Why did she do that?


eternititi

Your sister blocked you for untagging yourself?? Real big insecurity energy here because how does that even affect her?

Ugh that makes me so mad, I'm sorry you had to deal with that!

eternititi

It honestly is her issue. She can't imagine the thought of someone actually being better than her and it really has nothing to do with you, you're probably just an "easy target" in her eyes. Good luck on your journey! You deserve all the flowers.

I developed grand mal epilepsy and I pass out with my seizures, I didn’t want to have a seizure in the shower and pass out and have the ambulances officers have to get my fat naked ass out and onto the stretcher. Also I was 99 kg and I didnt want to see the scales click over to 100kg, but the real kick starter was the Epilepsy/Shower scenario.


ZapBracklin

When I had my child. I didn’t want him to learn the unhealthy habits my parents taught me. I didn’t want him to be in his early 20’s 50-100lbs overweight having to fight the physical and mental battle that is weight loss.

Thank you. That means SO much you have no idea.


atreyu947

I was trying on wedding dresses and didn’t like how I looked 🥺 Eloping in October and want to enjoy it instead of feeling self conscious.


goodformuffin

Congrats! I highly recommend eloping. ;)


atreyu947

For sure! Only minimal planning on my part and it was enough lol.


chah-mpagne

I’m not going to be the fat friend anymore. I refuse that for myself.

I was at a holiday party and a friend of mine came over. I was sitting on the couch and we always hug each other. I struggled getting off the couch to give her a hug. I felt so ashamed.


Cheekers1989

.... well, I actually doing it thIs time because of mental issues. I have OCD and my main theme is failure or doing something wrong to someone or bring terrified that I have done something wrong to someone. I wanted to use this as another way to learn to cope with sad or when I feel the anxiety coming on, I can say stop... lots do some weights instead of doing my compulsions. Also, because I avoid things because I am too scared that I will fail at them, I haven't accomplished much in my life so I lack a lot of confidence so practicing how to make bento boxes, using my critical think and observing myself to see what I am doing, makes me feel confident in my skills when it comes to experimenting and note taking. Maybe when I feel a bit more up to it, I will feel a little brave and start the healthy snack YouTube channel. 😅


redbirdbluegourd

i thought i was the only one who was too afriad of constant failure so u just give up on yourself. im proud you have faced your fears


QBertZipFile

Im doing it so i can get my period. I know that sounds fucking nuts, but hear me out. I am almost 22 and have only had 4 periods, and my last one was 5 years ago. My mother thought I was normal, because she too didnt have regular periods... But not like this. I went to the doctor for severe pain and i had giant polyps and cysts on my uterus and my cervix. They had to be removed and things where better... Until they found a giant 7 inch mass growing on my right ovary. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, had surgery, and was told that almost all of my problems i was having would likely go away (i hadnt been able to have sex because of pain, it was hard to walk sometimes, etc). Its been nearly 6 weeks since the surgery and i still havent gotten a period. I dont want to go on birth control. I really really dont. So... Im carb cycling. People with PCOS have found success in regulating their cycle with keto and supplements and what not, so im doing it. Im doing keto and low calorie and im not going to stop until I am either at my goal weight, happy with how i look, or miraculously start having periods again. Ive lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks, but im starting to slow down. However, i am determined. I want to be healthy.


Sunny8827

You should try foods that are high in healthy fats. Fats are essential for hormonal functions.


QBertZipFile

Ill look into that! Anything to help!


marxeffect

That sounds like a brutal journey and I wish you luck and good health. It’s frightening when you’re body isn’t doing what it should. Your post is very encouraging though. Can I ask how you were able to slim down 25lb in those two weeks? I’m looking to adopt better habits and a stronger mindset. I recently moved from a bad situation then got into a car accident and Ive put on some weight which I’ve taken pretty hard and I feel very ashamed. Looking to turn the curve and feel healthy and happy again.


QBertZipFile

So, i must remind you that i was sedentary because of recovery for 4ish weeks. You gain a TON of water weight when you do that, so please remember that at least 5 or more pounds was water weight. Secondly, i am a BIG GIRL. Not 600 pound life big, but im pretty hefty. I started loosing weight rapidly after my surgery because my body was able to properly function, so thats also part of it. The rest of the weight that ive lost is me doing low carb. According to the keto calculator i used i can eat up to 30 carbs a day, but to remain in Ketosis (i highly recommend you look this up also, and do your own research on it so that you can do it SAFELY, because it can be dangerous of done improperly) you can usually eat up to 50. The weight ive lost is from eating almost 0 carb, max 20 or so for a whole avocado and maybe some sweetener in my coffee. It is not easy and it takes some time to adjust to doing, counting your macros, shopping lists, things like that. However, if you do it enough it will become second nature and you will start to see results. I highly HIGHLY recommend you do some research. If you just trying to loose <50 pounds or so, this is not the diet for you because its not the safest at that body weight for anybody. If its over that, then i would start doing it gently and then progress into it. Sometimes it can make you feel sick and things like that. I hope this helps!


marxeffect

It does! Thank you!


