I feel pretty~
Oh so pretty~

>>7762802
>>7762809
>>7762805
I'm sure tumblr tells them they're beautiful as they are and encourages them to keep killing themselves with their disgusting eating habits and inactive lifestyle. Ugh.

>>7762829
>identifying with the style
does tumblr really just every single thing needs to be part of some super important special snowflake yooneek aspect of themselves?

Omg, health and fitness discriminates fat pepplz!!

>>7762829
that entire tumblr is painful to read. so many jealous fatties.

>>7762825
i dont care about their eating style, i care about how fucking offensive these tacky dresses are that they keep buying from milanoo. there's always been threads with fatties that look good.

being a fatty and poorly dresses is like asking the entire internet to pee in your mouth. have a little self respect for your fat self and spend the extra money on a good dress that will fit you. do your hair. your makeup.

just cause you're fat doesnt mean you get to ignore the basic principals of dressing nicely (lolita or not)

>>7762832

That can't actually be PT, can it?

>>7762844
>do your hair. your makeup.
landwhale in second pic obviously did make some effort on her hair/makeup, it's just hard to tell because you're overwhelmed by how gross she is despite that

>>7762809
This terrifies me.

>>7762846
god, maybe. would she really consider tifa her best cosplay? she has said that she strongly identifies as Tifa or w/e

>>7762846
It's not, it's a troll. They get lots of troll submissions. Then, if they find out it's a troll they start crying "this is why we need this blog, fatphobia!!"

>>7762844
They can't do any makeup because anything that gets close to their black hole of a mouth get sucked in

>>7762848
It's sad because she could be pretty, but she isn't.

>>7762846
That's what I was wondering, too. Then again, looking at the tumbler, there's probably a lot of people as delusional as she is.

>>7762871
She could be so pretty without all that fat. She has a cute face.

>>7762873
>there's probably a lot of people as delusional as she is.
There definitely are. One of my slightly overweight friends who is trying to lose weight will sometimes tell me that she has a little bit of delusion sometimes when she looks in the mirror, but then she snaps out of it and realizes that's not how she looks, it's a scary slope mang.

>>7762873
yeah. If you say that to them they start bawwing about thin privilege and how you just can't see their true beauty. meanwhile the only dudes who wanna stick their dick in that are fat fetishists who don't see anything in them beyond their fat.

no one will ever see your true beauty, fatty-chan....

This is really at the far end of the spectrum. I think once you reach this point, it is more than just eating and lack of exercise. There may be some underlying medical or mental condition.

I met someone recently who made her own clothes because she doesn't fit into brand. If she loves lolita that much to do it, let her and the other girls have something they enjoy.

On the other hand I am 150 and I feel very fat. This is really sad to say, but fitting into brand is one of the major reasons why I want to lose weight. I need to be happy in my dream dresses.
I

>>7762878
I feel like I have this from time to time. After shopping on websites for years catering to plus size girls whenever I look at the regular section of the site the girls look skeletal to me and i mentally bodyshame them.

They're probably perfectly healthy in most cases. But so are a lot of those girls featured on the plus size side of things (the models are usually size 14 or around there.) And there are times where I look in the mirror and think I look great and some days where i could just kill myself for getting large.

>>7762890
well seeing what other anons have posted before, sometimes it's the environment they're in that is working against them as well and it wasn't until they got out they were able to start eating better.

and don't worry about finding that a bad reason to lose weight, personally looking all jfashion and cosplay helps me as inspiration as to why I'm working on losing weight.

>>7762892
>And there are times where I look in the mirror and think I look great and some days where i could just kill myself for getting large.

same here anon, the other day I was looking at a picture of myself and I started crying because I felt disgusting and fat

Sort of related

I have a friend who is a major fatty-chan, not as bad as OP but somewhere along the lines of
>>7762815
with a little extra weight. she eats a lot of junk food and drinks lots of soda. she'd be so cute if she just cut back on the shitty food. what do i do, /cgl/? If I actually try to confront her on this shit she'll bawww at me. What are subtle ways of getting someone to adopt healthier habits?

>>7762902
Well, if you're her friend sooner or later if dieting is a concern for her, it'll come up in conversation. You can do your best then to present cutting those things out in a friendly way. "Oh, [another friend of mine] cut down on soda and snacks and lost [insert however many pounds]! I hear once you get used to not having soda and snacks like that you don't even want them that much anymore!"

There are a ton of ways to go about it that are pretty nice

Im 120 at 5'3 and i feel overweight and disgusting. How could you even live like this.

>>7762825
>keep killing themselves with their disgusting eating habits and inactive lifestyle
seems like a win to me

>>7762902
First of all, is she delusional about her weight? Are there any indications of that? The whole b'aaw part might come because unlike what some anons seem to think there are tons of fat people who are aware they're fat and know why.

Maybe rather then 'you're fat and you would be cuter if you lost weight' try to set her a challenge, like, not drinking soda for 2 weeks. Try to do this with her (even if you don't drink soda) and help her keep it up. The same thing you could do with fastfood.

>>7762911
I'm 5'1 and I'm 117 so not that much better. You're not overweight though, just... average weight.

>>7762902
I almost wanna say this post is about me, haha. threads like this inspire me to eat and drink a lot healthier, though.

>>7762915
110 is the average/healthy weight for someone 5'5", so no, you're both kind of overweight.

>>7762927
Which is why Im actively trying to lose it

>>7762911
Pffft, I'm 100 at 5'3. Being a petite asian girl on this board gives you massive confidence boosts.

But seriously, anon, you aren't actually fat. I'm pretty sure 120 fits in the average range for our height, if only a bit more. Plus, if you have big boobs, that'd be a load of an advantage over any asian girl. Curse my tiny tits.

>>7762927
Actually, it's more around 120. I'm 5'5 and my doctors are constantly bitching at me about it.

I suffer from slight body dysmorphia even though I'm quite slim, I feel like I am bigger than I am. But whenever I mention it in the presence of a fatty they start BAAAWWWing about how insulted they feel about my mental troubles. So seeing thin privilege blogs like that and fatties feeling sorry for themselves just pisses me off.

>>7762829
>>7762832
>>7762835

Some fat ita in my comm has gone crazy recently as some one is apparently 'bitching' about her and keeps threatening some type of 'wrath' lol. I wasn't the original one bitching about her but girl the whole comm is going to be laughing at you now.

>>7762914
Actually, the latter part is a good idea - I think it's mostly the fast food. I go out for food a lot and take her with me sometimes, which is encouraging the shit eating. I'll tell her I'm cutting back (which I really want to do) and ask her to join me.

>>7762924
AFAIK she doesn't browse 4chan, so you're fine.

>>7762908
Yeah, I'll keep this in mind too.

