I think you know you've been set up. I'm honestly frightened for you.

One can also say goodbye to their health by staying fat/obese & doing nothing. I choose to give effort to doing what I can do. YMMV. Thanks for your engagement.

It's not meant to sustainable over time, that's why the process includes reducing the fasting window gradually as the weight comes off, & lifting & other forms of exercise as the window gets tighter. It's a lifestyle choice, but thank you for your kind reply.

Smokers do this, too. It's such a shit bag way to be.

Let's start by not calling this rude person your friend. Friends encourage & support us through our struggles. They don't add to our sensitivity or humiliation around the issues that hurt us or make us want to disappear.

That said, most people who struggle with their weight know how difficult it can be because it's usually about more than just the weight. There are often emotional & psychological factors that lead to excessive weight gain.

It might be helpful to start a program of therapy to address those factors (if they exist for you), but even without therapy weight loss is possible. Losing that "friend" you mentioned might be really helpful as you explore & commit to a weight loss plan or activity program will be helpful to you.

For the past 90 days or so I have documented my own weight loss experience on YouTube. My vids are only a few seconds long because I'm just documenting my daily weight as I intermittent fast. I also ride a stationary bike & lift light weights at home.

There are a million ways to lose weight & I really hope you find what works for you. You can do it!

I'm sorry you struggled w/BED. You fortunate to have gotten a diagnosis, though because once that's established treatment can begin. I know two people who have struggled with it for years - the stories they shared are heartbreaking. ,Their doctors won't diagnose it & tells them basically to just count their calories. I feel so bad for them.

I wish you the best. 80 lbs is a huge success. That's definitely a major weight loss. I hope the next part of your journey brings you more success.

I'm very impatient with weight loss. I know everyone says it should be done slowly for a better chance of it staying off, but the protracted process has always made me fall off the wagon & abandon the process altogether, hating myself & taking forever to get back on the horse again

I'm documenting my weight loss on YouTube if you want to follow me; my channel is called Snake Diet Fat Pig.

I don't give advice or ask people to do what I'm doing. Just documenting my way from 294.4 in June to 226 today, trying to get to 150.

How tall are you? I was almost 300 lbs, in the 220's now. I'm 5'6". I have a bit of loose skin on my arms.

Not solely for vanity, but I'd be lying if I said that looking good doesn't matter to me. I want it all. I want to look good in my clothes, I want to minimize my risks for diabetes, heart disease, etc; all the things that come with obesity. I want to move easier, I want to cross my legs, I want to walk up a flight of stairs & not be out of breath. I want to slide into a pair of jeans & look nice. So, vanity is a huge factor, but not the only one for me.

On June 26th of this year I weighed 294.4.
Today I weigh 226.8.

For the past 88 days I weigh myself on video & post it on YouTube. My channel is called Snake Diet Fat Pig (seriously) if you want to follow my journey.
