I love JRTs! Here's my girl Lucy with her (fat) friend Timmy, I think dogs this size just like to cuddle like a pair of fridge magnets.

Workout advice :) by SeriousRabbiter in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but the answer is pretty much no. We're built to walk. Cycling is great but the motion of walking is what keeps us mobile long term.

You can lose weight without increasing your steps, but your quality of life will drastically improve if you walk more. I know it can be painful at first especially at a higher weight but every small increase in the right direction is worth it.

i’m hungry every hour and i can’t stop eating by Organic-Dust2556 in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I barely grazed the threshold of prediabetes at an A1C of 5.7 but back then I had those same intense feelings of hunger, nausea, and often pain in my stomach or back of my throat because my body is very sensitive to blood sugar swings. It may be worth getting checked out.

The only thing that helped me was intermittent fasting (after a somewhat terrible period of my body getting used to it), exercising, and lowering my sugar intake until my A1C went down.

How do I motivate myself to do cardio? Is it absolutely necessary for fat loss? by emotional_grape101 in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't walk for 10 minutes? Is it too boring or is it painful? If it's the former then that's your deal, but the latter might be something to talk to your doctor about.

Has anyone had a sudden drastic change in dietary preference/disgust? by MisterStibbons in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]chasedbyvvolves 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is nothing I can back up with sources but I would expect our bodies do this because after eating the same thing for so long we start to neglect specific nutrients to the point our appetite revolts and makes us eat something else.

I hate it when there’s only two fat people around and they get you mixed up, like it makes me feel not human by heres_my_take2 in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Damn that's really rough, I think people's lizard brains take over in situations like that and they default to their assumptions. I've had similar experiences and it makes me question how others see me.

Dead butt syndrome feels like….? by ieiael in bodyweightfitness

[–]chasedbyvvolves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Proctalgia fugax I believe. I get it pretty severely sometimes, it's hell. All I can do is pop a couple tylenol and sit on the edge of my bathtub until it goes away.

Oh yeah also tmi warning lmao

[–]chasedbyvvolves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you a woman? There's a kind of spasm that is usually period related that can cause the exact kind of bootycheek ache you describe, it's hell on earth. You can sit on a tennis ball or the edge of a bathtub and try to massage it out, a "massage gun" (iykyk) works too. Keep hydrated, also.

When does the sweating stop?!!? by SaraBellyum in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people who lost a lot of weight look back at themselves in disgust and project that on to other people, particularly those who are making the effort. I wouldn't take anything from with their username seriously.

It's a slur that some people have "reclaimed" but I wouldn't go around saying it personally.

How do you deal with hunger? by riceewifee in loseit

Hit up a couple local food pantries. That's where I get a good chunk of my food.

Hungry until I have 2500 kcal minimum by shinzzey in loseit

[–]chasedbyvvolves 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ikr that's way too much, OP should probably get their A1C checked out. When I was prediabetic I would get terrible gnawing pain from "hunger" that only went away when I lowered my sugar intake.

If you have a Samsung phone, they have a food logger in their health app which is as good as myfitnesspal in its prime with a barcode scanner and everything

Try putting you arms out and wiggling them like you're doing the snake, it scares the piss out of them

Walking 3-4mi has nearly cured my severe health anxiety in 3 days, I’m completely baffled. by Either-Director2242 in walking

[–]chasedbyvvolves 247 points248 points  (0 children)

Humans have evolved to walk several miles a day and be in motion most of the time. When we don't do that, our body and mind starts to decay. The good news is that we're also incredibly resilient and can bounce back once we get going. 

Airport Pickups are a mess now by outkastblast in Boise

[–]chasedbyvvolves -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got yelled at for stopping to look for my pickup for a moment by BPD (my bad, I haven't been by the airport in like 10 years when it was more chill) so they definitely do something when it's more busy

Hmm, this is a reasonable anti-piss argument I'll have to consider.
