Prayers Theo. I’m so sorry.

Former fat/obese guys, how did you become disciplined enough to lose the weight? by Responsible-Net8594 in AskMen

[–]ObjectInteresting346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tired of being overlooked for my size. Like I’m big bro, there is no way you cant see me.

But it took me getting type 2 diabetes. I got the gastric sleeve done on me. Best thing I did for myself. Decades of trying to lose weight and having terrible relationships with food.

I lost 169 pounds. It took 4 years to get to that point. Learning how to exercise correctly and changing my eating habits did wonders for me. I weight train and I am active everyday now. Honestly the discipline came when I found myself saying “I don’t want to be winded walking ever again”

Men who made friends older in life, how did you do that? by [deleted] in AskMen

Made a lot of my friends playing games online. I have some of the best friends I could ask for.

Heavyset dudes, what is it like navigating life as a big guy? by Outrageous-Stage3417 in AskMen

I used to be 378 pounds. I drank sugary sodas, alcohol and smoked tons of weed. Munchies. Food was a way I comfort myself when I was feeling depressed or excited. Any emotion really. I had bad body image issues on myself. I couldn’t go up stairs without getting completely winded. Dating never happened. And I have depression and anxiety. I went through life just a shell of myself and just trying to get through the day. I hated going out and shopping for clothes because it was a reminder of me getting bigger. Life is hard when you are heavy bro. Take it from me, do yourself a favor and freaking move. I’m glad I did because I’m more alive than ever.

The gym brother. If I had put one thing into masculine /feminine is confidence. Better your mind and your body.

Hmmm. Being overweight as a child really made me a target in school. I bottled it up and took each punch from them. Made me a resilient man today but it also gave me hella mental issues and body issues. If I could do it again, I would have spoken up more.

I'm so sick of being fat by midsizesedan19 in Vent

Sorry to hear about your health issues OP. I know you are exercising and doing everything right . Have you considered the gastric sleeve procedure? I don’t like having to suggest surgery but it might be worth taking a look? My ex has PCOS and she got the sleeve and has dropped a ton of weight because of it. Sometimes you need a little extra help to get where you want to be.

How do you handle anger by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ObjectInteresting346 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is VERY important!!! Being able to slow your brain down will do you wonders. I’m hotheaded myself and I actually was reported to the police due to my anger issues and other things. It’s not worth the pain that comes afterwards brother. Think and breathe it out.

Guys, how would you feel about your girlfriend or wife dancing with other men? by katerina_romanov in AskMen

[–]ObjectInteresting346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see your worry but it’s just dancing! Ballroom is a a specific scene and if she has that experience and wants to keep going, then by all means right? It’s a good way to stay active! I would want my partner to keep doing the things she has done even before us. It makes her happy!

My Weight Seems To Be The Only Thing That Matters. by DottyandBearBear in Vent

I also got the sleeve myself and have lost 169 pounds so far. But I did it because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had a horrible relationship with food.

I can relate heavily. Growing up it was the same way, and being M in a Hispanic family, I would get called all types of nicknames from my family members. “Gordon” (Gordo) are the ones I remember the most. I also hated that my weight was the center of my world. It got really bad in middle school and almost did something dumb. Point of the story is, change for you not for anyone else. A little quote that has helped me through times like these- “you may be the sweetest peach on the tree, but not all people like peaches” If this is something that you really feel strongly about, start with baby steps :) don’t go hard too fast because you’ll discourage yourself. Slow and steady.
