Yeah there's some evidence that people who were obese as kids or teens will need to be on a (sometimes severely) calorie-restricted diet for the rest of their lives if they want to lose weight and keep it off. It's not the extreme diet itself that does it, it's just that adipocytes much more readily divide before you reach adulthood for some reason, so if you were a fat kid you'll have a greater number of fat cells in your body compared to people who grew up at a normal weight. This has all sorts of implications with the leptin/ghrelin signaling system, insulin resistance and how eager your body is to store calories as fat, so it really sucks when you grew up fat and try to lose weight as an adult.

Yeah, I lost 130 lbs "slowly" (about a year and a half), am sitting around 200 lbs, and maintenance for me is around 1800 cal. Normal for my stats is 2300 cal.

My current goal is to get down from 215 of goonflab to 200, then simply maintain that but change it into muscle.

I lost a bunch of weight in college but it's slowly crept back, in large part because I was overly concerned with numbers on a scale IMHO.

I'm a woman and I loving hate my breasts. I developed really early, in sixth grade (about age 10) and had no idea how to deal. I didn't get a bra until I was 14, and even then it was a really lovely one. I've never been comfortable wearing a bra and these days I only wear one to work. I don't have small boobs and can't really 'get away' with not wearing one in public. I think it's bullshit that women are expected to wear bras constantly btw. I mean I think a lot of the expectations put on women are garbage, but the bra thing in particular.

My real fesh is that I want to get a breast reduction. Actually, if I could get a double mastectomy tomorrow I'd be happy. Breasts are useless to me. They're big and in the way more often than not, there's no feeling to them sexually, and the size of mine means that none of my loving clothes fit properly. Oh, this dress fits my shoulders but is squeezing the life out of my chest, oh it fits my chest but it's baggy as poo poo on the shoulders and arms, etc. I loving hate this. I've never told anyone how much I viscerally hate my boobs, not even my girlfriend, and we've talked about similar things. I just want them loving GONE

I'll never be able to afford the surgery out of pocket. I loving hate this. I'm starting to think about just buying binders and getting along with that.

You should probably talk to your girlfriend at least once before doing something like that, but whatever works for you

quote:

I have big balls that also hang way down. If I'm really relaxed I can accidentally dunk them, the lower one.in the toilet. Gross. I stint let them get so relaxed anymore.
Also my dick is big. Porno sized, not monster sideshow sized. I had wanted to send this in but reading the single mom thread pushed me to do it. My wife had the tightest vagina of anyone I'd ever slept with. This is not one of the reasons we married. After she had our first kid she was much different. It is actually better in some ways because getting it in went beyond regular foreplay. We could never have a quickie before, her words. I'm not saying all women have same experience after birth, and she was unusual. I had a lot of experience prior to meeting her so can say that part with confidence.

So I sold everything and moved to the Northeast. I got a job and spent a lot of time feeling incredibly uncomfortable by all the nonwhites on the street and the MBTA. But I finished my associate's degree and got a better job in public education and learned to tolerate them. Everyone here thinks I'm hopelessly "conservative"

In the Northeast, where I live, absolutely everyone will say "Of course I'm not racist! I positively love all races and colors!"

Sadly, a lot of those people will in practice hire whites over nonwhites and put a hand over their wallet whenever one walks by.

But they vote democrat so it cancels that out. I have said it before but racism is everywhere and will never go away, even in the north and among highly educated people. It only appears like racism is more prevalent in the south because they don't hide it as well.

Counterpoint

Look, I've been on this ride since 2012, still haven't hit maintenance. I've lost more than 100 lbs in 7 months in one stretch, and gained close to 50 back in another (I'm a stress eater and my son had a life threatening heart condition).

People find what is successful, and they keep doing that same thing over and over again. After about a month of an activity, your body figures it out, so running the same three miles in the same direction on the same days at the same speed will produce a diminishing return to your fitness. You gotta mix it up, change things up, set more challenging goals and set long term ones that you may fail at (like running a marathon on completely arthritic knees, coming this fall).

