When I was skinny I was more attractive, now over weight well it is gone
Why not hit the weights dude?
I will soon get back to walking
I lost 5 stone twice before,
I am battling weight gain since meds 20 years ago
Iām overweight too.
I would like to be ten kg lighter in a healthy way but there are more important things in life than looks such as peace of mind, sanity, love , deep connection and compassion, being genuine and true and knowing oneself n feeling like oneself etc
Best wishes for us.
Chubby ones.
Even we can be loved.
By someone out there surely.
If not by ourselves atleast hey.
N respect.
I agree with your statements @SacredNeigh7
I need to correct my diet
True dude ithink most of us do haha keep at it brother!
Lol my gf calls me chubby now I donāt mind
Do you cook for yourself, @san_pedro?
sometimes I cook , but I mostly cook for my father
Itās good that you can cook.
Just avoiding overeating and cutting sugar a little has helped me lose some.
I plan on getting a little more aggressive and cutting all sugar,
But my therapist recommended small changes.
You can lose weight if you want to.
Still, you need to appreciate and love your body where you are now.
If I were you, Iād do these affirmations youāre always posting aloud, in the mirror.
Might help your self esteem while youāre losing weight.
I donāt care about the looks part of it but i do need to lose fifty pounds for my health. iām 280 and pre diabetic!
Iāve been obese for most of my life. At one point I started walking and I lost weight, and kept walking and lost more weight, then walking alone wasnāt enough so I sort of ran a little and power walked. I was in the best shape of my life and felt really good. But I came down with a major depressive episode and they had to start messing with my meds and 90 pounds later Iām morbidly obese.
Iām unable to get out and walk much at this point. I do as much as I can which is little walks around the complex. But I am dieting now and have recently lost 10 pounds. Iām hoping to lose enough to increase my walking soon, then the weight will really start to come back off.
Iām working on losing weight so I can get knee replacement surgeryā¦lost 65 lbs so far, have another 20 or so to get my BMI in range to qualify. I just asked my mom if sheāll fly up next year if I have the surgery to help me out and she said she would. Iām so happy about that, it gives me a bigger incentive.
You might try a little carb-cycling, it usually works for me.
Iām overweight too I miss being small my metabolism has slowed down since I got older itās hard for me to lose weight
Hey whatās carb cycling? Never heard of it sounds interesting
When I was skinny the cars used to beep at me, now Iām obese and itās not like that lol.
It makes me feel more insecure.
Only seem like I get to be cinderella for a day then itās back to, āAh. That wasnāt worth it anyway.ā.
Feels like to stay at a healthy weight you have to be willing to risk feeling insecure and being seen. And then being okay with being that weight and comfortable in your skin.
Relative to everyone else in my family Iām pretty āsmallā and when I went out like thatā¦ people compared me to my brother and referred to me as the small one. x_x;
Part of me right now is feeling like, āLetās just eat some cake and peanut butter and pizza and go crazy! Who cares anyway?ā.
Your too funny @POET , you know damn well what carb cycling is
Looooool nah for really haha I wasnāt being sarcastic
I genuinely donāt know what that is haha
Is it when you take breaks from carbs? Or like temporary keto or something?
