Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Lost 200 pounds. I WAS HER. I was in denial. I changed it. Now, there is no way I am going back.
When he says, “she’s not happy, she doesn’t want to look like that.” It is so true. I’ll take loose skin all day. Being healthier makes me so much happier.
I hope people looking to lose weight know that 99.99% of people in gyms are quietly rooting for them. Losing weight when you’re obese isn’t easy, and working towards even small goals takes a lot of character and bravery.
Earlier this year, I stepped onto the scale to see the wonderful number of "503".
Five hundred and three pounds, you heard that right. I've finally started to lose weight, I'm down to 484 so far, and MAN let me tell you that I can 100% fucking guarantee that being this fat is about the worst thing you could do to yourself.
Walking is hard, stairs are hard, sitting in any chair that's not huge is hard, sitting at all is hard actually thanks to my back, laying down is hard because my heart has to handle having a ton of weight on it, fitting into vehicles is hard, finding clothes is hard, bathing is hard, masturbating is hard, putting on socks and shoes is hard, cleaning or picking things up or doing anything is hard, wiping your butt is hard.... actually, why am I listing it? Being super fat makes EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of your life harder. I need a machine strapped to my face to BREATHE at night!
And that's not even mentioning the mental aspects.... I'm 20 years old and I haven't so much as held hands with a girl, why would I? I'm disgusting, massive, stinky, and when your legs are as big as tree trunks your dick looks tiny.
I don't know why I went on that tangent, but... just know, take it from this absolute unit, being fat, morbidly obese, hell, /r/SuperMorbidlyObese , it's not fun. Or healthy. Or attractive....
But that's enough rambling! C:
Edit: Oh lord this is the first time I've had a "comment with lots of points and gold/silver" and there's so many replies! :D
I'm gonna go down the line but if I miss anyone (I'm going to bed soon) I just wanna say boy, y'all make me feel a lot better about my weight! heh, it wasn't too long ago that I would vent on reddit about how fat I'm getting and how soon I'm gonna die, but not anymore <:
Edit2: Okay, this is certainly my most upvoted post, and I'm glad, this is a great thing for #1 <3
keep an eye out for my wonderful "hey reddit I'm half the man I used to be" post in a year or so, heheh, I will drown in red arrows and I will like it
Edit 3, because sleep is for weenies and I thought some sort of proof might be useful: Here is a picture of me in August, while I still weighed above 500 (I think)
And then, Here is me about 10 minutes ago! woo!
Edit 4: I love you guys, recently I was kinda feeling bad about "only" losing 20 pounds, but jeez, this whole comment chain's really got me hyped to keep going <3
I wouldn't care about Tess Holliday at all if she weren't such a well documented piece of shit.
I hate that Tess Holliday tries to promote this Big Is Healthy thing when she literally cannot get off the floor unassisted and can barely walk in heels let alone do an actual runway show. She lies about her size and when she goes to a photo shoot and tries to get fitted for actual size 22 clothes they end up having to leave the backs undone or, in one case, actually draping a dress around her front because of it. If she were truly proud of her size she wouldn't photoshop her pictures or lie about what her real size is.
Edit: I guess I need to be more specific about this photoshopping thing. Yes, people photoshop. That's fine. But it's shitty when you have someone like Tess who says you need to be confident in yourself and how she is happy the way she is then turn around and photoshop ALL her pictures. She photoshops her cellulite, she photoshops herself SMALLER. She has no right to preach body positivity when she does that shit.
Edit 2: she also edits herself skinnier in her personal photos that she posts, it's not just her photoshoots and professional photos.
There is a huge difference between being nice to people no matter what they look like and pretending it's healthy. That's the big difference. I don't judge people for being fat; I do criticize the mentality that they're somehow not unhealthy though. It's not something to be ashamed of. But pretending it's healthy is.
I like to stay in the gym quite a bit and whenever I see someone overweight in there, it actually makes me happy. They're not on Twitter posting some stupid hashtag about everyone's beautiful or whatever the hell. They're actually putting in the work to improve themselves and that's something anyone could admire, especially these days.
My dads always saying
"Smoking killed my generation...We're paying for their treatments...Fat people will kill yours. You'll be paying for that."
Edit: Goodness this blew up! Thanks for the gold yo!
Edit 2.0: a lot of y’all are really splitting hairs here...
To put it more kindly, I think there's a difference between celebrating yourself despite your obesity, and celebrating yourself because of your obesity. And the difficulty is that that distinction gets lost in a visual picture. You can look at the picture and say, okay she's celebrating herself... but is she doing that because she's obese, or despite the fact that she's obese?
Because I'm all in favor of obese people celebrating themselves in spite of their obesity. Obesity doesn't mean you're a bad or a weak person. You can still be an awesome, incredible, strong and disciplined person while also being obese.
But as soon as you start celebrating yourself because of your obesity, then it's like you're saying your obesity is what gives you value. And that's unhealthy. These can't be controversial opinions, can they?