I vary my diet, my calorie counts, my exercise routine in a 4-6 week schedule. My training runs still happen too, but there's speed work , intervals, etc to help with that. Tabata helps with plateaus too.

It can be done. It isn't easy.

I think a lot of people spend way too much time thinking about and researching which diets are the best and what exercise routine is optimal to the point that they never actually do it. I think it is far more effective to just do it yourself. A lot of healthy eating is pretty obvious, you don't necessarily need a meal-by-meal plan, and weight loss exercise is pretty simple and it doesn't really matter (to some extent) what you do as long as you do it and don't give up when you don't lose 50 pounds in the first month.

Pre-defined diets and plans work for some people but in my experience it's more likely to stick if you figure out the lifestyle changes you need to make on your own than just trying to follow what a book says.

sorry I've been slacking thread, here is a Very Long Fesh

quote:

HELLO

I've been a huge loser my whole life. I hated my body so much growing up that I basically alienated myself from everyone in social situations. I managed to get a few friends, who themselves were awkward fuckers. Since I disliked myself so much I spent most of my free time playing videogames. It got real bad in 2003/2004 when World of Warcraft came out... It offered the perfect safe space for me, where no one could see the real me and I had to not expose myself to anyone in the real world. At this point I was like 18ish and I should have been out in the real world exploring, making friends and lovers and doing as much living as I could...

Instead I was only playing videogames. I woke up, started the computer to play videogames and then played videogames until I went to sleep. It was ridiculous. I barely went to school, I hated it there. I had no friends in college at all, not a single one. I never felt particularly depressed but I probably really should have because my life was poo poo. I didn't feel much at all. Whenever I played games it was my perfect escapism. Maybe because of it I never really allowed myself to fully get in touch with my emotions or whatever.

This "lifestyle" continued for years.

I still lived at home at age 26 and I had no job. I had never kissed a girl or been to a party. I had never been drunk or had any wild adventures, I had no money and I had lost all my friends. While my friends were also goony fuckers they managed to get girlfriends and even grow a bit as people while I still preferred to live like a recluse so eventually we just lost contact with each other, which was almost entirely my fault.

By this time I was a lonely fat gently caress with acne, horrible posture and absolutely ZERO social skills. I had reached the bottom, and pretty hard.

For some reason, around age 26-27, I got really fed up with my life. I don't know what changed at that time specifically but I was just so completely tired of my day to day situation. It was just like a complete mental fatigue. I hated what I had let my life become.

Since one of my big personal issues was body image issues, I started going to the gym. I worked my rear end off for 3 years and in the meantime got a job as well.

Trying to be "normal" at your first job after almost 30 years of being a complete antisocial retard was hard. I had no stories of my own to tell my coworkers and I struggled to say anything interesting at all. In most group situations I was basically just completely quiet most of the time. I didn't want to be quiet, I just had no idea what to say most of the time. When you've been alone for as long as I had, normal conversation didn't come naturally anymore and you had no library of life experience to rely on.

I knew they thought I was weird but they were all fairly chill people so it was fine.

That first year at my new job did a lot to "rehabilitate" me as a person. I barely played videogames anymore, I had lost 40 pounds and was actually in good shape for the first time in my entire life. Being around normal people had grown my social skills as well and eventually I felt comfortable having conversations with people (though I was still far too quiet for my own liking).

I eventually moved on to another, better job after that first one and decided I would do my best to break my own mold, get a fresh start and talk to people as much as possible at this new place.

It actually worked really well and I feel like I managed to come across as fairly normal and charming... I still didn't have many stories to share, though. When my coworkers talked about their time in college or when they went to some cool vacation or ate out at a great restaurant I couldn't really connect with any of my own experiences because my entire life had been "sitting in front of a computer". That part still sucks. Sometimes I make up lies about my past, like Yeah I've totally been to Europe a couple of times and I totally have been in relationships FOR SURE.

