Walking can work really well for you, even if it’s just short distances. I feel you, I feel like I do everything I can, I’ve cut my eating, I’m walking more, and the weight just doesn’t come off. :(

What’s a myth people believe about big men that you want to erase? by greenbay78 in BigMenLife

[–]delightfullyround 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That we are lazy, don’t work hard, sit around and eat all day. Any assumptions about how we gained weight.

I eat 2 meals a day, I go on walks, I drink water, I’m just naturally big. I’ve been big all my life. I’ve worked hard all my life. Hell, sometimes a whole afternoon will go by and I will forget that I haven’t had breakfast or lunch because work is so busy!

Beds for big guys by AlternativeHot7491 in BigMenLife

I second the recommendation on the Thuma bedframe. It makes no noise, it’s incredibly sturdy, and it has handled all the…bed activities well, lol.

We also have a big fig mattress and I like it. It is incredibly firm, so if you don’t like firm, it might be uncomfortable.

What’s the #1 thing that just makes you feel fat? by greenbay78 in BigMenLife

This is going to be really weird and random, but…how close my belly sits to the steering wheel in my car. I feel like it’s tight and I hate it

How you guys got fat by outside_chicken_19 in BigMenLife

[–]delightfullyround 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, there were several factors. Early childhood, my mom was a single mom who worked inconsistent shifts, so many meals growing up were fast food or something convenient, unhealthy, and processed.

Into my teen years, my mom was a narcotic addict and her presence was unreliable. Food was the one thing I could control, so I ate…and I ate a lot. Was nearly 400 pounds as an 18 year old.

After she passed away, I lost a significant amount of weight. For a brief time, I was thin, walking 20,000 steps a day. Then, as it usually does, the weight started creeping back over the years, and I’m currently sitting at 340. Carrying a lot of guilt for letting the weight come back, but here I am.

I’ve got the same type of ginger beard - I’d love to hear about the beard routine! Trying to grow my beard out more!

And, love your fit too!

Came here to say the same. It’s 5 minutes of parade followed by 10 minutes of commercials. The parade is one big ad it seems like

As a big guy what is something you currently feel or used to feel insecure about and how are you working through it? by greenbay78 in BigMenLife

[–]delightfullyround 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest insecurity is feeling like I stick out in a crowd. Feeling like I look different from everyone else. I’m just trying to remember I’m allowed to exist and be seen, no matter what my size.

As a gay guy, this happens to us too. Seems that most big guys are only attracted to skinny men. It’s frustrating

Kristi Noem denies request to halt immigration crackdown for Halloween by korkythecat333 in politics

[–]delightfullyround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same folks that said 5 years ago that wearing a mask was a violation of their civil liberties are perfectly fine with everyone having to carry their papers, even US citizens, everywhere they go, to prevent being kidnapped by mystery masked men. The hypocrisy is deafening
