moderately annoying

I used to be about 155 pounds and then over the course of a month or two went up to 195 due to medications. I've had a beard since before I gained weight, and I hadn't fully shaved until about a week ago and oh boy my jawline took a beating. It was also sad noticing that shirts that I had fit into pretty well before started getting tighter, and when I look down I can't see my dick anymore.

Overall I would recommend against getting fat.

Pick, if the recent physical photo of yourself is accurate, please get help.

I guess I am old school and actually care about people here. I'm not just talking about mentally. Diet disorders are a direct way to a horrible death.

E: not into not just. Everything is always all kinds of hosed.

Well I was a stick til like 5 years ago
Now I'm 5'5 and 138 with no boobs so I'm a size 4 but I might as well be 1300 lbs
Luckily I lose weight quickly, so I should be 115 again by June, but I hate myself atm, OP

Last time I weighed this much I was on Zyprexa from a misdiagnosis and lost about 25 pounds in a month from eating less and jogging lazily.

There's no safe way to put a cat in a paper bag!!
I was really thin all my life, usually under 100lbs. Now I'm in my late 30's and had two kids plus gestational diabetes which threw everything out of whack and I gained a bunch of weight over the past 2 years. The weird thing is that my brain I guess still hasn't gotten used to it, so when I go swimming and then get out of the pool, I suddenly feel like I weigh a ton. Like while I was floating around, my brain reset the idea of my "normal" weight back to what it was before I gained weight. Then I try walking and it feels like my legs have weights tied to them.

Pick has been steadfastly against getting help forever and it is genuinely very sad :( I hope she comes to realize it is in her best interest eventually

Please get help, pick. Lady therapists exist, it doesn't have to be a man

In the US, either on an emergency basis or through disability, but it's possible

Last time I saw someone ask pick to get help she said it would be pointless to tell a man about her problems :(

A sad look into how many people see mental health care in our modern world, and not necessarily wrong, just coming at the problem from the wrong angle. I don't break my GBS irony barrier very often but maybe one day enough goons breaking character to ask pick to help herself will eventually make a difference. I can dream, I guess

She was not always super trolly and used to real post a fair amount and the hand she has been dealt is very :smith:. Here's to hoping she's keeping up the poo poo posting and getting help at the same time, best of both worlds

I starved myself for 8 months and am no longer fat, sorry OP. it was easier than I thought, whenever I got a craving to eat I would just smoke weed instead until I forgot.

always heard that starving yourself is dangerous and doesn't work but that's horse pucky. just don't eat for a while and you will stop being fat. like the time I was able to quit smoking because I lost my job. ever see a fat guy starve to death? doesn't happen

i got fat in the hospital, i took a posting hiatus to tend to my terminal sadbrain for a few months and they put me on some medication that made me blow up pretty fast, within a few months i was very big.

it was cool, it happened so fast that i wasn't prepared for it and always bumped into doorframes and knocked over chairs, i'd sit down at a table and scoot my chair forward like i used to and BOOMPF my belly would slam the table and knock everyone's trays onto their laps spilling their chocomilks and chicken nugs everywhere

Yeah I'm never sure cause remember her from when she first joined but I never really posted til recently so idk

Either way if you need therapy badly enough you can make it happen and even get good, female therapists cheap as free if you're desperate enough, even in the US

Ive definitely started to think about doing this. some guy who was 300 lbs starved himself for a year right and got to normal weight. He took a multivitamins.

Im not too heavy but if i just stop eating for about a few months i should be good right? It cant backfire, i mean my brain can eat the fat reserves, right? Right?

smoking is why people in the 50s were thin

Almost every single lead actor in those days had the pudgy dad-bod thing going on; not super flabby, but always sucking their gut in when they have their shirt off.

I used to have shin splints all the drat time. Turns out I was carrying around at least 15-20 lbs of extra me. It's amazing what a difference it makes to not have extra useless pounds weighing you down to the floor.

Multivitamins and a fair chunk of proteins/fats daily while still restricting calories. As long as you are moving around and aren't completely devoid of proteins and vitamins, you won't waste away. Most of the medical problems that come from hunger and starvation is almost always malnutrition. Anything else would be from preexisting conditions like diabetes.

poo poo like this is hard to gauge in my opinion. I'm 6'2 and even when I was slim as gently caress I was still always between 180-190 lbs which if you go by BMI was overweight for my age and height but I was trim as gently caress. Now I'm 30 and 250 lbs but I don't have a huge gut I just ain't ripped or anything. I don't have trouble with strenuous physical activity or stairs or anything like that but at 30 years old, 6'2 and 250 that puts me in the obese range when it comes to BMI. So I don't know. I feel good and do physical poo poo all the time, my cholesterol and blood pressure aren't garbage and doctors don't bitch at me about my weight so whatever.