I have good friends who are nurses so I've heard all about the unhealthiest places on the body to carry weight, and she has fat in those places (especially the abdomen) so I'm really concerned for her, on top of just wanting to see her have a better lifestyle in general. Thanks seagulls.

probably hetalia

>>7762939
TO BE HONEST I've met my fair share of people who are the slimmest in a group of people only to then complain about how fat they are.
Now I'm not trying to dismiss your body dysmorphia or anything that's not what I"m trying to say. The point is that some people do it so people will say "oh no you're so thin" because it strokes their ego.Thin privilege is fucking stupid tho.

>>7762911
I'm 117 at 5'4, and I've never had anyone tell me I'm fat, anon. Seriously, I bet you're not overweight, just average. You're not disgusting, so don't freak out about it.

People should be encouraged to love themselves and to love their bodies but I think the concept of loving your body has become distorted.

If a lady is of size and is genuinely happy, then that's great for her. There's no excuse for bringing someone down just because you don't like the way they look.

Just as if a lady happens to have minimal body fat or a high metabolism or any reason to be very very thin then it's unfair to label her as anorexic, or bulimic or otherwise inflicting herself.

There's a lot of variety in the human body in metabolism, cholesterol levels, hormones, emotions, especially so in women. We have the biological disadvantage where are bodies are geared to be squishy and protective of their contents.

But loving your body should mean that you love taking care of it.

And there are no benefits to being overweight.

You know...there are people that find a bountiful rolling landscape attractive and as much as I don't agree that's okay too. There will always be someone that finds you attractive...somewhere....in some corner of the world.

But there aren't any benefits. Not to clothes shopping, not to your health, no to your emotional well being. Because even if we ignore the media fat shaming, all the fat shaming that goes on and is encourage on here, all the looks you get when you sit down to eat out or walk into a store and everyone knows you're not going to fit into anything in that store that isn't elasticated. The majority of fat women eat themselves up internally and drowning them selves in self pity about how they're so upset.

Then they spend time going on the internet trying to make a pro-fat movement disguised as a love-your-body movement. Encouraging diversity of body types. And for a brief shining moment feel like they've achieved something. Really ladies, if you do this, stop. Go do some sit ups.

>>7762890
Ok CGL, this thread has inspired me to work even harder. I have already cut out soda and exercise 4-5 times week. Now it is time to really let go of those sweets ( which is the hardest part) I want to lose this weight!

>>7762959
Weight is a very relative number. Muscle weighs more that fat. Different heights, different bone structures and densities (it does vary) and different exercise regimes can produce vastly different results.

What you really want to concern yourself with is your percentage of body fat.

Studies have shown women of the same height and measurements can vary in weight by up to and beyond 20lbs.

So don't hang too much up on the number itself. When judging yourself for your fitness take into account how long it takes you to get out of breath, your measurements and your weight to give yourself a more rounded idea of yourself.

>>7762959
>only one fat one
>the only one not showing her midriff
>"body acceptance"

>>7762959
I like this picture a lot but holy shit, far right girl's toes are scaring me

>>7762970
She's a weightlifter and has her weight belt on, idk wearing a weight belt over bare skin might be a weird thing to do. Just a guess. They're all wearing slightly different undies anyway (different shaped panties, some have bandeaus while others have bras.)
It's a nice picture anyway for anon's point.

>>7762970

This is an infographic of athletes, not average people. I think the aim of this is to show the extreme body specialisation that many athletes have been going through in recent years to become the best in that certain field, rather than being an infographic on simple body diversity in the general public.

Either way, anon's point bears mentioning, along with >>7762964.

>>7762977
Yeah, it's the belt. Totes not trying to hide the gut on the fattie.

I'm 5'5 and 140 lbs and I feel disgusting :(

>>7762964
When also considering percentage body fat, please keep in mind you're a women. The medically accepted healthy minimum of percentage body fat is 8-10%. Men can achieve 2% but they don't have breast tissue or a uterus.

Also, something of interest. Having worked with a lot of women and seen a lot of women's bodies (I work at a health and fitness centre) I see a lot of women panic and start thinking they're fat over things that actually transcend all weights.

You know you you twist at the waist or bend slightly and there's a crease at your waistline? That happens to everyone, it doesn't mean you're obese.

The bust strap of your bra cutting in a little? Feel like there's a little shelf forming underneath it? Everyone gets that too.

Thigh gap? Well some people are born to it, some people have to work to keep it. Most people outside of the cosplay and Japanese obsessed culture don't actually care...

>>7763006
What's interesting is that that women spends hours and hours training. She could probably bench press you.

But despite all that she's still carrying a lot of fat and she's able to lift in spite of that.

That's actually quite impressive.

Even if her body itself is not.

>>7763007
you should. stop fishing for pity.

>>7763007
Don't panic anon. You're at a healthy weight for your height.

But you can shed a couple of stone if you want to if you're willing to work at it.

>>7763007
Lose weight then.

ITT: hypocritical fatties

>>7763025
"Average" weight doesn't mean healthy. That's like 20 lbs overweight. She SHOULD work at it to lose a bit.

>>7763016

I had to explain to my brother the other day the reason that I have a thigh gap is because of my large pelvis and my valgus deformity, not because I'm too skinny.

He thought it was a hallmark of being pro-ana.

People really need to be educated on the diversity of body types.

>>7763032
I'm not sure you've read the thread anon.

>>7763016
I hate these types of images because they assume that anyone with less than 20% BF is also ripped as fuck.

>>7763016
>The bust strap of your bra cutting in a little? Feel like there's a little shelf forming underneath it? Everyone gets that too.

If your bra isn't perfectly comfortable you're probably not the right size. Something like 80% of women wear the wrong bra size. There's a lot of resources that can help you find the right bra size. For example, I have been wearing a 38DD when my actual size is a 38F. Look up "A Bra That Fits"

>>7763025
>>7763034

yeah... one of my biggest problems is that i work in a kitchen and boredom snacking happens a lot :( it's a lot easier for me to not eat when I'm just at home

>>7763044
This is also very common yes. But I see so many women panic about their weight rather than the bra.

>>7763039
This image has only one picture per percentage anon. Of course it can't show the whole scope of body types that correspond to that percentage of fat.

For the sake of example here is a picture of Lizzie Velasquez who has nearly 0% body fat and weighs between 50-60 lbs.

A very inspirational young woman and before you write her off based on her appearance, I encourage you to listen to her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c62Aqdlzvqk

>>7763046
boo hoo.

>>7763039
Everyone has some amount of muscle underneath their fat anon, it's not that they're ripped as fuck it's that there isn't enough fat to disguise the muscle underneath.

>>7763046
I understand anon. Boredom and stress snacking are very very common.

The solution is discipline. Trying once is easy, discipline is hard.

When you're bored and you find yourself reaching for a snack, drink a glass of water. Let it settle by finding something else to do. I know this is limited at work but there's always something, even if it's to go and fetch someone else a coffee.

After you've done that, if you're hungry, like actually hungry. Then eat your snack. If you're not, carry on occupying yourself.

It takes 6-8 weeks for the body to adjust to changes in routine and changes what it expects as an intake.

