That basically just sold me on going to the Y. I should figure out where the nearest one is and what it costs for membership.

I used to be a 340 pound bloke. I had to eat 1600 calories a day to lose weight. When you're that heavy it can gently caress up your metabolism and the price you pay is that you might have to eat even less than an average person. All those weightlifting PRs I set I was eating 1800 calories a day. The other thing is you might not be measuring your food as accurately as you think (get a scale) and you may be eating without even realizing. It genuinely can take years to completely break yourself through to a healthier lifestyle and you shouldn't feel shame about false starts and missteps. If it were as easy as the words make it sound nobody would be overweight. It's good your seeing a therapist, and even if they're not a food specialist they may still be a good person for you to talk to about it, since it sound alone your weight definitely has emotional impact for you. Good luck friend

the food scale is great advice lots of resources for training and nutrition in YLLS if you didn't know. https://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=179 if you are ready to get serious about making some changes, you might consider posting a thread in TFLC to track your progress and get some moral support from goons. https://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=244  but mind OP's advice and don't dox yourself in there if you do decide to post a thread in TFLC, PM me and I'll come "motivate" you from time to time

And like, even if the rules are tighter now there's no way to stop drive-by shitheads and I don't think that's gonna be helpful to Ciaphas.

Personally, I’m taking the view it took me decades to get to be a fat sack, it’s going to take at least 5 years to see any lasting change.

front squat best squat. I'm lucky to have the room in the garage for a full free weight setup. I would advise that if you are taking any medications or are on HRT/blockers it might be a good idea to run any diet more exotic than "eat less" by your prescribing doctor first. unlikely as it might be you don't want to do funky poo poo to your kidneys or anything and as a bonus it can give you a bit of accountability.

That's exactly why it's a horrible place for someone with depression to post. You seem to have missed the point I was making in your rush to call out my struggles from my most depressed times.

Helianthus Annuus posted:amazed at Mr Nice's eidetic memory for drama in archived TFLC threads I'm internet famous because while I was super depressed I posted bad and in high volume trying to find anywhere to fit in, and all that poo poo got linked when I was doxxed. Most yllsers probably remember me because it was a really bad period where I posted bad.. I'm not fond of remembering it, which is why I don't post there or in PSP anymore because that's where I got picked on the most, but Ciaphas has articulated struggles with depression not dissimilar from my own and I don't want to see them have the same bad experience I had.

So just to be clear while it was messed up to bring it up, Mr Nice isn't a stalker, he just posted in the same places I did when I was at my worst.

and definitely not trying to dredge up poo poo and you have came quite a ways from then, but rather just saying that tflc isn't necessarily a bad place. you just had unique circumstances that made yours extra lovely. i totally get why you would warn someone from that. and yeah my memory is both a blessing and a curse. i won't recall what someone said to me five minutes ago, but the lyrics to scampi from weebl stuff will be burned in my psyche til the day i day.

OK, I forgive you. Wasn't trying to paint with a broad brush. It's just not a good dynamic for someone whose weight issues are rooted in depression.

In other tangential news to the yosqueer thread, it's been a couple weeks since I tried that tria laser thing on part of my legs and arms my hair never grows quick at the best of times but the patches i zapped are noticeably thinner than the parts i missed, so hooray for that. hopefully results continue to develop because trans or not, girl or not, shaved skin beats the hell out of my gross peachfuzz

You haven't known agony until you've had a registered nurse laser gently caress your face at max power.

Paxil is really notorious for it.

The laser can still burn you if you do something like try to make it work against unusually dark bits of skin like moles, but that is rare it usually halts itself