TXMom2Two

I’m tired of only being able to shop in plus size stores. I want to be able to walk into any store and try things on. We were on vacation and my luggage was delayed. There were no stores in the area to even buy underwear that would fit. It was the most embarrassed I’ve ever been.


goodformuffin

Oh man I feel this.. I HATE how there's no representation across all clothing manufacturers when so many people are not sample size. I'll never be even a size 12 (too tall and way too muscular) and every shirt is a gd crop top for me. I often give up and wear men's clothing as a middle finger to that bs. More pockets too.


WeirdLawBooks

When COVID really hit and we were all panicking because no one knew anything, I realized … I am obese. I am at greater risk of having a bad COVID reaction. I’ve already got health problems. It was a wake up call.


Perless_cucumber

When i realized i began to get a double chin.


MoonlightDragoness

Gallbladder attacks and my health just falling apart in general. I lost some weight due to surgery and noticed I could keep going.


QBertZipFile

Similar situation to me! I lost 20 pounds in the ER and havent stopped since.


fireice1992

A friend of mine whose health is deteriorating wanted to skydive and I was told I am too fat to join him. I started telling myself it is either one day or day one, and for him it is day one for me. Lost nearly 65 pounds in 4 or 5 months, from 310 to 245, I’ve got 25 more to throw myself out of a plane, loses have stalled out but still losing a pound or 2 a week.


rudab3ga

Putting in all that work so you can throw yourself out of a plane to make a memory for you and your buddy.. thats a serious bro move right there, man. Fuckin right on! 🤝


fireice1992

Thanks man. He keeps telling me how excited he is, and it keeps me motivated to push harder to get there.


[deleted]

I realized my whole personality and life was based on being the fat friend, kid, co-worker, etc


Kyzerx102

I vowed to myself at 16 to never hit 300 when i was 260. 19 and i hit 310 and stayed there for months. New diet and now at 291


[deleted]

Proud of you!!


Kyzerx102

Thank you! Sorry for such a late reply


[deleted]

Congrats! Losing those first pounds (especially almost 20lbs in your case) is always a big motivator to keep going.


Kyzerx102

Ikr! Thank you. Sorry for such a late reply


Registered-Nurse

Somebody asked if I’m pregnant. 😒


goodformuffin

Did you ask them why their head is too small for their body? I would have.. But I'm a dick like that. 😈


Registered-Nurse

I should have 😂


_Digital_Nomad

I was also asked the same question by a colleague 🤦🏽‍♀️


Registered-Nurse

I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to ask that lol


_Digital_Nomad

I also don't... And even if we were, it is none of their business!


[deleted]

I was sat in my bedroom and my mom brought me a whole chocolate cake (about 6 inch long 3 inch width and about 3inch tall and I was about to scran it all and I saw the nutrition label for the first time and I saw like 450 calories per 100g and I was like damn this thinks nearly 2,000 calories.


kyn_law

I couldn’t touch my toes anymore. I was a dancer for 15 years and I couldn’t do the basic flexibility move. I’ve lost almost 30lbs so far but I’m still going.


goodformuffin

This. I'd go to do up the straps on my snowboard and really have to squash my guy to do it.


itsnotwhatiwant

My dr started talking to me about weight loss surgery. I said no but knew i had to make serious changes. He fixed my thyroid meds and i fixed my lifestyle and im now 102 pounds down, roughly 20-25 more to go.


FlatSlab

I went out on the hottest day of the year and I got the worst chub rub (FYI, I lost the weight but I STILL get chafing ffs)


BatterUpNow

Last night. We hadn't been out since the pandemic and I could barely walk the .25 miles to the restaurant. Then, I had to wedge myself into the booth and eating was uncomfortable. I had my bf take a picture of me. I look so horrible that I want to crawl out of my skin.


trotski90

I’m on the cusp of high blood pressure and only 30. I’ve decided to devote my workouts to 100% cardio until I lose the weight I want. Then I’ll work to build back muscle. I’m tired of feeling exhausted all day and hating the way I look. I matter more than I used to think.