If you work in a kitchen, and you're bored, lift cans of beans if you're sat or standing around. I know you might think it looks silly but every little helps.

Also keep a food diary. Force yourself to be honest with yourself. And when you go to snack, you'll ask yourself more and more 'do I want this?', 'do I need this?', 'will I feel better tomorrow if I didn't eat this today?'.

Take it one day at a time, be brave for yourself anon. Good luck.

>>7763046
That's no excuse. I work in a kitchen too. When I first started working, my weight went up quite a lot but then if it's making you feel disgusting/miserable then take some actions! Either work out more to accommodate the snacking habit (although if your kitchen is anything like ours then I imagine you don't feel like a workout after being on your feet all day) or ensure you have some healthy snacks on hand. I snack a lot because stress, split shifts and long hours, and I managed to get my weight back under control by cycling to work instead of driving, doing some lighter exercise on my day off (swimming), and always putting a little tub of carrot sticks or something like that on the side. You'd have to check with your head chef though on that since some kitchens frown on eating due to hygiene but I find that it's helped me a lot.

>>7763016
>The bust strap of your bra cutting in a little? Feel like there's a little shelf forming underneath it? Everyone gets that too.
Because their damn bras don't fit. Get a better bra.

>>7763055
I was anorexic, my stomach was a big saggy blob. It ain't gonna magically get tight if you don't work out.

>>7763073
You're the second anon to point this out. And you're right.

My point was more that these women go into a panic about their weight over some small physical signal. In this case an ill fitting bra. Rather than say, in this specific example, go get a better fitting bra. But thank you for trying to help anon.

>>7763074
As far as I know we were discussing weight as a measurement. You are right anon and somewhere, though I can't find it right now, there was a very interesting study on a group of people where, over a given time period, a third of them focused on cutting their diet down, one third focused on upping their work out and a third worked on both.

As you might have guessed the best results were from the group who did both.

>>7762802

>>7763095
This image makes me grin every time I see it

>>7762948
Oh no it has a water mark. Just when I was about to claim it as my own....

>>7763061
No, everyone doesn't have the same amount of muscle under their fat. Are you retarded? The women in the photo very obviously work out, and therefore have a lot more muscle. I'm at like 10% BF and my stomach is smooth. it looks like the girl in the fourth picture at 25% BF, because I don't work out, so I don't have 6-pack abs. My waist is just smaller and I have no boobs or butt.

Muscles can grow and change, they're not bones.

>>7763123
They said /some/ not /same/ anon. But congrats on your %.

fat privilege is getting your money's worth at an all-you-can-eat buffet

How do I get over all of the bad eating habits I developed growing up in a neglectful household? All of my eating habits were centred around the fact there wasn't enough food, so obviously they're terrible habits to have in an environment where I don't have to worry about it. Examples:

>I'm compelled to finish my plate regardless of how full I am
>I find myself organising the fridge and the cupboard hiding food I like the look of to make sure someone else doesn't eat it
>If someone leaves something I'll find myself picking at it
>Likewise "Does anyone want this? I'm gonna throw it out otherwise." I'll immediately react and eat it regardless of how full I already am
>I binge eat any nice food in one sitting
>I cannot stand the feeling of being hungry and will immediately eat to make the feeling go away.

I've gone up from managing to maintain around 100lbs on scrounged food to 125lbs (I'm 5'1) and climbing because of these awful habits.

>>7763128
>fat privilege is getting your money's worth at an all-you-can-eat buffet
>>7763128
hypoglycemia privilege is being able to do the same thing and not weigh 1000lbs

>>7762802

>>7762932
That's not that thin, you sound average

>>7763138
A lot of the time thirst is confused for hunger. What is your water intake like anon? As suggested for the above anon, when you find yourself going to the fridge just to snack have some water instead. Then go find something to do, put the washing on, having a shower, re-arrange a book shelf. If after having a drink and a bit of activity, if you're still /hungry/ then eat something.

Keep a food diary to measure what your calorie intake is like every day. Then try planning out what you're going to eat in the coming week and only buy what you've planned to eat. If it's not there, you can't binge on it, you can't pick at it. The on-again-off-again, fast-day-feed-day type diets have shown good results so far so you could have a day where you eat the leftovers in the fringe if the next day is followed by something like 500-1200 calories. But I'm not a medical professional or nutritional specialist so don't take that as the gospel fact.

With regards to finishing a plate, this is a hugely common problem. One way round it is to buy smaller plates. Or actively put less on the plate. Creative solutions to portion control.

Good luck anon.

>>7763019

Shes one of the least impressive in lifting stats, in her weight class.

She may be able to bench, but shed be better at it if shed had a higher muscle to fat ratio.

>>7763160
This is also true anon.

>>7762802
Okay, I know this is sentiment that has been expressed over and over and over, but I have to wonder how people can live with themselves looking like this. It's not that she's //fat//, she's fucking HUGE.

How do you fit through doors? Do chairs break under you? How about clothes? Where did she get clothes that actually fit that //frame//?? I'm not the epitome of beauty myself but I work out and do my best to keep an active lifestyle. I just cannot understand how you can just do this to yourself.

>>7762861

Thin privilege is being able to out0eat your fat friends at the buffet and still not gain weight :^)

>>7763173
This. Hooray Asian genes. Fucking thank you dad.

>>7762932
>mfw I'll never be short and petite
>i'll always just be a lanky beanpole

Choke makes me feel better about myself because she's pretty and also a beanpole.

>>7763175
>asian

I'm 100% German 'murrican.

Most of my family is straight-off-the-boat German, and then like 10% Native American.

So I'm not sure where this all came from.

>>7763138

>>I'm compelled to finish my plate regardless of how full I am
Take smaller portions. Use a smaller plate.

>>I find myself organising the fridge and the cupboard hiding food I like the look of to make sure someone else doesn't eat it
Stop doing this. Just avoid these areas in your house.

>>If someone leaves something I'll find myself picking at it
Put it away or again just avoid going into the kitchen.

>>Likewise "Does anyone want this? I'm gonna throw it out otherwise." I'll immediately react and eat it regardless of how full I already am
This one your just going to have to mentally deal with. You dont need someones sloppy seconds!

>>I binge eat any nice food in one sitting
Again portions. Take what you need and then put the rest away immediately. Don't leave yourself the temptation.

>>I cannot stand the feeling of being hungry and will immediately eat to make the feeling go away.
Drink a big glass of water and then after that your still hungry eat a healthy snack. Alternatively I used to find that I would be starving after eating dinner and solved this by going on a walk after dinner. Cant eat if I'm not in the house.

>>7763186
I didn't say that you were. I was celebrating a fast metabolism and it's usually equated with being a tiny Asian girl.

>>7763157
Thanks anon. I guess my actual water intake is probably lacking, though I almost always have a massive mug of tea.

