I am so fat.

My facial features are grossly expanded in some ways and almost completely engulfed in others. I look like a balloon characterization of myself.

I caught my reflection in a vending machine window and was completely gobsmacked by my appearance. I have got to do something. I started Atkins again last week but I've done it so many times now that I get sick of all the protein almost immediately.

I guess I'll have to start working out again... and walking. I dread it, but not as much as the heart attack that's coming my way if I don't.

I am sorry you feel so bad about yourself, FountainandFairfax. Admitting you have a problem is the first real step to change, I do believe that.

Have you ever tried a raw juice diet? I would highly recommend looking into it. You might have to invest in a juicer, but it's so worth the effort to get one.
You would be amazed at the changes your body will make once you try feeding it what it really needs. Plus, it's incorporating a detox naturally so you will get maximum results. Have you ever watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"? I recommend that for inspiration!
Walking sounds great, too. Best of luck in making some real changes! You can do it :perfect:

Thanks Molly.

I'm a big fella so a juice diet would probably work wonders, since the bigger you are, the faster the weight tends to come off.

Plus, compared to all the processed junk I'm existing on now, a juice diet would probably seem like heaven. I'll likely feel like Captain America with all those nutrients in me, ha ha.

Over the years that I've experienced the health industry, all the diets, fads, magic workouts, latest products etc etc.. all promising to give you just what you need fail to tell you one thing. And its the most important thing;

It takes time eating poorly and not exercising to get out of shape. That may have started in childhood or it may not have. But you didnt just eat badly for a month and BAM! You woke up fat did you? Its a gradual process.

Weight loss that STAYS off isn't generally achieved with diets. Why? Because you cant diet for the rest of your life and no one wants to.

It's our bad habits that make us fat/out of shape so to get permanent change for the better we need to fix our bad habits. Or nothing will change.

You may achieve some weight loss with a diet for the short term, but it's going come straight back on when those bad habits eventually creep back in.

My advice (having spent nearly 10 years running a health club as a qualified personal trainer) is make small changes to your eating that you can live with. Exercise too.
Eventually you will allow your body to balance itself and you'll feel much better. You wont have to worry about dieting either. You'll just have better eating and exercising habits.
I'm always here if you want ti ask me anything, always happy to help those willing to help themselves.

I appreciate it.

I figure I've gained and lost a ton of weight over the course of my life. The scary thing is that this is the longest I've ever been fat without getting back into shape. Before, I've always been fat for a couple of years and then gotten back in shape for a couple of years. This is almost a ten year stretch being obese.

I think a raw juice diet is smart because it is easy and the best thing you can put in your body is organic fruits and veggies. It gets confusing trying to do anything else for me when I really want to kick start my eating habits and make positive life changes I go straight to the fruit and veggie isle. Plus, like I said you will get the detoxing effects that actually cleanse your organs too.
Go to the doctor first and get the OK if it makes you feel better but imo cutting out as much of the toxic foods and eating habits you have acquired through the simple act of juicing will make you feel amazing. Just replace two meals a day with it to start a few times a week. That's what I recommend. It is amazing what the correct foods and nutrients can do for the body. You owe it to yourself!

Hell yes I did.

It looks like I'm wearing a mask, my forehead is still me, but everything else is like a prosthesis. I tend to be stone-faced when I'm out and about anyway, so that compared with my fright-mask jowls makes me look really bad. :sarcastic:

I've seen pics of you though, and thought you couldn't be lovelier. I doubt it's as bad as you're feeling, unless you've been hitting the buffet-circuit extra hard in the last few months or something.

That's what i'm going to do, damn it. I've got some extra money so why not actually invest in something like a juicer that will actually benefit me in a real way? I'm sick of this cycle I'm in.

I saw a llama yesterday in my neighborhood. I need to get out more!

If I had llamas in my neighborhood I think I'd have to get out and see them every chance I got. :bigsmile:

There's a guy on YouTube called PeeWeeToms who's living with incurable cancer.

I've only been watching his vlogs for about a week now, but he's a very affable and interesting guy. Well, this morning he found out his condition is inoperable and that he basically has no treatment options left. The doctors told him to go home and enjoy the next two weeks; he's only 32 years old.

It was very sad, he was putting on a brave face for the video but but his mother was clearly devastated.

If anyone wants to sub to his channel I'm sure he'd appreciate all the support he can get.

Some people wake up in the morning and try to interpret the dreams they had.

I wake up and try to figure out why whatever song I have stuck in my head upon opening my eyes is in there. Sometimes it's more obvious, like I had listened to the song 500 times in the last two weeks, or something like that.

Today though, I am at a loss for why my subconscious was playing "Celebrity Skin" by Hole while I was waking up. :question:

"When I wake up, in my makeup, have you ever felt so used up as this?"

Maybe your brain was just telling you to stay in bed. :D