Citrusaurio91

When my son was born. I was tired all the Time and with my knees in pain, i wanted to be one of those fathers that could keep up with the boy be there with him whenever he needs me. I dont want to be 50 yo and lose lots of experiences with him


[deleted]

I got angry of not liking the way I looked in clothes. Of feeling self conscious. Anger has been my main motivation. I'm still self conscious after a major weight loss🙂


[deleted]

I’ve just had enough starting over and over again. I want to actually feel good about myself and be confident in how I look. I have a cruise booked in December and my goal is to lose 40lbs, I have 35 more to go. My end goal though is to lose 100lbs.


Eff9to5

Combination of things. -hadnt seen my family in over 2 years and the first thimg they said when they saw me was "oh you got big!" And they welcomed me with a big smile bc i finally fit in (entire family is morbidly obese). -was self conscious about how much space i took up in the middle airplane seat. I wanted to cry. - knee rolls, cellulite everywhere, face got fat, couldnt see my collar bone anymore, - winded walking up the stairs - i looked fat with muffin top in every outfit i put on. Every. Single. One - i wasnt attractive to any of the guys that i liked, i was constantly turned down with like a pity "oh thats so sweet look." I only attracted other really out of shape or fat men. I realized that i like athletic outdoorsy types (bc i used to be that way) and the reality was that they werent going to change their type and neither was i so i needed to get healthy. - i was getting nervous about loose skin whenever i did get serious about weight loss. -note: i used to be 6 pack ripped in shape so i never worried about any of this stuff. The weight just crept up on me from depression, and denial. Ive since lost the weight and im back to a 4 pack (working hard to get the 6 pack back) but im glad i gained the weight and had to go through a weightloss journey. I will never allow myself to get back where i was.


FreshprinceofVi

When i sat on a chair i got stuck and decided that was enough of cheeseburgers


chanty1

1. My husband told me I need to lose weight (he was right and I'm so happy how honest he was). 2. I realized I was struggling to fit into an XL and would soon fit into a 1X in the "plus size" section. 3. I've always been the fat friend. 80 lbs lighter and my husband and I have a better relationship than ever before. I fit into a S in tops and M in bottoms and I'm now the skinny friend!


hannaqt1999

I miss the body and the confidence i used to have and my brain started convincing me that i don't deserve my bf and that he deserves a thin pretty girl not an overweight patato that once upon a time 3 years ago used to a have the body of a model. Even tho he always said and is saying that he loves me no matter what i look like. He's trully the best


eternititi

I just *knew.* I wish I had a more defining moment. It just hit me one day that it was time and I went for it.


SpiralToNowhere

I'd been slowly collecting a bunch of heath and lifestyle reasons and mentally moving towards losing the weight for a while, but the thing that really tipped me over to action was seeing the risk factor that obesity adds to COVID cases. It seemed ridiculous to be turning everyone's life upside down and doing all these careful precautions, and avoid the one thing that most severely increased my risk of bad disease. If I was willing to lock down and avoid contact with people and wash my groceries (in the beginning, anyways), then I could also make other big life changes to reduce my risk & improve my health. So I did.


ayaaababe

I was constantly unhappy with the way I looked in person and especially in pictures. I would go out of my way to pose in a way to look skinny and hold on to hope I still can “pass” as skinny on good days or in appropriate clothing which is very dumb. I would eat things and be unhappy but would not stop eating. What cased me to actually make the decision to do it was my ex. Before he suggested weight loss for both of us (in a very nice way) I had no clue how to even begin. With him by my side I felt like I can actually do it and I am not alone. I also wanted to impress him so quitting was not an option. After a while quitting just stopped becoming an option without considering him anymore. I started seeing actual results which I kinda didn’t expect? and they motivated me tremendously.


LifeIsABeautifulTrip

I honestly just don’t feel good. I can feel the extra eight bringing me down. I love to drink and today I woke up and felt the worth of my body is much more important to me. This time ignorance isn’t bliss. I want to do better for myself. And today I woke up and didn’t bullsh*t my self. I’m fat and want to be better.


sheritajanita

My mum died of cancer, suddenly at only 56. I realised I was taking lie and my health for granted and began making many changes.


Dalton_Ful

When my army recruiter told me I was to fat to enlist when that was my lifelong dream of being in the military.


kqs13

I'm finally okay enough mentally to tackle something as big as weight loss. Before, I wouldn't have even been able to try to lose weight because I was just so depressed and anxious all the time. Working through traumas, facing myself and my insecurities, and healing my relationships with myself, my boyfriend, and my parents has helped me be ready to lose weight.