Ah, that's all excellent advice but unfortunately I'm still not in control of what food is bought. I live with my boyfriend and his family. This is one of the reasons it's been so hard, I went from somewhere I'd never experienced a full fridge or cupboard to somewhere the fridge is constantly bursting with delicious food. Not only that but my bf is actively trying to gain weight, so there are a lot of highly calorific snacks about because he's a lazy person who doesn't eat when he's hungry. We're well matched, lol.

I did use myfitnesspal for a while, but I found that having to actively track what I was eating made me more obsessive, to the point where it was all I'd think about all day.

The plate advice is good and something I can do though, thanks!

>>7763175
Beware of this anon. You might be thin but your body could be horribly unhealthy.

Thin =/= Healthy

>>7763145
Actually that anon is bellow the recommended weight for her height. For women the basic formula is 3-5 lbs per inch + 100lbs for every inch. So anon at 5'3" should be between 109 and 115 according to the general formula. Her ideal wight would of course be different factoring in muscle and genetics. She could be thinner then you would think because just knowing someone's weight/height isn't going to tell you their build and stuff like that.

>>7763203
That's unfortunate anon, it's a lot harder to exercise control when temptation is very close. Again my best advice is whenever you find yourself going to the fridge, go do something else.

Trying once is easy, discipline is hard.

Delicious food will still be there tomorrow and next week and next month.

>>7763207
Oh, I know. Just like someone can look like this and they may be much more healthier than I.

Gotta love that Tumblr logic where everyone is suddenly my healthcare provider and I must have 9001 health problems. Hue.

>>7763211
That's really frustrating. i don't eat the best diet on the planet, but I'm not unhealthy.

I do, coincidentally, have 9001 health problems, but none of them are due to my diet or weight.

>>7763138
Try using MyFitnessPal. It has a calorie tracker along with breaking down your daily meals into a recommended percentage of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. It also balances things out for how much exercise you do to burn calories but not have your body go into starvation mode. You can also add friends and stuff who are also working towards getting to a healthy weight to motivate you.

>>7762871
>>7762805

Anyone ever see feel really bad about yourself when you see how big a fat person is? Like you see that guy whose back is as big as a door at McD's. Then he makes me feel really small and I go lift.

>>7763226
No, looking at fat people is depressing.

Ruins my day.

>>7763202
Unless you exercise a lot. That's not how it works. You don't have a fast metabolism. Being able to eat a lot one day doesn't make you fat, nor does it mean lel muh metabolism because you didn't gain weight for being a fatty a few days out of the month.

The thing about Asians is that they tend to gain fat underneath their muscle in their torso as opposed to over the muscle.
This means you won't look as big as you would had that fat gone over your muscle, but it also means you have a higher risk of medical issues if you don't keep your waist/fat down to a reasonable size.

>>7763229
Not the anon you replied to, but this explains a lot why I don't look as big as I probably should.

Bright side is that this whole thread is motivating me to exercise again.

>>7762804
You know if you wear a dress that's suppose to look like a strawberry, you should not look like an actual strawberry in it.

>>7763192
Thanks anon, removing the temptation seems to be the theme here! The water thing seems to be a popular bit of advice too, I'm really going to try and get into the habit of drinking when I think I'm hungry.

>>7763209
>Delicious food will still be there tomorrow and next week and next month.
This is the hardest thing to try and drill into my brain. Rationally I know it's true but going against all of the strategies I cultivated not to feel hungry all the time is proving to be a real challenge.

>>7763217
I have tried using it before, but I found myself really obsessing over what I was going to eat. It made distracting myself really hard, but I'm gonna try and give it another go and maybe ask my bf to help me out with it.

>>7762809
Jesus Christ boobs. How does she function? Just one on it's own is bigger than her head.

>>7763164

I have wondered the same. I understand not being into working out and stuff. Some people work more than me and/or just don't care about it. I have a job where I have to pass a PT test every year, so there is that.

But, I can't understand people that are enormous. It seems like it's more effort to get that fat than it is just to be sorta fat.

>>7763145
They're probably thin if they have moderate exercise and eat healthy, BMI wise they're probably considered underweight.

>>7763208
>just knowing someone's weight/height isn't going to tell you their build
This is true also. After I started going to the gym and eating healthier I dropped two pants sizes but my weight went up a few pounds.

>>7763208
>3-5 lbs per inch + 100lbs for every inch
>7300+ lb

I guess I am doing pretty good then.

>>7763245
I like it. Usually I ignore the nutrition section because when I was seeing my nutritionist she had me on a Mediterranean diet, which worked well for me since I'm anemic. Honestly I would recommend seeing a nutritionist. For my mother she ended up loosing nearly 200lbs in a year with exercise and diet, and while my results haven't been as fast and dramatic I've lost 50 lbs in 6 months.

>>7763237
Yep, you just have to be careful about it. As long as your waist is under 30"(assuming you aren't also very tall) you're generally OK.

>>7763265
that should be every inch over 5' so if you're 50 feet tall then you're actually severely underweight and I hope you get the help that you need.

>>7763280
3-5 lbs for every inch over 5', +100 lbs for every inch.

So then me, at 5'5" should be... 525 lbs?


What the fuck is this actually supposed to be? Is it +100 lbs for every FOOT over 5'?

>>7762844
This.
I'm a fatty and I get compliments on my outfits regularly, both from people I know and strangers.
It drives me insane when bigger people blame the fashion industry for not accomodating to them. If you know where to look, it really isn't that hard. Being big is no excuse to be lazy and not try to find good clothes or spend an extra half hour doing hair/makeup in the morning.

>>7763280
>>7763285
I think I get it anon. It's 100lbs for the initial 5', then 3-5lbs for every additional inch beyond that. Though I'm not sure how accurate that really is, considering I'm 4'11" and at 92lbs I've got some visible tummy appearing. I can't begin to imagine how 100lbs would be average.

Fatties, if you wanna lose weight, you have to actually keep track of the shit you eat. Because you're probably consuming a lot more than you think you are

Fucking landwhales, ruining everybody's good time

>>7763298
It's ideal body weight assuming that you have a good body composition, I think.

>>7763259
I had the same thing happen in reverse. I had to basically stop exercising for 3 weeks due to a bad concussion (walking only, couldn't even do pilates or yoga because I was getting random dizzy spells). In that time my weight dropped 2lb eating the same things I would normally eat when exercising, but I looked like I'd actually gained at least 5lb as I put on 2" around my hips and waist. I'm finally getting back into it this week and really pissed off about the whole thing.
>mfw I'm actually at my 'goal weight'/preferred weight when I'm fit... but look like shit.

>>7763325
... maybe you should have watched what you ate if you knew you couldn't exercise it off. You're obviously eating too much if tree measly weeks made you put on 2".

>>7763285
How the fuck do you not get it?
100lbs +5lbs for every inch over 5'
Ex
Sarah is 5'4
Therefore we go (5lbs)(4")+100
So at 5'4 Sarah should be around 120lbs to be at her ideal weight give or take 5lbs depending on how much muscle she has.

