Who is /fat/ for? Fat members of /fitlit/ who want to learn how to eat right, lift weights, and lose fat. Here we ask others for advice and give moral support to one another. We all know how hard it first is and we all have to get through it to better ourselves. At the end of the day this is a support general whose goal is to help and motivate the chubby channers who need it. Please be warned that there are some chronic idiots who post in this general giving horrible advice that doesn't work for them or anybody. If you see something that contradicts what the sticky says, ignore it.

As of today i'm 250lbs down from 360, 250 is sorta like a big number for me because i remember i once had to weight myself in junior high in front of everyone (gym class) and the scale showed 250, the whole class went silent, me included. I will never ever forget that moment.

It's a bittersweet feeling, sweet because i'm finally changing my life for the better, but bitter because it took me almost 10 fucking years to get my shit together

[Anonymous No.27696]

>>27645
Not really a cheat meal but I went to Country Cookin with my family and actually did really well.

Had a huge ass salad but they didn't have like light dressing so I drizzled as little ranch as possible on it, I swear I was a good goy.

Then I had the grilled chicken and a plain sweet potato. Had only super small portion of the unhealthy stuff.

I didn't eat breakfast and for dinner I had a baked salmon filet and steamed broccoli so I'm feeling pretty /proud/

>tfw trapped in a relationship

OK long story short, we met on this livestream app and we instantly kicked off. We really do like each other, and I would feel devastated if something happened to us. Thing is, she leaves a few states away and we're both poorfag students.

The relationship obviously isn't going to work, so I want to end it. However she is constantly texting me "I love you so much" and telling me how I'm her only friend. Because of how clingy she is it has hurt my gym time, I have skipped multiple gym trips because she wanted to talk to me. She has me added on social media, knows my name, where I live, and what uni I'm at. If I break up with her I will still never truly escape from her.

How do I break up with a girl I've never met without breaking her heart?

Congrats, anon. Numbers have so much meaning, the way we attach certain times of our lives to them.

I remember weighing myself like once in the 10 years from 7th grade to graduating college. The number was like 240 or something, and definitely wasn't my heaviest. I felt so ashamed and sick seeing that number that I was afraid to weigh myself.

I remember in grad school (the first time I decided to get healthy), I was so scared the first time I weighed myself after massive noticeable weight loss. Like, I literally decided to lose weight, stuck to a 1500 calorie per day diet, but never weighed myself at all because I was so nervous.

I was so happy when I saw something like 180. I trickled all the way down to 123 lbs (fine for 5'7"), but started drinking heavily, and went back up to 205 lbs.

Been back on the wagon for last two weeks. Counting calories again, haven't had a drink. Down to 198 this morning. I'm going to make it (again), because I know how hard it was the first time and I know how much it sucked to lose it all to something stupid like getting shitfaced every night by myself.

The mirror hides so much. It covers the blubber, the chins, the lighting is usually from the top, and we all fool ourselves by unconsciously altering head position to look better.

for starter.

I would say focus on getting flexible (this shit will help you in the long run)

light weights/high reps until you feel good with light weights and slowly move up.

If you are fat, eat the same, just cut the carbs that you would have eaten in half.

DON'T LOSS WEIGHT TOO FAST OR YOU HAVE HAVE SO MUCH FUCKING SKIN AND WILL BE A VIRGIN FOREVER!!!! (IF YOU DO HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUST STAY FAT PLEASE.)

Do you have any facts to back up this anti-CICO position?

[Anonymous No.28013]

>>27983

how quickly you lose the weight has nothing to do with loose skin. When you lose it slowly you just don't notice the change so it feels like you don't have as much loose skin. This is the worst fucking meme spread by people who have never lost 100+ pounds.

[Anonymous No.28086]

Dude, why do you care more about her than yourself? You owe her nothing. You'll say "I'll never forget her" but in a few months you'll have moved on emotionally, almost everyone does.

[Anonymous No.28138]

>>28086
Because we have a connection... We're both loners in a new place with no friends, and we're the only people we talk to.

I've never met her, but I feel so emotionally invested. We will never meet each other, which is why I feel this relationship will only cause harm, so I need to end it quick.

You're in a state of desperation. You need to break out of this destructive cycle if you are ever going to make it.

The fact is this relationship only survives BECAUSE of the distance. I guarantee if you were to meet in person / actually live near or with each other, it would fail.

You are both grasping at a fantasy that cannot exist.

I lived through this nightmare for 2 years, and when we met the magic wasn't there. You've got to break out mang. It's your only chance.

>I've never met her
Wake up man, this girl is nuts. All you know about her is the persona she puts on in front of a webcam, and you don't even know if you're the only one she talks to. inb4 "but she told me she loves me and said she's faithful".

[Anonymous No.28519]

>>28446
How do I do it breh? I don't wanna live this nightmare any longer.

I mean, she has been looking at apartments in her state so we can move in together. I just don't think she understands the situation, I'm not gonna transfer unis just to be with a grill I don't know.

I know her heart is gonna be broken, I just wanna soften the fall. But how do I do it? Text? Phone? Facetime? Or just block her and ignore her?

>soften the fall
Jesus you are a pussy. There is no soft to breakups. Just tell her it isn't going to work out and you want to focus on yourself and other things right now, then wish her best in the future and log off and don't talk to her anymore. It's simple. Be a fucking man and tell her to her face if you think you care about her. Blocking and ignoring a woman is what you do to a bitch that deserves it, because that will drive her crazy. Telling her to her 'face' is the adult way about it, seeing as she has done nothing wrong to you. Once you break it off never speak to her again, no more answering calls or messages or emails. Go on and live your life.

That's a pretty fast rate for weight loss like 35 lbs in 6 months! Good luck to you.

The clothing thing is definitely relatable, when I was my SW I looked shitty in everything and I hated shopping because I hated myself for having to look at the plus size section. However, I shop at like Forever 22 and H&M because it's cheap and the clothes are cute and usually I fit into something there. I also really like to go thrifting at like GoodWill because there's actually really cute stuff there you just gotta look, and it's super cheap so if you start to lose a lot of weight and don't fit into it it's not a big deal.

[Anonymous No.29735]

Also, invest in a good pair of jeans, they can slim you without cutting off blood to your extremities lol. I buy mine at Levi's just because I think they're really high quality and comfortable. They're kind of expensive and if you plan on losing weight quickly, it's probably not worth it. I also wear thick black leggings from American Apparel that make me look slimmer and they're cheaper then jeans and aren't so reactive to weight changes.
