Why I got so fat?

[Anonymous]

I am 26 and i weight 215 lbs now. I was 150 in 19

years and i eat exactly the same now as then. I started gaining in 23 and it doesn't seem to stop. I dont know what to do. Do you think its genetic and i have no chance to be slim again?

Your body probably has a naturally thick build. You could be slim by perpetually starving yourself but in the long run you are very likely to gravitate back to your normal weight. This is not disastrous, you are still at a reasonable weight now. You need to examine your reasons for wanting to be thin, if it is to appease society that is not a valid reason. Learning to accept yourself for who you are is part of being healthy, and that may be you at 215 lbs rather than 150.

Get active slowly and cut sugar out of your diet entirely. I suggest squats, wall push ups, planking and bent row as four easy exercises to master for a beginner work out.

Intermittent fasting will help too, look up the specifics of these concepts on YouTube for specifics.

You can be in top shape in a year or so if you stick to it.

When I worked a sedentary job that was boring I would eat out of bordem. I found out if I ate shit I could stay awake. If you don't realize it you can really pack on the pounds overnight.

Could be some type of illness or medication. Try a low carb diet maybe

Illnes it's not i went to my doctor and all tests looks good :/ maybe it's stress because stress of my work i think

[nerms123]

Can definitely be related to stress

You can lose the weight. Maybe check with your doctor to see if there's an abnormal thyroid or something causing weight gain. But don't be hard on yourself you're still attractive.

Pharmaceuticals can do that,
Also curious what you job is and what your diet is as our metabolisms slow down as we age

[buttcrackjoe]

Another user suggested thyroid function its a good idea to get a routine blood test to rule this out it’s common

[Asker]

Yes i know. But my metabolism changed by the day :( i am secretary

[buttcrackjoe]

Any sitting job will result in a carb surplus,
Eat whole grains veggies protein watch sugar and refined carb intake lots of water no soda

It's all about calories in versus calories out. Even if you are eating the same if you have a more seditary lifestyle you will gain weight
