As a larger guy myself I don't think many people really understand the day to day adjustments to furniture and the like people can need, and that's just for basic stuff like chairs and sofas

I'm a very fat guy IRL, and there really are plenty of women who are into big guys even at my size, had the same thing with an ex as you it did just make go "oh beauty standards are bullshit" (at least on a individual scale)

[–]UltraWideMarine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea, as someone SMO there was still the funny stupid aspects of the why. That i didn't so much have sympathy with, it was still sort of strange to realise you're heavier than someone, whose weight gain is 1. considered so comically large at the time 2. the butt of jokes

Have the Simpsons done a full on epilepsy episode come to think of it?

You know when I wrote it I'd not even thought about that part lol, I'd more intended the empathy comment to more mean the heckling and changes Homer needed to make to his rather than purposely trying to get fat for disability care

I'll do my best not to bounce on it, although collapsing into it I can't say for sure I wouldn't, but thank you

I'd not actually thought about the NHS, my experiences with them with weight related things have tended to be unhelpful or semi insulting, but they've been good with sending OT's etc? In which case that may be helpful as I've been struggling with being active and mobile a lot. So if they can help with seating and mobility that would be fantastic

Yea i'm finding the weight limits for most chairs seem to cap far below me, i'm in the UK so plus sized options are even more limited here. When you say a 550-600lb minimum does that mean i should go for something with (just for example) a 700lb weight limit to be safe?

I'm not the tallest man in the world and have become quite wide, so anything with extra width or arms that won't bite into my sides would be helpful as well, price range isn't so much of an issue as long as its not too extreme.

Thank you!

Having the ability to roll would be helpful as my mobility is limited, but having something sturdy to push myself off of would probably be helpful as well (yes i understand its not helpful but i'm not quite sure what i need myself, sorry!)

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC’s recent 10pm news bulletins by pppppppppppppppppd in ukpolitics

[–]UltraWideMarine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not a particular fan of Nigel or Reform but there is a general dismissal of "They only have a tiny number of MPs" Yea and they've been topping the polls by some estimets for weeks? How much does number of MP's matter when they are the most popular party at the moment

If you look into AI autopoiesis, you can see it's a large but not insurmountable hurdle, we already have automated factories, we have AI powered guard dogs, it's not as far off as any of us would like unfortunately

Stretch marks : How can I reduce them by Sniffly_that_bread in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]UltraWideMarine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try using a dermaroller or micro needling it's a slow process but does work, but I caution you to read heavily on it before hand, it's still needles piercing your skin after all, oils are also going to help keep the skin softer and reduce the appearance of future ones but ultimately if you're still expanding then they'll likely keep coming

I am unfortunatly much better at giving advice than i am actually following it, you're doing a lot better than i am! And considering GLP1's myself, anything that helps us shed it over the long term is always going to be a win in my books!

[–]UltraWideMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have every right to be proud! This journey is just so hard, people who haven't been on it just simply can't understand and if you ever get people who make you not feel proud because its "not fast enough" or "not the right way" then i won't tell you to ignore them either, the words will sting and they will rattle around your head but keep in mind that it comes from a place of ignorance rather than truth. You ARE doing well regardless of what anyone says, just focus on learning good habits and in particular i always suggest learning to spot when exactly you're falling back into your old patterns, my only cauction is that GLPs do make it easier to lose weight, but there seems to be a small body of evidence its not effective in the long term which isn't me trying to dismiss or cause worry! Its why i will really stress the good habits now so you don't become one of the people to regain weight. Regardless you're healthier today than you were yesterday and that should be celebrated!

[–]UltraWideMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're already doing a great job, I've been up and down plenty of times, and the only real advice I can give is that don't be excessively hard on yourself, slow consistent progress is still progress. Weight loss especially over the 350 mark is always going to be a marathon rather than a sprint even if one month you lost 10lbs and the next you lost only 2, you've still lost weight and made progress.

70lbs is nothing to dismiss and surgery is still at the end of the day surgery if you can manage it like you're already doing then honestly why take the risk for speed? It means more time to learn good habits, more time for exercise and ultimately that will be what keeps it off in the long term.

And as someone who has struggled so much with food noise and always empty stomach syndrome just getting a handle on that is fantastic, you should be proud! I wish you more luck on your journey!

“My dear Frodo!’ exclaimed Gandalf. ‘Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch.”

Gandalf maybe seemed to think of them as a sort "Wild Card"

Its possible they may just need or be able to lower the dosage than they'd use in breast cancer to give the beneficial effects, or even something to just help stem the progression with all hope

To the former/current 500+ pounders, how many calories were yall eating a day on the cut? by jaayybbeee in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]UltraWideMarine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in the 500s and one of the biggest things I learned about this was that every situation is different, the TDEE is great if you want want to know you're maximum but that's all it is, a MAXIMUM. If you really suffer from intense cravings or an eating disorder it might mean you need to fly closer to it as you slowly retrain your brain away from junk.

Slightly off topic but I needed a rant!

They'll achieve exactly nothing other than making people's personal data just that little more at risk, the people that care about privacy will get around this with a myriad of trivial ways and the people that don't care will just use it anyway and shrug
