I'd hazard a guess that by going vegan it still puts incredible restrictions on your diet, so a person recovering from an ED will not feel overwhelmed and still feel somewhat in control. I'd certainly say it's something psychological within the ED mindset (assuming your observations are true, I don't tend to pay attention…

To be fair, women do exactly the same if we are generalizing. Most won't look twice at guys who are overweight above a certain degree, depending on person. Some do, sure, but then so do some men. I gave up being bitter (not suggesting you are OP, but I was at one point) about people and attraction. It is what it is. I get…

My job takes me away for 2-3 weeks at a time, hotels and on the road. No access to home cooking, in countries where I don't speak the language, so you often tend to go for foods where you know what they are. I also work as part of a team, so it's the norm to go out in the evenings together, normally to something like a…

They happen, you've recognised it's happened and you can face today as a new day. It sucks when it seems to happen so soon after starting, but I feel at the start is when they are most likely. I had a bad day myself about 5 days in, didn't have the heart to add the food as I knew I'd messed up big time. We're talking…

Very much depends on the type of music you like. I'm another that enjoys driving for the sake of it. They say that music when driving should be slow tempo and relaxed...yeah can't do that. For me personally, I tend to go back to my teens, songs such as Dead Cell - Papa Roach, Johnny, I hardly knew ye - Dropkick Murphies, I…

There's definitely a difference, well done, you're looking great! I think our sense of self perception is often skewed, especially if it's already leaning negatively. My brother managed to lose over 100lbs, dropped down into regular clothes sizes, looked a completely different person. When he looked in the mirror though,…

I had a dream about a month ago I can still remember vividly, from the brickwork in the place to the furniture. It's quite long to go into the specifics but it culminated in me tearing the lower jaw off a person who had, in my dream, caused me a great amount of distress. My friends turned up whilst I was holding the…

Nope, don't get hit on. I'm pretty sure I just give off one of those "vibes" though. Unsurprisingly I don't hit on women either, there's plenty of stunning women in this thread who most guys would never approach. Remember ladies, alot of guys probably find you attractive, very few in day to day situations will have the…

Didn't know she'd featured on an Alter Bridge song, then again we live in a world where Within Temptation feature X-Zibit and Ninja from Die Antwoord performs on stage with Marilyn Manson, so really nothing should surprise me. Have seen BSC live though, they are awesome. OT: Something for breakfast as I woke up late and…

Lousine Gevorkian or Cristina Scabbia...or both?

Hmm, have been single for 9 years. At this point I think I actively keep myself out of potential relationships as I'm so used to being alone. Strangely...it doesn't bother me very much. Certain times of year it can get a bit lonely sure, but the rest of the time you barely notice. I build up impossibly high standards,…

Words at this point mean little to me, it's something I've had for, essentially my whole life. I think the worst of it I've had from the general public, has been the people driving past, winding down Windows and shouting at me that I'm a fat person of questionable parentage. That's happened multiple times in areas around…

As cliche as it sounds, consider this the first day of the rest of your life. I've certainly missed out on so much as a result of being obese, but there's nobody to blame for that but myself. At this point I have to write off my 20's, by the time I lose the weight I need to lose I'll be 30, but I'm going to make sure I…

It's always incredibly hard the first few days, but your body will adapt quickly. Keeping it up once it becomes easy...thats where I tend to fall down. Think of how rough you're feeling and fight it, knowing that within a week or two, your body will adjust to your new eating pattern.

Hello all. I'm a returning newbie who's only just trying the community aspect of weight loss. I'm from the Northants area, need to lose 170-180lbs, perhaps more depending on how I look when I've lost that amount. Currently 400+ but at 6'8 and 27 years old, it doesn't affect my mobility like such a large weight would an…

1) I've come to realise that being so overweight is, in my case at least, a sign of weakness. 2) My weight, my body issues, have seriously impacted my life in regards to relationships. I want the closeness and companionship that seems to come so easily to most. Whilst I'm overweight, I don't believe I'm worthy of that. 3)…
