Oh, I forgot that part. PROTIP: Your clothes weigh more than you realize.
Also, it never works. Well, close enough to never. Someone who’s aiming to get into a swimsuit in 5 months is losing weight they’re 95% likely to gain back.
I’ve lost a quarter of my body weight… over two and a half years. And that was quite deliberate. I never intended to lose it all at once, because I knew I would fail, and my doctor told me I would fail. I’d have to change my diet in ways that could not be sustained and I wouldn’t improve my basic fitness. I figured if I took my time I could spend forty or fifty years at the correct weight, rather than failing and spending 30 years at the wrong weight and then the remaining 10-20 dead.
My doctor was right. Taking it slow has worked. It’s staying off, and most importantly, I’m measurably healthier.
Hey guys. I was the doofus who had nerve enough to post about my own experience with being fat. (For the record, I can wipe my butt just fine.
I wanted to thank everyone who tried to help and gave me kind advice. That was awesome of you, to take time to help out someone you didn’t even know!
My back problems appear to be getting worse and I got x-rays last week. Once they look over the x-rays they’re referring me to a rheumatologist. But I know the bottom line: eat better and exercise.
Unfortunately I can’t read the entire thread over because I’ve discovered talking/writing about my weight is triggering. Literally, was up all night the last time I read some of the responses. Since I have mental health issues I have to be careful.
