What personal issues do you have with your weight?

[melanieeeB]

Okay so I'm a person who always weighted around the same.
Even when I used to work out heavily and grow my glutes and shit, my weight never really changed.

It's really hard for me to gain weight cause of my thyroid hyperfunction.
Others might say oh you're thin and be skinny shaming and shit but I always felt uncomfortable and it's also an issue.

But I have weighted myself after yeaaars today and I finally gained 7 kg and that's a huge ass accomplishment for me! No clue how I did that tho haha

[MCheetah]

My body is the ultimate piece of sh*t. Besides being short, and besides me being physically unattractive, and besides having a small penis, and besides the Hypothyroidism, and besides having Precious Puberty f*ck up my entire existence, I also can NEVER lose a single pound working out, no matter how hard I go or how little I ate that day.

I am so used to HiiT that my entire shirt gets soaked in sweat and no matter what, the number never budges on the scale. I've tried to lose weight my entire adult life and have only GAINED weight every single year! I'm at the point where I'm going to do bariatric surgery to permanently reduce my stomach to the point I can live off of just water. My body is THAT sh*t at losing weight...

And hearing all the obnoxious armchair nutritionists spout off their "Calories In, Calories Out" oversimplified BS pisses me off even more, cause that's NOT how it works in real life! It's like telling people "t get rich, all you got to do is get a job and work hard." There's so much more involved than that.

To me it's no longer in a battle of necessarily trying to lose weight but to make sure that I maintain my weight or that I am and shape. I've always been active and working out as always been fun to me as soon points granted I don't enjoy cardio like I used to but that's nothing that I can't get back into because I still play basketball. Furthermore the best thing to do again is to stop watching the scale and just watch how your clothes fit and how you feel and like I said don't worry necessarily about the weight about your physical condition. I don't know if I necessarily would like to be skinny because I've never been necessarily skinny while actually I have but also thinking you know my body frame was smaller but I like being a big size because I am but I want to be healthy because also know how way pretty much can handle or hurt you also when it comes to your joints and also effect how you move. So yes body conditioning is a must.

[Smashingdoozy]

In 9 months I gained just over 20 pounds it's made me look much healthier. I was guided by a nutritionist who was amazing and understanding of my dietary restrictions. I basically followed a eat when you're hungry type rule. I would eat till I wasn't feeling hungry anymore even if it meant I didn't finish my plate, I'd then just leave whatever it was and if I got hungry again later I went back to it. It did mean eating a lot of cold meals and snacking a lot which I didn't mind. But it worked I was eating way more than I usually would in a day because I was just eating when my body told me to. The meals were mostly high protein low fat. I always struggled with gaining weight and eating the right amount of food so I'm pretty proud of that.

[ChrisMaster69]

@Smashingdoozy you did a great job.

[melanieeeB]

Oh that's really amazing! I will try some of your advice too haha thanks

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

I too have had trouble with gaining. Im 92 pounds right now. I eat like crazy, I've done workouts to help with muscle, etc. Yet there's nothing. But my parents are little too and my grandparents so its likely genetics. But I've dealt with people telling me i need to eat and that the genetic thing is bullshit and stuff. If it was that damn easy i would already have a better weight right now smh.

[ChrisMaster69]

I have been fine with mine all my life apart from 2012, I was in hospital for over 6 weeks and just over 5 on a drip (non nutrition type as not allowed any food of any type).
the result was I lost muscle from really hard to build up areas such as soles of my feet 🤦 and other places I lost a lot of weight and then when I was allowed to eat it was a very strict diet for 6 months.

This meant a lot of gym work and walk n running to gradually build up natural muscle mass, then get back to the ability to actually run 5km etc.

These days my eating habits suck, however I have went down the Go Fresh route and my cleaner will prepare my meals when I’m in office.

i also bust my wrist about this time last year which had stopped me mountain biking, until the other day.

[TransAm85]

As I've gotten older, it's been a little harder to lose weight. I got pregnant when I was 26, gained a little weight, miscarried at 27 wks, but I shed the weight right away. Now I'm almost 37 and any weight I gain takes longer to lose. I don't eat a lot, but I drink mochas. Fried food. Tortillas.

[2facedfa1ry]

I've yoyo'ed ever since middle school between being skinny & kinda chubby (and once even obese lol...) and i kinda have problems with overreating so i have to do stuff like count calories so i don't gain..

