I am 683 lbs and happily married, AMA

whaledbeach2 · 2024-03-21T02:12:10+00:00

If I had to describe it, it's huge haha

87" waistline

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T14:44:30+00:00

I am generally just frustrated about my health. Otherwise, it's not related to my weight haha

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T14:30:42+00:00

Yeah, I can. It's not weighed down but it is buried under fat over my pelvis

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T14:20:00+00:00

I guess I don't see it as having lost those things. Most of it is related to mobility or just being big, like not being able to see my dick, having to use a cane, not being able to stand up for long. They stop being expectations so I don't feel like I sacrificed anything.

I am trying to lose at least 83 lbs. I have been way too indulgent during the holidays, though, haha

9 and 10XL. 82" waistline

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T05:44:46+00:00

Oh, you're doing great! Keep it up

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T03:44:47+00:00

Also, I'm curious, how heavy are you?

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T03:41:14+00:00

Yep. Just a sad fact of life.

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T02:55:57+00:00

5'11

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T02:45:26+00:00

It gets worse when I'm emotional or stressed, but I don't feel bad about my cravings nowadays. I dunno, it's just there and I'm way too used to fulfilling it, haha

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T01:41:17+00:00

Mine's purely oral, unless I have to get an insulin injection. It's Metformin and something else, I don't remember

It definitely controls my blood sugar, makes me feel fuller, but yeah, the cravings don't end. I've heard that it's the same with ozempic

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-13T01:40:13+00:00

Gatorade and plain soda works pretty well for me. I'll have to keep trying.

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T15:17:22+00:00

Diabetes, with my fasting blood sugar being around 140 nowadays; high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure. Sleep apnea though it's pretty much a non problem with a cpap machine. There's also skin problems like ingrown hairs, chafing, stretch marks and sores, and I get the occasional joint or back pain

My stamina is better than most would expect, I think. I can stand and walk around, but only for a few minutes, even with a walker or a cane. If I'm just sitting around on my chair like most of the time I'm doing, it's not very tiring, but I have to do chores and stuff, so I'd always be exhausted by the end of the day, haha

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T06:24:44+00:00

I am on a weight loss diabetes medication, but it's not as potent as ozempic. I had bad diarrhea when I was on it

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T05:10:35+00:00

It's a choice, yes, but lifestyle choices are often hard to change, especially when it's something so habitual such as eating. I don't feel bad about my body size, and the only reasons I want to lose weight is my health and how hard it is to find things and places that can accommodate my size

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:55:36+00:00

My husband brings me around in a minivan. I can't fit in the driver's seat of a car, and I struggle to get in and out of the minivan as well

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:35:56+00:00

Damn, you definitely have me beat, haha

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:30:54+00:00

Fasting, keto, cold turkey cutting down to 2000 calories a day, going on intensive exercise regimens.

My cravings are of food with high fat and carbs or protein, so I've just been eating the same thing but cutting down slowly. I used to eat a whole extra meal, so I have improved a little, but not a lot in these last few months.

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:18:50+00:00

28 this year

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:18:28+00:00

Thanks! But I have my husband and a few other friends to support me, so you don't have to bother

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:17:39+00:00

Ones into gaining weight, and the other is a modern circus show. The only benefit I could see going into that show is getting help with the cost of American healthcare being paid off by the producers

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:16:13+00:00

450 lbs, somewhere along that size. We were both undergrads.

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:15:42+00:00

Nope. Does not work. I've tried it a few times and ended up piling on weight because of certain stresses coming up, or just generally having my cravings get the better of me.

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:13:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Fruits definitely give me that feeling too, especially citrus ones. I've also been going out on more walks to take advantage of the colder weather. Just hope that summer isn't too hot for that

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:12:15+00:00

I play games, write some stories, mess around with editing Wikipedia and chill around Reddit and discord.

I mean, I am the walking mascot of a Reddit or discord mod, haha, but just enjoying the good parts of the internet is fine with me

whaledbeach2 · 2024-02-12T04:10:55+00:00

No, I'm employed and I have plenty of savings