>>7763325
Yes you've got it. Sorry if it was confusing but I use that as a general guideline for how much I should weigh. I'm 5'6" so as long as I am between 118 and 130 I'm ok. Different people are going to carry weight differently so some people may have a tummy at that weight but are still healthy. It's a general health guide not an aesthetic one.

God I love fat chicks

>>7762933
Dude, what kind of doctor do you have? 120 or under is quite thin for someone around 5'5". According to pic related, you're barely not underweight. I'm 5'5-5'6" and 115 lbs, and my doctor says I'd be considered underweight if I weren't still growing.

>>7763329
Yeah, as I said, I was eating the same as I usually do when I exercise. I'm pissed off mainly at myself - I severely underestimated how badly I'd whacked my head, so assumed I'd be right back into things within the week. I just have to get through the next 6-8 weeks of getting my fitness back which I think is going to be the most difficult part, the inches will come off secondary to that.

>>7763335
>For women the basic formula is 3-5 lbs per inch + 100lbs for every inch.

3-5 lbs per inch

plus 100 lbs for every inch

Is it so hard to see how that sounds confusing, for someone who's never heard that before? The OP typed it wrong, stop being a sandy bitch.

Is it alright to be overweight if you have an ok body fat percentage? I'm pretty significantly overweight, and it's not because of muscle or anything like that, but my body fat index is somewhere around 15%?

>>7762959
>And there are no benefits to being overweight.

actually I can think of one.

There was an article a fat lady had written about becoming thin. She was now a very fit lady and she said there were a few things she actually missed about being fat.

She could move heavy objects with no help. She said because of the muscle it takes to move all that fat around she could easily move the couch out of the way to clean under it. At her new weight she's still plenty strong but has to get her husband to move it now.

So it has at least one bona fide benefit.

>>7763357

Do you also have good cardiovascular fitness, eat a healthy balanced diet, and did you measure your body fat percentage accurately (hydrostatically) as calipers don't measure intra-abdominal fat? If no, then no.

Something that could really help is taking your friend to a picnic! I did this with a couple of friends. We went grocery shopping together and pretty much only picked lighter foods, like cheeses, fruit, some German meats, etc. Going on a picnic is fun and it could help encourage your friend to eat healthier too.

>>7763364
>"teehee I'm just naturally skinny it's so great, I can eat whatever I want"
Yeah I had a friend in high school who was like that. She got fat after graduation.

>>7763368
Yes, I believe so?
I work out regularly, don't eat fast food or soda, and the body fat thing seems pretty accurate because I have a flat tummy and cant really grab fat anywhere on me. I've just always been around 5-10lbs overweight for my height range (4'11").

Any tips for an aspiring swolita? Right now I'm a flat chested 18 year old who can fit into Asian girl clothes. I only have one cheap JSK, but I worry I won't fit into it if I gain muscle. I also went to the doctor yesterday, and she found that I had stopped producing sex hormones which was delaying me finishing puberty. I now also have to worry about growing boobs and not being able to wear my cute clothes once I start my meds.

>>7763358
There are weight lifters with minimal body fat and small frames. They can move couches. You don't need to be fat to move a couch. Moving a couch when your fat puts you out of breath. That's not a benefit.

>>7763364
Has she hit her mid-20s yet? If not, then wait to see the magical expanding balloon once she does.

I'm 5'3 and 120 and I feel fat and disgusting all the time,like really awful,I look at my calves,thighs,arms,...in EVERY.SINGLE.MIRROR.I.PASS.BY
I swear it's fucking awful. When I eat I usually cry after,I move my ass at least once a day for a long walk (asthma is shit for doing sports but I don't want to stay on my fat ass all day doing nothing) and I limit myself to 1200 calories at max. I swear when i see those fat people I feel horrible and it makes me want to eat even less

>>7763364
There have been one or two stories I know of where individuals who ate nothing but mcdonalds died of malnutrition. Their lifestyle was facilitated by parents who'd indulged their food related whims early and then where unable to control and deal with the fallout as the kids got older.

Your friend is skinny because she's malnourished. If she ate a balanced diet she'd probably gain weight and would need a solid exercise regime to get a truly fit body.

>>7762940
Tumblr has its good side too let's admit it,like shit you can find some real cute stuff there and some funny shit when you're depressed. But seriously those SJW/muh privilege people are cancer

>>7763388
Have you thought about doing weights/body weight exercises/calisthenics? They don't tend to make people as short of breath, so if that's a worry for you with your asthma it could be an exercise option.

>>7763378
If you have a large frame this could be part of the equation. Obviously someone with a larger bone structure should and is going to weigh more than someone with a more petite frame. Case in point - my mother and I. We're basically the same height but she wears a size 5 shoe and has very petite ankles and wrists. I wear a size 7 shoe, and my ankles and wrists clearly have a larger circumference than hers - at least bigger by about a half an inch. While she looks great at around 110 pounds, I look almost sickly at 115.

>>7762963
You can do it, anon! But may I recommend not immediately cutting all soda and sweets? I know friends who were super addicted to both and tried cutting them cold turkey, and they couldn't commit. It's really hard. Instead, I'd highly recommend cutting down both soda and sweets gradually and substituting them with other things.

For example, let's say you normally drank three cans of soda a day (not saying you do, just an example). You could start drinking just two cans of soda and replace the third can with some fizzy, flavored water (or maybe some sweet juice). As you get used to this routine, you could cut it down to one can, and two glasses of flavored water, and keep gradually changing what you ingest until you're fine with just hydrating yourself with water and the VERY occasional sugary drink.

Good luck!

Is it possible for you to bring your own snacks to work? You could try bringing some healthy granola bars and a water bottle! When you're feeling bored/fidgety, you could instinctively just drink from your water bottle and snack on your granola bars.

>>7763388
Proven fact anon, when people are upset a lot, they gain and retain weight. It's a complex hormonal chain that I won't insult by simplifying but this kind of self inflicted guilting won't be helping.

Take a deep breath anon.

As I said before, keep in mind your measurements, your % body fat and your fitness level before judging yourself. You might be 120 because of muscle, you might have a high bone density, you might have a cholesterol imbalance or any number of things.

If you want to try and shed 14-20 lbs try drinking more water. If you're eating 1200 calories that's not bad or a hell of a lot. So at this point you'll probably need to look into upping your physical activity. Cardio is probably the bain of your asthma but you can burn calories doing yoga or palates. Both of which can be done from the comfort of your own home.

>>7763396
As anon suggested, doing weights as well will help improve your strength and work in conjunction with toning you up in general. By combining weights with things like squats, sit ups, planking, leg raises etc you can start to strip your body of all it's excesses.

Good luck anon.

>>7763399
Are fizzy flavored water drinks actually healthy? I usually don't drink anything but water (not for health reasons, but because i just love the taste of cold water, especially after a hot day in Arizona...) but I tried some flavored water the other day, and I fell in love. Something feels wrong about it being practically soda and claiming "0 cal, 0 sugars" though... so I haven't really tried it since.
I'm not asking healthy on a "drink all the time" thing, but moreso on a "will this make me fat if i drink it one or two times a week" thing.