Or else i really hate my weight 😭 (i'm in the normal range though, but on the upper end now...) and really need to lose a few kgs asap before summer

[Msputiton]

Tbh, looks wise my weight is fine.
But my coach has been trying to put weight on me, but i haven't been as successful putting it on like i would like.

[melanieeeB]

Why do you need weights on? You're doing basketball right? I'm not sure right now sorry

[Msputiton]

Well a common misconception is that basketball is not a contact sport.
But it is.
There is a lot of bumping and using size and strength to get your self into position for shot or a steal. Hard fouls, no call contacts.

In college size and strength is very important.

With my size there is a lot of concern of me getting injured from the bigger stronger size of my opponents.

Example if i go hard to the basket and a hard foul or just getting hit too hard could end in me taking a very hard fall to the ground.

Also me not being able stand my ground against others at my position when we battling for position.

Things like that.

There are lot more to it, but i don't wanna bore you with it.

So yeah she trying to get me to build more muscle.

[melanieeeB]

Ohh yeah I see what you mean, I also first thought it's not that big of a deal but thanks for the clarification 🙏🏼 Good luck with gaining some weight thi

[muhmuhmike]

Yeah, i remember being self-conscience about being skinny and people might think that now, but i exercise a bit to maintain, but the real change is something that happened in me.
I can summarize: other people don't care at all about you by 'body-shaming' you. They care about dodging the "shame" being put on them but others (for whatever reason). So they focus their shit on you to dodge it.
====EVERYONE IS INSECURE====
But...
Think, would you fuck a skinny guy/can you see yourself happy with a skinny person? If you can (and many people prefer it) appreciate BEING with a mate that it shaped like you, then you have already validated yourself.
Every body is beautiful except those who's inner-ugly gets in the way of seeing it

[Guy13]

I’m personally insulted that it makes me fat and ugly…and this is a violation of my civil rights…I’m going to call up BLM and raise all types of global he’ll about it🙃

[Apple1996]

That it's constantly changing. I've never stayed the same weight. Even just having my period makes me gain like 10-15 right before it. It sucks but I'm use to it now

[sheikalana]

My weight fluctuates a lot and I tend to feel bloated very easily. The good thing is that I never gain weight to the point my clothes do not fit me anymore but they do feel tight.

[NathanDavis]

none really... ever since a grown-up, my weight has been around 190-200lbs, which is just fine for my height and natural built

[yucel_eden]

I have an office job so no matter how much I work out I have a tiny bit of belly fat.


Big arms, big chest, huge neck, strong legs and still that belly fat floating around just makes me want to pull my hair out. Annoying

[Fireguy17]

other I'm too short foe my weight I'm fine, as I have a piece of cheese cake for dessert.

[exitseven]

I am trying to lose a little more weight but the last 5 pounds is very stubborn.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I can lose weight if I went on a more healthy diet and watch what I eat.

[Waldoe]

72 here... same problem my whole life... (problem, I can eat anything and never gain weight) poor me... 134
lbs. since I was 20 years old

[XXblack88]

You must have a high metabolism

[CrazyGirl2]

I am familiar with your body type, it’s called ectomorphism. You are an ectomorph, that’s characterized by a lean, thin body, extremely low body fat content, and the opposite of that is called an endomorph which is a person who no matter what, cannot loose weight, they have a high body fat content and the health implications are legion! So thank god you are an ectomorph, and not an endomorph!
by the way, the rest of humanity? The entire spectrum of human existence vis a vis body sizes…are “the rest of us” We are Mesomorphs, and we can literally look like anything from the “skinny” ectomorph, to the “fat” endomorph, and every point in between.

[5mith]

I struggle with workout! I've never really enjoyed working out, my longest working out period is 3 months and that was like 10 years ago!

[Anonymous]

i'm having an insanely hard time losing weight ever since I got sick (not with covid). Not sure exactly what happened but it's rough.

[Anonymous]

I weigh 50 kilos, I have no problem, I like to be thin, not like contemporary women, who are obese.

[Chiarac2003]

I’d like to be less thin.

[Anonymous]

I don't think I can really explain it so others would understand. Unless you're 6 and a half feet tall or more I don't think you'd be able to relate.

[moonpie89]

It's easy for me to gain and lose weight

[Still-alive]

i struggle eating more healthy :/

[TrillXHippy]

I can’t gain any weight

[EaterPeter]

Those few f***ing pounds on belly

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[Wise4myage]

None at all for me.

[DeborahRobinson]

[SignedAutographs]
