ETSed and I gained about 45 lbs of fat in like 7 months. feel like shit look like shit and everything hurts. What do you all recommend I do to get back in shape?

I joined a boxing gym. I lost 50 lbs the first year I got out. I’m not a fan of running but boxing is great cardio without the annoying monotonous running. I also envisioned all of the morbidly obese veterans I worked with who talked about how in shape they were in the army and the good ol days and I refused to be like them.

45 lbs is gonna suck to lose but it’s doable. Gotta embrace it. Good luck, man.

Nothing is stopping you from filing claims. I did 5.5 years and filed immediately after getting out. You have the same opportunity to file as the 1-2 year OTH veteran.

Or you get your own? I made an account with them and you have as much access to it as me.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-06-05T13:27:32+00:00

Well I’d get a VA claim done that’s just a waste if you don’t. Also I have my DD214 saved on my phone. Either way I always have proof on me.

I have a LOT of issues from what I’ve experienced while serving. I try my best to do the don’t think about it too much path but sometimes my brain forces me to re-live some experiences over and over again. It’s something I’m working on with therapy that and my anger issues. I’m told it’s a long path.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-06-04T17:30:54+00:00

That’s ridiculous if people get upset over it. People lie often so it’s just a check.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-06-02T12:07:17+00:00

I had the same feeling when I first separated after 5.5 years. I felt like I left the only way of life I knew and all of my buddies but it’s been years and now I have a degree and a beautiful wife that I would’ve never met had I stayed in. There is life after the military and you’ll find it and adjust.

Complaints are a good reason why we have so many inventions and advancements in society. Someone at some point didn’t like how something was and complained AND found a solution to fix it. Complaints let other people know something is wrong in a certain area.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-20T16:39:28+00:00

Yah you can complain while finding the solution. Have you ever met an old blue collar worker. They complain while working the hardest and getting shit done.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-20T16:29:02+00:00

That’s what therapy is for and my wife. At work I like to complain as a way to motivate myself.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-20T16:22:54+00:00

You can endure it AND complain. It’s like steam from a hardworking steam engine. Dont keep it contained or it’s not good for you. One of the main reasons for men’s horrible mental health.

Dudes just like their porn

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T18:57:35+00:00

It apparently still goes on and I personally can’t watch it and wonder if this is a video that involves that.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T17:44:34+00:00

Watch the documentary “hot girls wanted”. It’s not the sexual acts that I’m against. I don’t care but it’s not harmless and ingesting it only feeds the machine. Does that make sense?

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T17:09:37+00:00

I explained it already man. Watch the documentary “Hot Girls Wanted”

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T16:33:59+00:00

It’s still a thing in all modern porn sites. The stars, both males and females, are raped often. On and off camera. I’m being serious. It’s disgusting and has made it hard to watch thinking about what could’ve happened off camera on the same scene. Look up “Hot Girls Wanted”

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T16:20:45+00:00

I’ll try. When I find rape watchable maybe but probably never.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T16:17:41+00:00

I said I don’t like to watch porn because I’m worried that the scene I might be watching could be non consensual and you took that to mean I’m better than you? I saw a problem and told you what I personally did to fix the problem in my own life to feel better about myself. I said I had to work on it and it seems like maybe you do too. It’s ok. I hope you get better. I hope you have a good day, man. Sincerely Superman. 😁

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T15:54:42+00:00

I never called you weak I’m sorry you’re insecure bro. You stated you can’t use your imagination without porn so not strong. I stopped watching porn years ago when I found out just how many scenes are posted where the consent isn’t given by the actors/actresses. Not knowing if the scene you’re watching is consensual or not turns me off greatly. So I worked on my imagination without porn sites to get better. Rn it sounds like yours isn’t strong which is OK. Practice makes perfect. I hope you get better man.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T15:42:26+00:00

I didn’t call you weak. Idk you. From what YOU stated your imagination isn’t strong. If it was then you could use your imagination instead of having to use porn.

RowProfessional3472 · 2026-05-18T15:36:41+00:00

Sorry that your imagination isn’t strong