>>7763413
It's not going to make you fat because it doesn't have the calories or sugars to do so
Some people claim that the artificial sweeteners are bad for your health, but the amount that you'd get from having them once to twice a week is not going to do any harm.

What do you guys think about a fatty with a mascot head/fully covering/well fitting cosplay? I'm not a 250+lbs moocow, just fat.

>>7763386

I'm not sure how old she is, but I can't imagine how she'd even be able to survive on my university campus.

The university I go to has the biggest campus in the United States. You have 15 minutes to switch classrooms, and it's possible that you'll have to walk (more like speedwalk) from one end of the campus ALL THE WAY to the very opposite end. I can't imagine how she'd be able to manage that. And to top it off, our elevators constantly have issues so people tend to just take the stairs. She would not be able to fit in our fucking stairwells.

But then again, I guess people like her probably don't do anything and just stay at home anyway.

>>7763413
i am bewildered when people don't understand basic knowledge about calories

I'm glad your board didn't break, anon. I was holding my breath for the inevitable, but it didn't come.

>>7763421
But the taste is still there, which means it has artificial sweeteners? And aren't those bad, but just different?
I don't know, I really don't understand anything, and just get bits and pieces people throw at me as fact without the pieces to put them together. When I try to google for answers, I just get conflicting yahoo answer results with no backup. So no, I don't have basic knowledge and I am ignorant. I wish i wasn't, but I am.

Anon, if you ever have a health question, google is usually really good at turning up good sites to go to get information on those health questions. Mayo Clinic has a really good resource explaining in layman's terms many different types of health conditions for instance, and even has a section on nutrition.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/artificial-sweeteners/art-20046936

Seriously, no yahoo answers for health questions.

>>7763413
I tend not to trust fizzy drinks because

1. I'm not a health expert
2. I don't know if artificial sweeteners are okay/bad for you, but I always assume the worst

For those reasons, I just stick with water or unsweetened tea.

Once a week isn't a big deal, though!

>>7763444
Alright, thanks a bunch. It might be because I usually type it in as questions, and I also frequent the site, so google tosses it up at the top.

>>7763444
>If you're trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain, products sweetened with artificial sweeteners rather than with higher calorie table sugar may be an attractive option
>On the other hand, some research has suggested that consuming artificial sweeteners may be associated with increased weight

Weeps
I'm still just as lost on the fizzy water debate as before

>>7763413
It depends. Back when I was going to the nutritionist regularly, they were encouraging us to substitute our sodas and stuff with those waters solely because the artificial sweeteners used in them are calorie free so they won't make you gain weight. The research that has been done on those sweeteners used is also conflicting. I just know that Walgreens makes a peach flavored one that tastes just like peach Fanta and I'm hooked. If you're worried about the health consequences of artificial sweeteners but still want fizz and flavor try a mineral water with a bit of lemon. Lemon also has the bonus of being a metabolism booster.

>>7763421
I know what you mean. Like I will be somewhere with my friends and they are standing there saying shit I know is straight up wrong... like basic stuff you learn in elementary school health class but because I'm the fat one I don't want to tell them that they're not right because you know how people are all like fat=unhealthy no matter what... when I'm half tempted to be like "yeah I know I'm fat and everything, and you all know I'm working on that but my lab work if off the chain minus my thyroid."

>>7763429
They aren't 'bad' in the sense of 'this drink is full of sugar which contains a certain amount of energy (calories). The label says it has zero calories, it means it has zero calories.

They're 'bad' in the sense that if you drink too much of them, they give you the runs and you can get artificial sweetener poisoning - most case reports are in people who drunk half a gallon of diet coke a day for years.

Please go look at some decent nutrition websites, not just the first thing google brings up when you look for 'are artificial sweeteners bad'. I'm UK based, so the website I can recommend for decent basic information are the british nutrition foundation, healthy food guide magazine and the NHS choices websites.

>>7763451

Ahh, that might be why. I've noticed that too when I type in questions.

I agree as well - there's a lot of information out there to take in! I'm really sorry if I came across as condescending, but I understand from personal experience it can be overwhelming finding the right information. I just hope you found what you were looking for, really.

>elementary school health class
Well, I never had that... I mean, there were a lot of things wrong with my elementary school classes, for the most part because we were the "gifted class", so they would keep us with one teacher all day, for the entire year, who would be expected to teach us everything, but generally were experts in one area... middle and high school were awful catching up times. But I'm pretty sure that even the normal kids didn't have health class. Neither did my middle school class, and the high school had one elective, for teens wanting to become doctors, but that's it.

>>7763461
Yeah, alright. Thank you!

>>7763462
Oh no, no problem at all! I appreciate it.

>>7763413
They usually have aspatarme in them, I work at a pharmacy front end that sells some so I buy a black cherry flavored one ocasionally. There's a lot of debate on whether or not artificial sweeteners make people have food or sugar cravings more often, something something like it doesn't effect blood sugar but your body still thinks it's taking it in. They are also converted differently in the body compared to regular sugar.

Sorry if that seems really uninformative but you could probably find out a lot more on medical sites or even the food and fitnes boards here.

>>7763413
Isn't the fiz in fizzy water just bicarbonate of soda?

I'm addicted to those weight loss frozen tv dinners... I know it's probably really really unhealthy for me, and I'm going to run into a shitton of complications later, but for 600 calories a day, I've actually lost a bunch of weight, even though I was already normal-thin. I don't know why people always say these things don't work, because they seem to do their job. Really really well. And taste better than anything I've ever eaten in my entire life. (granted, i grew up on asian food, so just being able to taste new things tastes amazing). I mean, I can get gaining weight after you stop, because your calorie intake goes up, but that's common sense?

Ah, that's interesting, and makes sense to why some people might say it causes weight gain... But people also say that birth control causes weight gain for the same reason, but I managed to stay alright just by continuing to track my calories and not stuffing my face, so it should be alright?

Not eat like a dumbass and take care of yourself.

>>7763483
The major problem with them is the sodium content.

>>7763480
Did you ever own a sodastream back in the day? It's carbon dioxide bubbles. Some of them dissolve which is why fizzy water without sweeteners is sour, because it's carbonic acid. There's no bicarbonate in it at all unless you add it/add a base.

>>7763383
I just got this horrible/hilarious image of a swolita accidentally flexing white reaching for something and straight up tearing their clothes in two.

>>7763483
Uh, well, depends on which brands you're getting anon, but yeah, most of them aren't great for you. Packed with salt, a surprising amount of sugar (14 grams of sugar in a Teriyaki bowl, Amy's, are you serious?), etc. Definitely not the absolute worst, but make sure anything you eat outside of this is healthy.

You'll probably want to ween yourself off of a good chunk of those frozen meals, though.

>>7763492
The big problem with college girls is the change in diet. I didn't have much food growing up and ate simple, but once I got to college and had a meal plan I went crazy eating the rich and unhealthy goods at the buffet style dining halls. Plus unlimited soda, and dessert at every meal, I'm surprised I didn't gain more weight.

