most I only eat like 1600 calories a day max, which is actually within my TDEE. Any type of cutting below 1500 has just give me migraines and not led to weight loss. What has worked has been getting into a regular exercise routine. It's not rapid eight loss, but burning 200-300 extra calories is similar to the extra amount I would have to cut, and actually sustainable. Have any other shorter ladies had this experience? EDIT: Do. not. give. me. migraine. related. advice. [link] [comments] |
| Obsessed with weight loss but can't do it, feel like a defeat every day Posted: 03 Aug 2021 08:13 PM PDT Hello! (Sorry for my weak english) Seem like people get lot of good advices here so I thought I could give a try. I'm 6 feet 2 very overweight (270 pounds). Kind of funny since long time ago, I used to be too thin for my height (150 lbs) and I was wearing more t-shirt to look more fat. I went from 300 to 252 and I got back to 270. Not even sure how I lost weight, I think I was eating like very low calories each day even though it was hard, some moments I was doing a lot of cardio, sometime lift and strength training. It's alway random, can't really seem to find the way so I go everywhere. Was feeling better when I was doing cardio and strenght training, even though it was hard and often I felt like the efforts for the results in weight loss were not worth it. I was just watching other people who seem to eat whatever they want and yet be in a fine shape. So most of the time I was just saying to myself F*** it and just eat plenty of stuff before sleeping. Then I was back in the circle. I think when I check my calories, like 1200-1500 per day, it's getting too hard after 5-6 days. If I cut just a little per day, I feel like it will take forever just to lose one lbs. When I do 45 min exercice bike, which is very boring for me and tough, I just feel more hungry and often I eat more and feel bad for wasting efforts. Trying push ups and I feel stronger, but it's so hard to do with the overweight situation. Maybe I'm a bit bulimic, or somehow masochist with foods I don't know lol. How did you guys do to lose weight? I would like to hear your stories and tips. Did you just eat less without exercising and started exercising when you were at your ideal weight? Was cardio important to lose weight, or it's just better for cardiovascular and heart? How long did it take to lose weight? I feel like I can't accept losing just like 1 lbs per week, it would take forever to be like ''everyone'' else. I already lost a lot in the past, maybe like 70 lbs in a very short period of time. I was just eating 500 calories each day, did 45 min exercice bike in the day and running very fast in the night. Was very tough and I was alway tired, not focused mentally, was taking naps often, and ended up by getting a lot of lbs back anyway. I don't think it was safe to do that anyway, and it would be even worse now since I'm older. [link] [comments] |
| Thoughts on “accidental saboteurs”? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:11 AM PDT I'm reading Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb and I thought I'd share a section that seemed interesting. "Whenever one person in a family system starts to make changes, even if the changes are healthy and positive, it's not unusual for other members in the system to do everything they can to maintain the status quo and bring things back to homeostasis. If an addict stops drinking, for instance, family members often unconsciously sabotage that person's recovery, because in order to regain homeostasis in the system, somebody has to fill the role of the troubled person. And who wants that role? Sometimes people even resist positive changes in their friends: Why are you going to the gym so much? Why can't you stay out late—you don't need more sleep! Why are you working so hard for that promotion? You're no fun anymore!" I'm currently on my weight loss journey and this made me wonder if there are any such 'accidental saboteurs' in my life. For example, my mum has been very critical about my body growing up. However, she continues to cook unhealthy dishes for us despite me saying that I'd prefer if she used less oil etc. I've told my boyfriend that I would like to consume less and want to stay away from snacks, but he still jumps at opportunities to buy me snacks because according to him, he knows I like them and gift giving is his love language. I'm not blaming them or saying they have bad intentions - as the book has shared these are unconscious behaviours. To me this also makes sense in social circles - nobody wants to be the fat friend. When you take on that role, they can take a back seat because they know they will always look skinnier next to you. Weight loss is definitely a personal responsibility first and foremost but peer pressure is also very real and difficult to navigate. I guess my takeaway from this is that when dining out with others, I'll be more mindful about our conversations and actions - lest I feed my bad habits accidentally (no pun intended). Curious to hear your thoughts on this, or if you have ever encountered such incidents?

| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:38 PM PDT I started exercising vigorously in December of 2020, trying really hard to lose some weight and get more fit. I kept telling myself that it was just to get more fit but once I went back to university, I went the the gym 5-6 times a week, counted my calories extensively, skipped meals, and restricted myself. I started forcing myself to purge when I started binging and these binges started to become almost daily. Sometimes even twice a day. I got a boyfriend because I was lonely and my mindset was in a bad place. When we were intimate, he told me how great my body looked, but it was because of my bulimia. I didn't feel so great about myself even when he said that. I started working part time at a restaurant and with the free food, it kept on pushing the cycle of binging and purging. It took me 3 months for me to tell my friends and 4 months for me to get a school counselor. I had a month of counseling before coming back home and doing counseling with a provider near me. My purges continued but then it became twice a week, to once a week, once a month, and then now I haven't binged and purged in over a month. I study healthcare and I was embarrassed about my condition because I was educating patients with a condition that was the same as mine. I felt like a hypocrite. However, with counseling and reaching out towards people I can trust, I went on the path to recovery. I start listening to my body cues. I started not wearing my Fitbit. I started eating what I wanted to and still I was able to lose some weight when my goal was to recover from my eating disorder. If you ever run into a wall like I did, please get help! I tried to help myself, but often times, it's a combination of you, your mindset, and someone to guide you through it. Please lose weight in a healthy manner! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:44 PM PDT I'm in my late 30s and I've struggled with my weight (and my body in general) since I was a young child. For most of my adult life I have worn XXL t-shirts. There was a time when I hit 320 lbs. about 10 years ago when I would start stretching my shirts out as much as possible and would usually always wear a XXXL hoodie because none of my shirts fit, but a couple of years ago I started losing some weight until eventually I was able to buy some new XXL shirts that fit. Then my shirts started getting a bit looser than I had ever experienced before. I bought some XL t-shirts out of excitement but found that they were still too small, but from that point on I started buying new t-shirts I would like in both XL and XXL so I could have one that fit now and have one that would fit when I lost some more weight. Eventually I moved and had some big changes with my living situation and I started regaining all of the weight I had lost; then covid struck along with my recurring depression and binge eating and I reached 320 lbs. for a second time in my life. None of my XXL shirts would fit anymore and so I bought some new shirts, this time ordering the same shirt in XL, XXL, and XXXL (which is probably a bit overkill, and definitely 3x more than I should be spending on a new shirt). The last few months I have started to make a habit of getting at least 10,000 steps in every day, doing yoga, going to a few gyms using free trial guest passes to see which gym I like best, worked with a physical therapist to find appropriate exercises for me and she has given me a list of machines to use when I go to the gym. I've also stopped eating candy and vegan junk food and have started eating much healthier cutting out most of the heavily processed foods from my diet and eating a simple whole-foods plant-based diet instead of a vegan junk food diet. I also noticed that my XXXL t-shirts started to get looser as the number on the scale has slowly continued to go down. This morning I weighed in at 275 lbs. and I tried on one of my XXL t-shirts and it fit! I tried on a few others to make sure it wasn't just the cut of that particular shirt and most of the shirts I tried fit as well (there were a few that were still a bit snug). I have plenty of XXL t-shirts that fit me fine so I filled up a bag with all of my XXXL t-shirts and I am taking them to my local Goodwill to donate them in the morning. It feels so good to be back into XXL clothes, but even more so I feel much healthier eating less processed foods. I still have a lot of work to do to get to my ideal healthy weight, and I'm also trying to learn to love and accept myself and my body where it is now on the journey, but this victory felt really huge and I wanted to share it somewhere.

