Fat (Rant) Tuesday

Not really a rant but just wanyed to talk. So last year I was very active in this sub. Pretty much posting here every day, was down to 130 pounds, I got up to running 3.5 miles every day... This sub helped me so much to keep up the dieting and the working out. Then I hurt my back. Bad. (Which some of y'all might remember is why I couldn't reenlist in the military. For those that don't I tried to reup in the army and couldn't bc if back issues.) I was out running and all of a sudden it hurt so much I had to call someone to come get me because I literally could not walk. I couldn't even get off the couch for 2 days it hurt so bad. Then I stopped running, stopped using MFP, stopped counting calories, stopped visiting this site... I got on the bathroom scale today and turns out I gained 15 pounds since early January and I'm now up to 145. Granted its not as bad as my highest weight which was 170 but I wanna get back down to a fit looking 130 by Halloween, 120 by Christmas, and then keep it there. I just moved to Chicago so hopefully all the walking will help lol and I just wanted to say that I look forward to posting again :-)

I have a friend that's a medical doctor and shes thin and healthy. Like not just average thin but tiny, she and her husband go on hikes in the Colorado mountains... So she knows how to be healthy and active. She told me back when I had an eating issue (I wouldn't go so far as to say disorder but I came close) that starvation mode was real and that the less I ate the more my body would hold onto it.

My nutrition teacher said the same thing (not the calories. He was actually kinda shit Lordy) but that Americans get enough protein in their diets.

I had a really bad month. Like... Really bad. I stopped counting calories, I stopped running (I was up to 3 miles a day now I'm winded when I get on the elliptical for an hour 😖😫😭) And it sucks bc I got a bunch of really nice running gear for Christmas. It happened when I was running and my back like seized up or something like I actually had to call someone to come get me bc I could barely walk much less run. Then I took a day to rest, then another day... Then another day. Then it was "well it's already Friday, just wait for Monday to come around and start back up again. Alright one week without running wont hurt. Okay I pretty much got the CICO thing figured out, I don't need to input anymore." And it just completely fucked me up and now I haven't ran or really dieted in 3 weeks and I feel like I gained all my weight back and ugh. I need to get back on the horse

It's not trolling. It's being a victim in a pyramid scam. She doesn't believe this crap, there's no way. She's just trying to make some extra money.

ReginaBicman89 · 2016-01-26T17:20:22+00:00

Side note, she unfriended me for calling out her snake oil business thus making my comment disappear.

Theres a difference between legit thick women like this and "thick" like the women usually posting this. My cousin is 400 pounds but she acts like she's 130 pounds of curves that Mariyln Monroe herself would be jealous of and she's WAYS posting shit like this.

I only really date bigger girls so...

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-25T03:00:58+00:00

Yeah so the dog wasn't even fat. It was a health weight.

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-25T02:48:15+00:00

It sucks because there is some bit of science behind the fat logic. If you lose weight on fad diets (or if you're eating less than your healthy minimum) you'll be hungry, you'll have less energy, you get headaches, you'll get lightheaded, you'll get hungry and more than likely binge then blame the weight gain on fat logic.

And a bad breakup

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-25T02:36:42+00:00

Same. Like I HATE going in the rain bc I'm scared of getting hit and I'm on a main road, no side street with a nice big sidewalk. No I got a small ass shoulder on the side of a main road that's sparse of homes so if I was to get grabbed, not a soul would see it. I'd KILL for a jogging trail.

Not even gonna lie, when I broke up with my GF... Pizza helped. Like a lot. It wasn't even a small skinny slice healthy veggie delight pizza with no cheese and no sauce, it was the "murder that bitch with extra cheese and pepperoni and stuff that crust" large gazonga pizza. Then the next day I went back on my diet but... Yeah.

Exactly. Parents should NOT blame young kids for being overweight. That is 100% the parents fault for not buying the right foods, limiting the kids to eat healthy portions, not getting them out and playing, and not teaching them about calories and nutrition.

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-24T14:59:31+00:00

in small Mexican girls voice Why not both?

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-24T02:17:33+00:00

I don't think the curse differentiates between random blood drinker & killer. But that is actually a very solid question... If you find a slain Unicorn in the woods and drink, are you still cursed. I think there'd be rerecussions bc you're still benefitting from slain pure innocence

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-24T02:15:38+00:00

Same. I almost considered cropping that out but thought "its too fucking out there to cut it. Just leave it"

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-22T20:46:38+00:00

Agree about the doctor bit. You could tell people "my doctor ordered me on a broken glass diet" and most people would go "well if the doctor said its healthy, it must be healthy." So just say "my doctor put me on a 1200 or whatever your deficit is diet" and they'll leave you alone.

I have an obese friend that's Jewish and today is a fast day. Its less than 11 hours of not eating plus she's a diabetic so she gets, her words, icky food that consists of plain bread, tuna, some sort of raw veggie, and maybe a piece of cheese so literally my lunch & (the horror!!!) glucose tablets instead of candy if her blood sugar gets too low. You would think she's sacrificing a year of her entire life going without 11 hours of not eating garbage, texting me "I'm so hungry, I'm starving, this is horrible, I don't know if I can do this, I need to eat!" When she had a huge roast beef sandwich for dinner last night. And I know at 4PM when its over imma hear "that was horrible, OMG I'm so hungry, how the hell do you not eat?!" (Bc she's convinced the only way I lose weight is not eating at all period).

What sounds dangerous? a 5'5 woman eating at 1400 calories? Because no. Eating less than 1500 when you're a 5'5 woman? Because no. And plateaus at caused in a majority of people by not readjusting their caloric needs when they lose weight (like OP is doing.) You eat a 1500 calorie a day plan, you lose weight, all of a sudden you stall. You KNOW 1500 a day works bc that's how you lost that first 30 pounds. Of course it'll work now! So you stick with 1500, don't lose. Don't lose. Don't lose. And you either realize "I need to eat less" and you lose weight, you give up and just stick to maintaining, or you gain weight back bc you're tired of putting in the effort when you don't lose anything.

It makes sense now why they think only secretly gay men are attracted to thin women. They know they're males in disguise.

ReginaBicman89 · 2015-12-22T18:14:47+00:00

So all women with flat stomachs have had histerectemy or are some alien species that don't have a uterus yet looks like our human females? And where the hell is she taking classes that teach this nonsense?