>>7763475
I'm from Fairfax County and our school system is known for being pretty awesome. And these people I am talking about who are my friends all went to the same high school as me and this was all covered in seventh and ninth grade bio. It's a part of the mandatory curriculum for the state in those two grades in the state of Virginia to cover calories and things. But because of where in the state we went to school the test is laughably easy. As in middle school and high school our teachers were for the most part not even worried about us failing. I know I am lucky to have came up through where I came up through because holy shit when I see people on the internet talk about stuff like sex ed and how shitty it was for them or my younger siblings who ended up going to school in rural Michigan and are like 5 years behind where I was at that age (and I'm 10-15 years older then the three of them) I rage so hard.

Is this the real life?

>>7763494
It definitely won't be helping. However exercise in itself releases endorphins. So put on a film or some music you enjoy and work out for an hour. Which will, in time, at least do something for your body which might at least alleviate one of the things bringing you down.

There are lots of people struggling in exactly the same way. You're not alone anon. Best of luck.

Their sites and message boards got reported to shit finally and/or a grand majority got treated or died. I remember having a few of those bookmarked when I had an eating disorder because I couldn't stand how slowly I was losing weight and thought I could research my way into doing it more efficiently. It, uh, worked. But holy shit what poisonous terrible environments those places were, with loads of wannarexics being awful to one another.

Yeah, I'm from Arizona, which I'm pretty sure is the very bottom or second to the bottom for educational spending. Our sex ed was a 1 hour class they pulled us out for in 5th grade, with the girls and boys separate, and they just talked to us about periods and got rid of us. I'm actually pretty surprised we don't have crazy teenage pregnancy rates (or pathetic test scores on a different note) to be quite honest.

>>7763274

> You know you you twist at the waist or bend slightly and there's a crease at your waistline?

Yeah. I'm super skinny trying to gain like 10kg (and still failing) and I have that crease line.

>>7763526
Yeah we had sex ed every single year starting in 5th grade. like 5th and 6th grades were boys and girls separated with an hour long class once a week for three weeks. 7th and 8th is when they introduced birth control and condoms into the equation along with STIs, and how to practice safe sex so you're chances of getting an STI were decreased, then in 9th you got all of that stuff again and then more. 10th-12th grades is when they brought out the crack whores who were all HIV+ to tell you their life stories. Which honestly despite being really scare tactics-y they were still like go on and have sex, but be smart about it and don't let people control you or your body... I have no idea what education spending is like for our county but we were on a 5 point scale. I did go to high school with a lot of politicians kids so that may be a part of it... and I know that the top high school in the country was in our county I went there for one year but too many autistic people so I had to leave before I snapped.

> mfw been a bit chubby most of my life
> high school happens, be stressed the fuck out all the time and cope with this by eating tons of shit
> mfw I gained tons of weight fast before I even realized it

I think I look disgusting but now I'm about to start at a uni and doing something I like, so hopefully I'll be less stressed then before, I really want to lose this weight.

Any tips against emotional eating? I'm really bad with it because the moment I feel stressed or upset I get a huge craving to eat whatever I can find.

>>7762802
Supper-massive Lard Whale?

>>7763532
I will second that. I drink that shit like you would not believe. One of the ladies from the yoga studio above my store got me hooked on it. It's what I do when my Pierre and lemon supply is low.

>>7763532
What about seltzers? I know Canada Dry isn't exactly healthy but they have seltzers with really good fruit taste sans the sweetness. However, looking at the nutritional facts it lists 0% fat, sodium. carbs, proteins and doesn't list sugar. But in the tiny post script the bottle says "Not a significant source of fat cal, saturated fat, trans fat, cholest., fiber, sugars, vitamins ___________"

So some tiny amount of sugar or aspartame could have made its way in.

>>7763453
>correlation is not causation
the association between artificial sweeteners and gaining weight is from people over-eating because they think they can "cheat" since the drinks don't contain calories

>>7762927
I'm 96 pounds and 5'5, would that make me unhealthy or something?

>>7763573
Uh no. It's mostly due to the fact that it is currently unknown what affects artificial sweeteners have. Current theories range from, causing lower -or- higher blood sugar all the way up to a possible cancer agent.

>>7763554
The only real solution anon is to regain control and find other outlets for your emotions. This is really really hard and something I've struggled with myself. I still succumb on occasion but I've managed to substitute some of my usual go-tos with calorie-low snacks.

That and start tackling the things that make you stressed so they don't stress you out so much.

It's a long hard road anon. Be strong and good luck.

I'm 140 and 5'8 and dislike my body most of the time. I've been 120 before and felt so bad at the time. Starving, purging, constantly thinking about food and how fat I was etc. There is a part of me that wants to be 120 again.

>>7763535
or that you're confusing waist measurement for hip measurement

>>7763579
It means you're underweight and it might be a healthy risk. But then it might not. Different people react differently and unless you have reason to suspect something is physically wrong and visit a doctor you're probably fine.

>>7763584
>I read sensational msn articles and emails my relatives send me! I like quoting non scientific, non peer reviewed articles written by sensationalists that misquote and skew data from real scientific articles! I've never been to college or taken a statistics class!
The "cancer agent" gave it away

>>7763579
Are you asian?

>>7763594
At that height, being 120 isn't majorly bad but if you want to go down that road again it will have to be with a more positive attitude. Starving and purging isn't good for you and not sustainable considering what it does to your body in the long run.

>>7763589
thank you anon, good to know I'm not alone.

>>7763584
would you like a tinfoil hat with your Coke?
also
>effects, not affect

>>7763543
I am pretty sure she meant average height and is going to the dietitian to lose weight? Either way, fuck a 37 in waist

>>7763612
But she said
>this explains a lot why I don't look as big as I probably should.

So either she SHOULD look gigantic, or...

>>7763598
Thanks, my doctor never said anything about it, but reading this thread got me a bit worried.
>>7763603
Nope. But in an alternate universe, we're probably all cute Asian girls.

>>7763584
>>7763607
I wasn't saying legit theories, jeesh. I'm a chemistry major myself, but I don't believe any of that shit, just using it to illustrate that it's just that spread out and the scientific community has no idea what it does long term. So much so these crackpot theories are actually widely believed by idiots.

>>7763353
I thought bmi is bullshit because it doesn't consider the differences in racial differences of bone structure/density and muscle weight vs fat weight.

>>7763503
Yeah, but FCPS has always been in the top 20 school systems in the US, both for size and quality. It's because of great funding and proximity to DC (thus the FDA, USDA, NIH, and others). Highly educated populace= informed decisions= better health classes.

>>7763621
>cute asian girls
b-but I have a penis anon

>>7763623
>doesn't consider the differences in racial differences of bone structure/density and muscle weight vs fat weight.