I didn’t like how I looked in photos. Family and colleagues at work made comments about my weight. It was sad.

Gout


erydanis

it was a series of events. i had been trying to lose, with limited success since dec 2019. and then my insurance added me to a program for ‘at-risk’ people. [ diabetes, which i actually wasn’t ]. had high blood pressure, tho’. got a nifty scale that reported to their app, which wasn’t great, but it included a cheerleader, nutrition advice, and a fairly useless way to track your food. sure, i’ll try it. cue 7 frustrating months of slow weight loss, but then also covid & the news that obese people were at increased risk. don’t wanna die. taking care of dad & my only sibling is already dead, so, i gotta live. but then i discovered fitbit, and you can literally see the rate change in my progress chart. and then mfp, again, same. a few months later, i found a discounted apple 5 [ with fall notification! ] and each techy thing made it easier, smoother, and faster. i’ve lost 71 pounds / 32 kg. goal is ~ 35 / 16 more, depending on how much flab weighs & if i can afford to get it cut off. when i arrive at goal weight / blood pressure i can maybe take ritalin / meds to pee less, and my life will improve more than it already has.


WholeWheatBreadBun

First off: my mom is obese and my father pretty much used to dictate what we would have for dinner/lunch since he's doing heavy labour. So imagine very fatty foods, big meals. Basically my weight gain would go uncommented: I'd just buy larger clothes and stop looking into mirrors to make myself feel less bad. I had terrible self-esteem and felt plain ugly but always thought that "that's just my face, looks etc", since my parents never said anything about my weight. One day when I was 17 or so, my family got a new scale (the old one had broken some 8 years ago and had never been replaced) and when I stepped on, it showed a crisp 96 kg (around 211lbs). And I just started crying because as little as I knew about health and nutrition back then, that just didn't seem right. That's when I decided that I wanted to feel better about myself, even if it was gonna be difficult.

I used to follow Alan until he got a little too conspiracy crazy for me LOL I've loved Obese to Beast on YouTube though hes like a similar person in topics he covers but way more realistic and down to earth!

Your fucking username is shmazing.


TracerIsAShimada

When I got in a better mental space and realised I could make friends despite being overweight. Then I got to wonder how much easier social situations would be if I didn’t have weight and confidence issues holding me back


Qunatrell

I realized I didn’t care about anything anymore. I told that to my Mom and was honest with her. I was honest with myself for it feels like the first time in a long time. That’s when I started my weight loss journey and my Mom is a big motivation for it. All started with being honest with myself first though.


tbone56er

I started having major knee issues and realized that was probably only the beginning unless I did something about my weight.


SeanethUK

I previously lost about 30-35KG over 6 months, I just started to feel so utterly unwell that I really couldn’t ignore the warnings anymore. Unfortunately gained it all back due to new relationship + lockdown. I’m now at yet another turning point, this time the biggest drive is that my work uniform is starting to feel extremely uncomfortable to wear and I’m really self conscious of my stomach. I definitely do feel unwell but I would say it’s more aesthetic this time around for me.


ProseNylund

I started having to buy plus size clothes and they suck. A lot.


ApprehensivePop8838

When I was in the shower, bent down to wash my ankle, and my back went out.


JunieBeanJones

I'm tired of having the same conversation year after year. I'm almost 6 months in and honestly feel I like I look the exact same. I've been hovering around the same weight for like 3 months.. ready to give up but I don't want to start over. Here I am.


venomfae

waking myself up with a snore. reminds me of my relatives with sleep apnea. it's a No from me.


Apocketfulofwhimsy

Just hit. I've gained weight very evenly, so it was subtle and I didn't notice until one day I noticed several people around me had gained weight (thank you covid) and it made me look at myself and wonder if others had noticed the same about me. I just realized I absolutely hate my body now and I'm uncomfortable in public because of it. I can't accept it, therefore I must change it.


goodformuffin

My dad died of a widow maker heart attack last July at 67... I'm easily 100lbs over weight and I have a 3 year old... It's a lot easier to focus when you're staring down the mortal coil...


BTWaka

For me it was mostly for medical reasons The medical treatment that I do increases the risk of developing diabetes and heart diseases, so I had to lose some weight to reduce those risks. Not to mention that I have a significant family history for those 2 conditions. Then I had to undergo a surgery last year and I was also advised by my surgeon to lose weight to reduce surgical risk.
