More on topic, extreme fatness and broken brains are both shameful conditions (and kind of related in a lot of cases. Normal people don't end up 300+ lbs) and societal pressure needs to be applied to fix them. If you are depressed and taking your meds and trying to fix yourself, or fat and trying to exercise and change your diet, its admirable. If you retreat into alcoholism or cheesy potatoes in your corner, it's sad and pathetic.

I have literally known one person to do the walk on an incline and just cut out desserts and soda and slowly lose the weight thing and stick with it.

Losing weight requires changing your habbits, either you want to change and do or you really dont and will drop your new years resolution in a week.

Lol at people saying exercise isnt an important part of maintaing a healthy weight and lifestyle just lol.

One of the best things about exercise is that it combats that feeling of being bloated. There's so much salt in most food that without exercise I feel like I'm carrying an additional 5 pounds of water.

That's why it's hard as gently caress having fat friends/girlfriend. I lost a bunch of weight and decided to move in with my fat girlfriend cause she put up with me for years that I was obese so I figured I'd give her the same chance, and then she criticized my diet endlessly and just keep making shittier and shittier food and I fell back into old habits, now granted yeah my diet was boring before only eating tuna, spinach, chicken and rice but it worked for me.

It's a good thing that all my weight loss is because I got so sick and tired of being a computer nerd that I now literally enjoy shoveling snow in a blizzard more than sitting in front of a computer. As far as having my brain break and triggering a mid life crisis this one is turning out to be pretty bad rear end.

Without getting all E/N, I was 465lbs, got down to 215 in under a year, then a unique combination of all my fat friends and girlfriend pressuring me and a general mental collapse from having to drop out of college to go work in a call center, and bam within 9 months I'm back up to where I was.

that sucks, I would not wish a call centre job on my worst enemy . keep at it, you can lose it again!

I am also now terrified to know it's possible to gain 250lb in 6 months. it takes 9 months to form a tiny baby, how can the body produce mass so quickly.

Hopefully, I've lost a meager 10lb already, now I just need to figure out a way to get my girlfriend to actually lose weight, she has more of a reason to, since she has a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, which puts in her debilitating pain but lol she still refuses to lose weight and every time I talk about it or make good meals for myself and prep them for the week she'll make cupcakes or buy pizza.

My wife has been getting skinnier along with me because unlike previous times I've tried to lose weight now I'm eating a balanced well rounded diet and just not piggging out and I'm being way more active, which means she is to.

Like, she's always been broad shouldered and muscular for a woman because of a physical job and sports but after we got married she kinda started getting pudgy because at home we'd both just kinda sit around and eat but she's dropping clothes sizes too.

It loving rules.

From personal experience, loosing weight is incredibly easy and incredibly hard at the same time, like I lost all the weight the first time by just eating chicken, rice, tuna, spinach and eggs and riding a stationary bike for ten minutes (eventually going higher).

But I kept myself away from food, and I think that's the hard part like I didn't put myself in situations where I was around stuff and whenever I'm by things like that I have this horribly urge to gorge. So I try and never keep anything like that or that doesn't require preparation in the house.

I have to admit sometimes it's hard like there's this place that bakes cookies in the food court I walk through when it's cold enough outside that I take my lunch walk inside and god drat do I ever want to stop every single time so I can buy a cookie even though they're like 300 kcal each.

But I just keep walking and if I really need a snack there's a dude that sells apples and bananas for 50c each and I buy one of those.

But I'm still thinking about those cookies, man.

I ate a giant bowl of spaghetti that I cooked last night. Like it's gotta be a pound of beef in the bolognese and 2 servings of pasta. Sometimes I dont this eat much but other times I do and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Perhaps eventually physics will decide to work and I will turn into a ball of lard instantly

that infamous low carb thread had people buying 10 gallon buckets to fill with lard. one guy was making like half a dozen eggs every morning with cheese and cooking it in the grease of 5 bacon strips. he lost weight but ended up with absurdly high cholesterol and blood pressure. i wish i had that screenshot of that series of post. one guy criticized him for not eating lean enough and ate a probation for it.

My parents did low carb back when that was the big new diet and I lived with them so I had to eat that way too, literally eggs and bacon for every meal but dinner which was steak 7 days a week. I actually gag when I try and eat steak now.

Man, that's not going to end well. My friend is diabetic too and drinks full fat coke etc, it's like a prolonged suicide attempt via food.

I kind of hate him for not taking better care of himself because he's got a 6yo son.

crippling diabetes is no joke. my dad has always worked out but he's addicted to crackers and beer and when he hit 60 he finally got the betus. now he gets boils that won't heal, he acts like he has dementia if he gets drunk and eats pizza, and most recently he got frozen shoulder. i feel so bad for him but it took him way too long to start changing his habits.

I know other people said to go to the general thread but a lot of people in there can be serious pricks. We literally have a Weight Loss Thread in YLLS as well. We're not experts but it can be encouraging and although you aren't required, we do a weekly weigh in and list our progress or failures and I can't think of a single person in there who's a dick and not encouraging.