The only difference is fat vs muscle weight. Bone structure and race have nothing to do with weight, bones are really light weight honestly. A short asian girl with a tiny frame could have the same BMI as a tall girl with broad shoulders and that sort of thing.

>>7763543
>>7763535
Fucking hell, I meant "average-ish height", not weight. No idea what happened to that word in the post.
Anyway, yeah waist is at that width and I'm working on cutting more off.

>>7763633
Even better.

>>7763612
Yeah I meant average height. I'm going to see a dietitian to talk about getting on a diet that should help keep my heart healthy and in extension help me not die in my sleep from brugada syndrome if I end up having said disease.

>>7763619
If it helps, I'm at 211 pounds. (Lost a good 35 already, but nowhere close to acceptable.)
I have seen others at around my weight and height being a lot bigger, but they weren't asian, so the anon I was talking to originally gave a plausible answer. Probably not the only one though.

>>7763662
can I at least keep my penis while being a cute asian girl

>>7763664
Of course.

>>7763399
Thanks for your help! I'll try it gradually.

>Thread started to poke fun at fatties
>Derailed to something constructive
>No "baww i'm offended"

Is this thread real life?
I just love when /cgl/ is like this.

>>7763668
but will you be my cute asian gf so we can have asian gf on asian gf-trap nookie?

>>7763428
You bet your ass they are, and plus I put so much custom work into mine, built the deck, selected trucks and wheels myself as well as hand-carved my name into the griptape. PETA would've been all over me if she broke my board because there would've been a dead whale in that parking lot...

>>7763693
Right? I haven't seen threads go this well in so long. And to think just a few days ago I was being hated on in the lolita general for offering advice to a fat person on how to get fit...

petition for fat lolitas to be renames itaplanets

bump because I like where this thread was going, reposting picture from my itaplanet cgl folder

>>7763728
same girl I think

>>7763664
>wannabe Futa detected

>>7763693
It's nice to see less arguing, that's for sure. To healthy eating, one and all.
>and a picture of a cute bunny eating lettuce for encouragement

What's up with this stance

So what's everyone's favourite healthy snack? I eat cherry tomatoes, beetroot and grapes. I have a sweet tooth.

>>7763747
I binge on cherry tomatoes. My all time favourite food hands down.

>>7763747
Freeze dried fruit. The flavor is very concentrated it satisfies my cravings for candy. I'm working on not getting those cravings.

>>7763747
Blueberries. Usually on their own or with a small serving of greek yogurt and local honey.

>>7763754
I looove greek yoghurt with honey. It have a massive pot of it in the fridge and I'll just spoon some out for breakfast. Sometimes with fruit or nuts too.

>>7762809
the green bit, I like the embroidery.

>>7763747
Does anyone else find after switching to fruit and veg as snacks, after about a week or so artificial sugar snacks don't taste as nice as they did?

>5'4
>Went from 180 to 105lbs
I'm skinny but I'm deformed as hell. My boobs sag, I have terrible stretch marks and I'll just never be pretty.
I honestly wish I was still fat because then I at least had hope of becoming pretty.

>>7763747
carrots, I love them

>>7763740
well I mean if I have to become an asian girl I'd like to at least keep my favorite body part, okay

>>7763747
Grapes. And there's always strawberries at my house because of my Mom's job, so I guess those too.

>>7763495
What does this involve exactly? Advice for a skinny girl looking to maintain or lose a little

>>7763765
Try bio oil to help with the stretch marks anon. For a sagging chest try weights and there's the muscle that's used to lift the pectorals which you can try to isolate and lift. It's hard to describe but it can help bring the chest up.

>>7763747
Whole raw green beans, preferably home grown or from a farmer's market. I could eat them all day.

>>7763755
I've never tried greek yoghurt with honey before! Normally I just put in some fruits, like strawberries and blueberries, but I'll try it with honey next time. Sounds amazing.

>>7763755
ooooh I should try it for breakfast tomorrow instead of a snack. :D Also, jealous that you have a pot of it.
>>7763760
Yep, they taste horribly sweet to me.

>>7763760
I feel the same way, anon! I find that artificially sweetened snacks tend to be a bit TOO sweet and makes me feel sick. Fruits/veggies over artificial shit any day!

>>7763765
Post pics I bet you're a qt3.14.So many con girls are qt's and either don't know it or don't have the self esteem to believe so.

>>7763783
You definitely should! Add the fruits in too for extra yum!

>>7763772
Not the anon you replied to, but maybe try limiting junk food, do some yoga or Pilates, and drink a lot of water.

>>7763747
I absolutely love concord grapes. They have extremely bitter skins that most people don't like, so usually only their jelly-like middle is eaten. They're sucked out of the grape from the hole where the stem met the grape. It freaking tastes like jelly candy.

Regular grapes are alright because they're decently sweet, but they still have a slight bitter aftertaste. Concord grapes look like the beautiful, perfectly round, purple/blue grades in paintings, and they taste MUCH better and sweeter. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

The only downside is that they're quite expensive... but so worth it!

>>7763803
Speaking of Pilates, my favorite workout channel on YouTube is Blogilates. The host, Cassie, is so sweet and super encouraging. Her videos are fun and during the routines she'll suggest alternative positions for a set if you're a beginner too!

10/10, would work out with again.

>>7763819
She's my favorite too! She's so adorably chatty, but damn do her videos work! I died the first time I tried to follow along.

Fuck eating like a goddamn shrew.

I did the keto diet for 4 months and went from 260 to 210. Had I not gone to vegas and shit up my diet i'd probably still be on a good track. Eating a lot and drinking was way too much fun.

Planning on starting back up though. Didn't really work out, just cut out all carbs and sugar. which left me with delicious meats and salads and fats.

>>7763824
Oh god, I know! I didn't think I'd feel so fucking dead and sore doing a pilates workout! You watch the videos, and it seems like "Oh, she's just lifting her leg up and down like 20 times, no big deal."

WRONG.

Man, it gets pretty intense. Who'd have thought working with just your body weight would make you so tired and sore...

I love pilates because of how elegant the moves are, and particularly because I feel that it helps with my flexibility when paired with yoga.

One of the big questions is always, what do you eat. So for the sake of comparison, how often do you guys order take out?

I only resort to it when I'm being social and we can't be bothered to cook or if we're at a con and fancy a night in rather than going out to find food.

And how often do you work out and what do you do?

I got to the gym and swim after 3-4 times a week and I do pole dancing once a week. Saving up for my own pole. It's crazy amounts of fun and I love how strong I feel doing it.

>>7763831
Avoid being disparaging of other people's tastes anon. There's no need for it. If you don't like fruit and veg that's okay.

At least they die young without reproducing.

>>7763365
Guuuuhhhh. She's fat, ugly, AND dumb.

>>7763855
for some reason all morbidly obese girls I know have boyfriends

>>7763839
Exactly! I couldn't believe the pain I was going through in the first few minutes.

I know, right? I was sore for 2 solid days after!

I should add yoga into my schedule this week. Hopefully I don't die. XD