| Anyone here went on a strict meal plan and got through it without going insane? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 06:17 AM PDT My partner and I are working with a personal trainer who gave us VERY strict tailored meal plans and workout programmes specific to our fitness goals - mine is to lose weight and tone up, my partner's is to bulk up and gain more muscle. I'm not allowed any type of carb at all, no fruits, just lean meat, green veggies, whey protein shakes, chia seeds and almonds. We're on Day 2 and I already want to throw in the towel. I haven't expressed this to my partner because he's so excited about the challenge and to improve himself, and to see me improve myself too. I feel like I would be disappointing him immensely if I gave up but I also feel MISERABLE. I never had a problem with vegetables and salads but now that they're the only things I can eat for the next 6 weeks they've become so unappealing to me?? I'm also so cranky, finding it hard to concentrate on work, and dealing with a fair few personal issues that just make me crave rich and indulgent foods and not being able to have them makes me feel even shittier about myself. I sound like a spoiled brat, I know, but food has always been an escape for me - I love cooking, experimenting with flavours, and I love eating. But I also wanna be healthy and look my best. Have you done a really strict meal plan? How did you get through it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 06:43 PM PDT 5' 4" / F / 186 pounds So I've lost about 6 pounds in the past 6 weeks. I'm trying to not beat myself up about it because I know this is a healthy weight loss rate, but I guess I'm just impatient and annoyed I haven't lost more in this timeframe. Based on my calorie tracking, cutting of refined carbs, higher intake of protein, and working out more extensively almost everyday, I thought I would lose more (2 pounds/week according to my calorie cutting and calculations). I know 1 pound/week is still good, but I'm really hoping/waiting for a WOOSH of weight loss to happen. My weight has not budged this week, even though I should be losing. With this in mind, I am losing inches (3 inches off chest and hips, 4 inches of waist) and I am strength training, so I'm thinking the weights/added muscle may have something to do with it. I also have been off my period now for 3 days, so I'm just waiting for a woosh hopefully soon. Just wondering what everyone else's woosh experiences have been? Especially with periods, I thought the woosh would happen at the end of my period but mine's already ended for a few days? Does anyone else eat at maintenance to trick your metabolism to woosh? Also should I maybe do more cardio and less strength training in order to better accurately see weight loss? Lots of thoughts/questions, but just looking to hear experiences. Thanks!

| How do you learn to like healthy foods? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 10:13 PM PDT Hey y'all, I've always been a very picky eater, but the problem im running into know is trying to lose weight while I dislike most healthy food. How do you train yourself to like foods when just the thought of them disgusts you? For instance, I can stand vegetables. Besides corn, potatoes, and peas I literally can not stand even the thought of eating vegetables (if push comes to shove i can make myself eat French style beans or cooked carrots but thats it). Besides not liking the texture or flavor, just the thought that they may be in my food makes me want to throw it away so I can't even "hide" them in breads and such. I know its important to eat healthy, not just low calorie but I have no idea how to get over this so I can eat the foods that are good for me. Is there any way I can learn to like these foods or do I need to learn to make myself just choke them down? [link] [comments] |
| I lost nearly 2kg (1.9kg), and I feel so much better already. Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:41 AM PDT I currently weigh 92,6, which is not too far from my starting point (94,5), but I'm still so happy. I've lost the pounds in +- 2 weeks. I already feel way better, I'm so thankful for the changes I brought into my life. I eat so much healthier now and I am so much more active, and I'm finally going to bed at a regular time slot. I think trying to avoid sugar as much as possible has been a challenge from the start, as has eating less been. But now I can proudly say that I've already cut soft drinks and sweets for two weeks (which isn't a long time but a start nonetheless. I've also tried intermittent fasting, and although the hours have been a bit inconsistent (I've had some busy days), I have always fasted at least 13 hours each day, which for me is already a big accomplishment. I've also started drinking SO MUCH more water, which has been a great change so far. So yeah, healthwise I'm feeling really good right now, and I plan on keeping it up! [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 3 Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:34 PM PDT Hello lovely losers & fabulous fitness folks, Happy Tuesday! I hope you're rocking & rolling! Reading all you guys kicking butt & learning stuff in the comments is giving me such joy! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remove moral judgement/stigma/shame directed at yourself about it: Progress over perfection. Trying to unattach my self worth from the number on the scale. Logged it this morning without much fuss. 1800 calories (tracking in 5-day cycles, Friday/Saturday at maintenance): On it. Gonna have some smoked salmon & veggies. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute walk at lunch & 30 minute stationary bike with upper body lift sets mixed in. 3/3 days. Alone time to word vomit into journal: A little bit mixed with some introspection. I read "What Happened to You?". I've read a lot of books about trauma, brain science & recovery. This one was so accessible & Oprah has such a wide audience, the potential for so much good rests in that book. I haven't read a book that made me feel hope for every person who might happen to read it in a long time. Beautiful. Todays gratitude list: Today I'm grateful for good tunes on the radio for my commute, access to library materials including Shrek which I haven't seen in ages & protein. The soreness that's coming with a heavier lifting routine is really fun too. Express gratitude (verbally or through written communication): Will do this evening. Your turn kids! [link] [comments] |
| How do you deal with mental side of weight loss? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 01:51 PM PDT I'm[18f] finally starting my weight journey again after giving up. I've been fat my whole life and I really want to be healthy. My main problem isn't the methods. It's dealing with the mental side. I eat whenever I feel negative emotions. I didn't even realize that until I started a food journal. I don't eat because I'm hungry. I can feel full pretty fast. I eat because I want to. I eat even if I'm really full. I eat even if I don't like the food. so any advice to eat more vegetables to feel more full doesn't help because I overeat while full. How do I break my emotional attachement to food? I want to break the mental connection between bad feelings and food so I don't gain weight when I'm having a hard time. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 12:23 PM PDT (M/17/5'10) i got to 97kg and started to try harder to keep an eye on my weight as I really didn't want to hit 100. This was a couple months ago now. On the 26th of July I was 93kg and started trying significantly harder as I don't go back to school until September and so have time to focus on it and actually go through with it. I weighed myself just now after getting home from a walk and I'm now at 89.7kg, it felt great as the last few days my weight hadn't budged at all and although I know I shouldn't expect instant result, it can be very demotivating. it's been almost 2 years since I was in the 80s and it feels so good knowing I'm actually getting somewhere this time. I don't have an exact target, but I know I still have a while to be completely happy with my body. I've been on a calorie deficit and avoiding all junk food. I do 4k steps every morning (however I've been doing this for years as I'm a paperboy lol). I've stopped drinking fizzy which was my main issue and has been the hardest thing so far as I have been drinking litres daily for years. I've only told my girlfriend about trying to lose weight and she's been a great help, instead of walking her to the bus stop so she can get the bus home, I walk her all the way home and walk back on my own which usually adds up to 20k-22k steps which I'll do about 3 times a week. On days I don't see her, I still have my short walk in the morning, and will lift weights on them days too. Actually looking forward to going back to school as on school days I usually reached around 15k steps, and in September I plan to walk home each day instead of getting the train which should get me to about 20k-25k steps a day. I look through alot of the posts on this subreddit and it's been a great help with so much advice, I love hearing people's stories as it makes my goals seem achievable too. Anyways still quite a bit to go, but I'm really happy with what I've done so far and wanted to share :) [link] [comments] |
| So few calories is frustrating!! Posted: 03 Aug 2021 08:35 AM PDT I don't have a lot of weight to lose - I'm 29F at 5'1" and 115-119lbs. I'd like to trim fat, so I don't monitor weight so much. ALL of my fat, however, accumulates at my stomach. Super trim and cut legs and arms but a fluffy little gut. It's sooo frustrating. On a sedentary day I burn ~1,500 calories. Now most days I'm not sedentary but on an aggressively active day I still only burn at most 2,200 calories. I eat very cleanly, but the calorie counting is so damn frustrating because they add up super quickly. I get most frustrated when eating with my partner (several week nights and weekends) and I usually end up going over on calories. My partner is 5'9" and about 145lbs so she needs more food than I do. And she finds my desire to lose weight a little ridiculous but I hate the few handfuls of fat on my torso. She tends to cook more calorie dense foods than I do and to be polite I don't complain. She's cooking for me after all. Could I just cut on my portions? Sure. But then I don't feel physically full in my stomach which is pretty necessary for me not to be irritable. We are both vegan so fiber rich foods that make me feel physically full are my norm. I find myself seriously restricting breakfast and lunch on weeknights where I know I'll be having dinner with my partner. And it isn't fun. Any tips??? [link] [comments] |

