It shouldn’t matter what other people think…it should matter to themselves how terrible that is for their health and overall well-being. If you are that obese then you have issues going on that need to be resolved. It’s a lack of self control to get to that point. Over weight is one thing…morbidly obese is a whole new level.

Once you gain weight and realize how hard it's going to be to work off, it seems like just bad weight ontop of more bad weight.

Nutritional education isn’t something preached and taught as much as it should be.

I can kind of get how a 5'10 south louisiana baw can get put to like 215 lbs. I simply can't fathom how someone gets to 4 bills.

Because it's easy, it happens somewhat slowly at first, and then it becomes a choice to just roll with it because change seems impossible.
The power of feeling like it's too late and easier to just lean into it is very strong.
Society also doesn't allow for red flags when it comes to weight like it used to either. Too harmful to feelings.

You’ve hit it hard after “joining” the last few weeks. Trying to get your post count up like a freaking douche.

A year ago I was 5 11” and 230lbs at age 51. I graduated HS in 88 at 170 lbs. I went up and down between 210-230 for almost 2 decades. I ate way to much sugary foods and way to much sugary beverages. A lot of bad carbs and little to no regular exercise. I started losing weight without trying last October, was thirsty all the time resulting in drinking about 1 1/2 gallons of liquid a day (3/4 of that being sugary drinks) , and urinating every hour. Research made me face the fact that I had probably kicked in to being type II diabetic.
Thirteen weeks ago, I set up an appointment with a doctor. I had dropped to 192 the morning of the appointment and my A1C was crazy high at 13.1. By BP was 150/92. Talk about a wake up call!
I completely changed my diet that day. Haven’t consumed a sugary beverage since then, eaten sugary snacks or desserts. I eat carbs but rarely eat potatoes, rice, or pasta and if I do it is usually just one bite. Just been extremely disciplined and it hasn’t even been hard. Moderate weight lifting a few days a week.
I had my 3 month check up on Thursday and my A1C had dropped from 13.1 to 6.5 in 3 months. I weighed 170 which moved me out of the BMI overweight range to the healthy range at 24 BMI. BP was 116/76. Labs came back normal on all metrics. I feel better and healthier now than I have in 30 years.
My takeaway from my experience is that I took my health for granted for decades and was willingly ignorant to what 100+ grams of processed sugar and other unhealthy processed food a day would result in health wise. As long as I remained just within the margins for BP, cholesterol,.etc. , I had little to worry about. That first A1C reading and facing the fact that I had really screwed up was a catalyst to major changes in how I looked at my nutrition. I tell my overweight friends that they should just start consuming foods and drinks as if they were diagnosed with Type II.

The American Heart Association has fricked up health care and diets going back decades. Cigarettes were healthy at one time and encouraged. People became addicted to sugar because fat was evil. Just a bunch of dumbass shite. And now here we are. Fat and acceptable. I am not the greatest of case studies. I was healthy played adult league sports and then my ankles and knees gave out. I was single so I drank a lot. Now here I am 35.00 pounds overweight at 205. I however redid my entire budget and noticed that I still have a gym membership. Prolly gonna utilize that. I used to live running back in the day and don't mind running on a treadmill at all.
The end.
The end.

Why do people let anything get out of control? You act like they say to themselves “let me gain a bunch of weight, that will be great.”

Good luck man. I will offer one thing though, and this is just my opinion. But it’s way more about calories in and calories out than it is what you eat in terms of sugar, carbs, proteins etc. A candy bar is not great for you but also not necessarily your enemy. If one wants to lose weight, they should consume less calories. Again, just my opinion, I’m not a dietician or anything.

Exercise is incredibly difficult and painful to start. When you’re seriously out of shape, if you don’t have an expert showing you proper technique, you will likely hurt yourself almost immediately when trying to start exercising. This makes starting and maintaining a real routine ling enough to become habit nearly impossible.

The worst thing you can do is to totally immerse someone into a world of exercise that has been sedentary for years and is 50-75-100 lbs. overweight. They need to be slowly and steadily brought up to speed to avoid injury and eased into a routine. That's why the success rate was so dismal post production on the biggest loser.

You got to look at it as an addiction.
I got a friend over 300 pounds. Binge eater. Dude has let his life spiral out of control and his only comfort is food now.
He spends all his money on food. Dude will literally eat 3x meals for lunch.
Its like 30-45 dollars hes spending on lunch everyday. Then eats something equilvant to that for dinner.
He can barley work now. Moving is hard for him.
I've tried to help him many times. But he cant stop. Hes chasing some high that he gets from food.

For some people, food and over eating is their drug. It’s their addiction
