This isn’t for people who have always been thin or athletic. If you’re fat, how do you feel about it? Are you comfortable in your own skin? Have you plugged in to the “body positivity” movement? If you were once fat but aren’t now, why did you lose the weight? Do you wish the body positivity movement came sooner, or would you have chosen to lose the weight anyway? These questions are for dudes too, even though we all know “body positivity” doesn’t apply to us. I want honest input about your self image, but it may demand bravery. I don’t allow anonymous contributions anymore! Blame the trolls! Ell oh ell!
I was fat at high-school and felt ok with my body but thankfully some bullies showed me the error of my ways, without their strong moral stance I'd still be living an immoral lifestyle as either overweight or obese as an Increasing number of us here in America are. I lost the weight and when I joined the army I got cut, soon girls who I never would have had a shot at were dropping their wet panties for me.
What I learned was that I had to have a better diet. So I learned some good eating habits like filling up on salads, vegetables, rice etc. Smaller portions, no 2nds. Stopped eating dairy, bread, processed meat, fast food, sugar, soda pop. I eat plenty of fish, chicken, turkey etc. I'd eat some potatoes but not too many. Switching soda pop for water was a big game changer. I learned that you don't have to eat just because your hungry and stop eating when your not, you don't need to eat 3 large meals per day with snacks in between. You dont need to eat until your stomach is bursting. I generally eat a good meal once per day, often just breakfast.
Exercise. I learned you gotta put in the time and effort. I worked out at least 4 times a week. Maybe 1-2 hours per session, maybe twice a day sometimes 6-7 days per week. Thats running, hiit, cycling, lifting weights, skipping, boxing training, judo.
I drink alcohol but in moderation. I always try to make sure i get enough sleep 6-10 hours per night. The local gym has a sauna suite which I use to help relax and recover in, plus you can always talk to some very hot ladies by the pool or jacuzzi. As soon as I started eating right my acne started to clear up and the blackheads I had disappeared. My dick grew about 2 inches, i had thicker harder erections, sex was more pleasurable and could perform like a kentucky stalion multiple times all night. This is all stuff parents should be teaching kids but aren't, schools too, even the media should be.
This body positivity crap is harmful and obesity is immoral. Obesity drives up everybody's healthcare premiums and its bad for the environment. Basically telling people who are doing themselves harm by their poor immoral choice of lifestyle that it's perfectly acceptable to be obese is wrong and doesn't help.
Good for you! I’ve had great results and poor results. I know my strengths and weaknesses, but my discipline wanes. If i get around a bowl of Buffalo wings, i’d better have burned 4500 calories that day or i’m gaining overall! Ell oh ell! Best trainer i’ve ever worked with showed me a pic of himself at 250lbs. I everything that guy told me without question. To be fair, not my best results. But i respect people who’ve done the work. They’re the only ones i do respect if i’m expected to do the same work.
I had that problem initially where I would forget that I'm on a diet only realising after eating a huge pizza with fries and a coke. I just had to teach myself good eating habits rather than just dieting and calorie counting. Like filling up on salad or vegetables. I never liked steamed brocoli but learned it was eatable if I poured hot sauce on it. It didn't happen overnight, this took years. And I reward myself occasionally with pizza or fries or whatever but whenever I do its the best pizza or burger or whatever. Progress not perfection.
So… you’re comfortable in your own skin? Or would you prefer to lose some weight? More appropriately, in my opinion, would you like to tone up some even if the scale showed no difference?
Hell nah I'm ready to lose about 40 pounds and tone up. Bought a gym membership and everything, too scared to go in alone tho. There was like three people in there and I was still to scared to go in
Fear not! People at the gym LOVE other gym goers. It’s a bit cultish if you let it be. But contrary to popular misconception, there’s a lot of respect in most gyms. We all start from a place of knowing we have room to improve, even the ones who LOOK perfect. Chances are, they either feel or have felt the same as you. Go get your money’s worth! And make some friends while you’re at it! For me, the workouts are easy. I luv that stuff. Food is my weakness! GD delicious food! Ell oh ell!