| I need help and I don’t know wtf to di Posted: 03 Aug 2021 12:24 PM PDT I guess I should provide details before I just jump into it: I am 14.5 years old, 5'4, and i weight 228lbs. I just feel fucking hopeless. I just want to feel good about my body, it's like I don't even want to go out in public anymore because I feel like people are constantly judging me. I've been wanting to lose weight for 4-5 years now, and I just haven't. I keep trying over and over and over, I tell myself that I'm gonna change, and then 12 hours later I'm just sitting there bing eating and crying so… It just sucks because I'm also depressed and have a serious lack of motivation problem so it feels like it's just always so much easier to sit and do nothing. Another fun thing I'm dealing with is that I feel like I'm almost addicted to fast food. I'm constantly craving it, but when I actually have it, it's never what I want it to be. It's just so much harder to resist when every single time you go out you see a ton of fast food restaurants. I just want to look and feel good. I don't care what I have to do, I just need help. Can't really talk to my parents because they really suck :) SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP Also sorry that this was so long and also way too personal but whatever I guess. Thanks for reading all of it, and if there is literally any advice you have, I, uh, could really use it. [link] [comments] |

| Losing the last 5 pounds and double chin Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:04 AM PDT I've lost 45 pounds since high school when I was 210 at 5'8. I've hit a plateau for the last year about. I'm at 160 and my arms and calves are fat free. I have a bit covering my stomach and chest . A lot on the thighs and a decent sized double chin. I don't know how to go about losing it or if I should focus on building muscle rather than losing the rest of the fat. The double chin has definitely gone down but it seems stuck I know I still have some fat to go but it's hard trying to lose without cutting a lot of calories. That just leads into a yo yo diet. Should I consult a nutritionist and or other medical professional. Would it be best to just try and power through the last five pounds eating only healthy food and on a calorie deficit. Or would trying to build muscle help me get rid of the last fat. I've been stuck for a while and any help is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Family negative about my weight loss Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:14 PM PDT Today, for the first time since I was a kid, I have a normal body fat percentage and lean body mass according to my Eufy scale. The only things that still say High, are Muscle Mass and Bone related. I've always worked out a lot. My Weight and BMI are still a bit high, but I'm working on it. I know it's probably not accurate, but I'm taking it as an accomplishment! I'm 5'10 1/2", and 181.8lbs as of today. With my goal being to weigh 160lbs. I've considered 155 before, but I'm So Nervous to go any lower. I think I'll wait to see myself at 160 first. I'm posting this because my family is Very Negative about my weight loss, aside from my sister. My mom Always says my face/head is getting too small, "it won't look right". And just now my father asked me randomly "how much more weight do you plan to lose". And the last time I lost a lot of weight, my uncle straight up said "you look sick.." to my face, and grandma and aunts seemed to agree. I know they talk about it behind my back. I've been overweight Most of my life, but have periods where I lose a lot of it. The first time I did this, I was in Highschool. I'd undereat, and exercise 3-4 hours in my room. I'd say my body type is mesomorphic, with a naturally larger build. I'd always feel cold. I couldn't control my body temperature, which I later found out to be a sign that, Yes, I was indeed Undereating. But that's Not the point! My mom only expressed concern about my eating habits two or three times to me. It was me Visually which upset everybody. I would say I was, 5' 9 1/2", 140-150, in the 10 or 11th grade. No one at school ever said anything about me weighing too little. The closest thing would be a group of girls behind me having a catty conversation about how I walk like a model, and being in disbelief when a girl pointed out that I was a boy. They couldn't believe it and tapped me on my shoulder to find out. I wasn't openly trans back then. So I'm wondering if it's my shrinking build, becoming more effeminate Than Ever, that's Truly upsetting them. I know they could never gets those words out their mouth if that was the case. Or maybe it's because they are southern, and more fond of their southern body types.. But most likely it's just because I look funny to them thin. So much so they can't keep it to themselves, they Love to gossip. Which sucks because they all know I struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and I stick to myself. So they don't care if they take my 1 accomplishment away from me if it gives them something else to talk about. I guess they want me to look like all of them, overweight. Anyways, I guessing I'm typing to find out ways to deal with this. Yes I've straight up told them to Stop/ How it makes me feel.. but they will not. Has anyone else here delt with this before? It already sucks having my "behind" shrink in the process, and having to accept that, if I'm being honest. So the Extra negativity really suck and feels uncalled for! ;/ I've lost 69.5lbs over the last 11 months btw [link] [comments] |