Now I'm 30 years old... I still have no friends (how the hell do you make friends at this age???) finally feel (relatively) comfortable with myself and very recently started dating. The first date didn't go too well. It wasn't a disaster we just didn't click. I went on a second date and we hit it off really drat well. It was actually shocking to me how easy it was to spend time with this girl.

So the big day comes when we're at her place and we're making out in her sofa and I'm hard as a rock and I just want to gently caress her but at the same time there's a voice in my head screaming "YOURE GONNA SCREW IT UP, YOURE A drat VIRGIN". Lots of conflicting emotions. We eventaully get naked and I go down on her and everything is fine and then she's about to suck my dick, but

BUT


Thing is, and this is the worst thing in the whole loving world after having been alone and a virgin for 30 years: I couldn't get hard. Like, my dick completely betrayed me. There was a naked woman sucking on my dick and I COULDN'T GET HARD. Holy poo poo. :psyduck:

gently caress you, world

We're gonna keep trying and despite my DICK NOT WORKING ANYMORE I still feel profoundly happy that I'm finally with another person. Just chilling in bed with her and making out and touching each other has been literally the best experience in my life. It's insane that I've been without this kind of intimacy my whole life. If I could go back in time I'd beat the poo poo out myself for being so loving stupid

It's not natural for a person to be alone for 30 years. That poo poo will scar you in so many ways. I'm glad I never became so bitter and gross like those Incel or MRA guys. I've never agreed with their psycho theories. I can only conclude that the kind of loneliness virgins like us experience will drive some people insane. It's fun to laugh at them but since I know how it is there's a part of me that also empathize with them. Not their "community" or whatever but I know that behind all that anonymous idiotic posturing there are guys who are just utterly broken inside. That poo poo sucks.

Tbh, some nights I break down and just cry when the full realization washes over me, of how I've wasted most of my life. It's better now and I basically live the life of a normal person now, but I'll never get those previous 30 years back. I had to claw my way back into society and basically rebuild myself over the course of several years before I could feel even remotely normal and happy again.

This is a warning to those goons out there who are living a similar life as my old self, and I know there are many on the forums. Don't let a computer become your entire life. No matter how hosed your life is right now there are ways out of it, ways to get a better and more dignified life. Please start fighting to find those ways. Don't wait for as long as I did

I'm glad to hear you're turning poo poo around and I hope you continue to devote yourself to actually experiencing life. It's really easy for people to just fall into routines and let a shitload of time just kind of blow past you, and it happens more often than you'd think.

As for your romance adventures: I'm pretty sure your dick didn't betray you and isn't broken etc etc, you just moved really fast into physical intimacy. I can understand being impatient after making it to 30 without any, but there's a reason most people ease into that stuff when they're teens. You were anxious. Anxiety is a boner-killer. That voice in your head was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Basically just try and take it slow from here on out, R E L A X, make sure you are completely comfortable every step of the way, focus on your breathing, and oh yeah, maybe get therapy.

Anyway here's a shorter fesh

quote:

So, dual question and confession borne out of pure curiosity; I'm a 29 year old female, lesbian, and often wonder if I'm the only girl who gets off watching camgirls, because all the confessions I see are men talking about them.

I tend to use sites where I can search per national origin, because I kinda worry about non US/UK/CA girls being exploited more easily, and I never even remotely understand how people fall in love with them; they provide a service from the safety of their homes for money, and they seem pretty chill doing it, but I realize they feel gently caress all for their clients. I was just curious if any other women watched them when they masturbate, Tbh. That's about it!

I'm not a lesbian and don't watch camgirls, but I imagine this is one of those things where the appeal for most people comes from some kind of sexual-politics thing that most lesbians aren't as subject to. That's mostly a guess, though -- you do you of course

When I started looking into it a lot of articles hide the risk of kidney failure or that it was one of those fast trend diets where you lose a lot of weight in a short time. For those that don't know the goal of that diet is to eliminate carbs so your body uses fat as your primary energy source, which is debatable whether this is healthy or true.

Also stuff like managing epilepsy, diabetes, acne, floppy penis, etc.
