I'll get it out of the way: a Miata. While I personally don't care for them, the overall majority of AI will recommend one. Or just buy some fun little project that is within your technical limit and speaks to you.

But for the other type of dysfunction, you'll have to see your doctor for a prescription.

Just call yourself a gainer, set up a web page and take donations. If it works for girls, there must be enough of a fraction of a percentage of women that want to see a man gainer.

I took the red key in 95 and it lead to a 92 Eclipse GSX. From there my addiction spiraled out of control until I.. *sob* Until I.. Saab.. I tried to clean up my act with a Mini, but by that time the damage was already done and I find myself frequently turning off traction control in the rain. Am I beyond help? My previous doctor prescribed me 5.7 liters of Murican muscle after the 2.0, but that didn't satiate my appetite and took me further down. from there my dosage was backed off to 3.0 and now to 1.6, but I fear I'm already in too far. Is there any hope? Please tell me it gets better.

Age and genetics play into it, my father looked almost exactly like that (skinny but with a massive gut) until he got back into shape when he got the diabeetus - but despite my having a similar body fat content it's a lot more evenly distributed.

Then you get a few years down the road and recognize that you want to be alive for your kids... and you start changing your ways. It's amazing how some of the high-fat stuff starts to look repulsive when you get it out of your system/routine. And then you want to get rid of the gut and find out that it can be a loving bitch to get rid of. And then you put in the work.

Believe it or not, I don't get to eat out like I used to (thanks future wife! - and no its not being sarcastic)

Mostly its chicken. I have been using the rotisserie attachment on the grill here and there for whole chickens. Plus when I get a chance, we buy as much fresh chicken as possible, grill it up, and then freeze strips, breast and so on so theres always something good to eat. Plus this time of year there is tons of roadside stands with fresh veggies, so we have been purchasing a ton of fresh stuff.

The part that really sucks though is how expensive it is to eat cleanly and fresh. Processed food is so cheap compared to fresh. Again :911:

I refuse to cut out beer though. I have cut back on my pop consumption.

I understand when someone is overweight overall, but being skinny and then having a huge gut is just mind boggling to me. Some guys I see like this literally look pregnant, I'd do everything in my power not to look pregnant, I don't see how dudes can be content with that.

That's exactly right. I don't feel any different than when I got divorced, but I'm way heavier and in pictures I look downright skinny compared to now. And part of why I got divorced was because I was overweight and didn't take health seriously.

I'm living large and loving it but at some point the piper is gonna have to be paid.

I guess I should feel fortunate since I'm an Ectomorph body type and have to shovel calorie dense food into my mouth just to compensate for the lifting I do. But I'm not a big eater so in a way I feel that if I was a heavier body type it would be easier to just cut back the food intake. Making myself eat when I'm not really hungry is kind of a PITA :v:

I remember when I used to like this state. I can't even remember why now, it's one of the strictest states in the whole country for driving in and the populace is mostly ignorant hicks or self entitled assholes. Our drug laws are also some of the strictest in the country, and despite meth gaining more and more traction here every year, they continue to focus almost solely on weed, because literally everybody smokes it here and they don't even have to try hard to find it.
