Why do so many former US military members choose to get FAT after they leave the service? It's an "enormous" trend...

>go into cervix
>get used to constant physical labor
>get used to eating 4000 calories a day
>get out
>no more labor
>still eating 4000 calories per day

Knowing so many fat ex military people helps motivate me to workout 5 days a week.

Tbh when i was in i was lifting 6 days a wel plus 3 days of intense pt in the mornings. I could eat what ever i wanted. When got out went to school and had other things on my plate. The eating stayed but the fitness dropped completely. It sucks. I hate myself. I also tore my IT band while in so recovering from that long term (i cannot push as hard in the gym on it) has taken its toll. Me personally im working with my doc to change that. Found my hormones were all out of wack so once i correct them i should see a drop.

U on ur period?

Socially eating and drinking too excess is the most acceptable addictions. xSTJ's make up most of the military, and live with their heads in a jar, doesn't matter who's jarring.

No. I went in for a routine check up. Mentioned i felt sluggish in general and had issues dropping weight even though my wife was dropping faster than me. So she ordered blood tests. Went got them done. Followed by 3 more sets of blood tests. Followed by a call from her saying some levels were concerning and i should go see an endocrinologist.

Oh and an MRI ordered as well. But stressed the endo appointment was more important.

vets are less fat than non vets
Americans are just fat

*snerks* here's an opposite story. Back when I became 18 I discovered an intense interest in the discos in the neighboring towns and the girls hanging out there. So I started going there, and dancing, because I went there on my own and just standing watching was dead boring. I got laid. I also got fit since I was a LOT on the dancefloor. So when I started on my conscription year I was like a coiled spring. And hello army training... which turned out to be less taxing. Boot camp was fine but the next nine months we were sent to a camp way up north where the work schedule was very limited and physical training was barely remembered. All most of us did was eat and sleep and spend the days in the barracks. The food was meh but there was lots of it. I went crazy from lack of activity. Managed to score a desk job (as opposed to spending the day in bed). Took a lot of evening classes, played soccer, went jogging 2-3 days per week, but still I had managed to put on 20 pounds when that year was over. Never managed to lose them again.

It's apparently gotten better now but when I was in we weren't really "taught" fitness. We had a dietician come and give a talk to the battalion once but that was it. There were always a group of guys who would go and work out on their own and I'm sure they're not getting fat any time soon, but for the rest of us morning PT and doing whatever job we had to do that day was our work out. We also get in the habit of eating a lot, so suffice to say when I got out and kept eating the same amount while sitting in a classroom most of the day, I ballooned out a lot.

Watch Larry Vickers "why I'm fat" video if you want a rundown and then see when it was made and look at him now for a bit of hope if you're on the fat side after being fit anons

Want you to understand what you are getting yourself into, son.

Being fat is both painful and extremely expensive. You will end up selling your funs and a lot of other things.

This.
Stop being fat, there are no excuses.
Being fat is worse than being noguns.
>Your body is your first weapon, take care of it

>got a job in corrections

This is why you got fat, user.

Ooooooof

Because Military PT and Fitness is the dumbest shit ever. Almost designed to grind your knees and ankles into nothing with slow, plodding joggs.

From my experience I went through multiple situations where we were borderline starved to death. That tends to fuck up your eating habits and you don’t portion food reasonably. It took years to not overload my plate and eat like a normal human

Because you need to eat 5000 calories in the field to maintain muscle mass at that level of labor.

If you don't stop eating 5000 calories per day at the same exact moment as the labor stops, you gain massive amounts of weight.... And it's impossible to shrink a stomach after it's been expanded.

Why is this thread here ffs?
>why water is wet
>30000 replies 10000 image

>No one was kind enough to tell me I was a fat fuck because civilians are too nice
way to take responsibility shitbag

Oh, it's not impossible to shrink a stomach. It just requires surgery, and even that is a temporary fix unless you undergo the same changes in diet and training that would have helped you lose weight in the first place.

Also;
>For the first time in 12 years I don't have to get out of bed and do burpees with 19 year olds like a shot caller in a whites only holding cell
>I don't have to do crunches in front of some nigger while I hope he can't see my balls
>I'm not getting paid to do exercises that are constantly bemoaned by actual fitness trainers for being too rough on joints while providing little muscle gain or cardio benefit
Not every vet gets fat, yo. Some people stop working out, get skinny, and just smoke dope instead of eating cheetos and dominos to fill the hole in their life

This. I don't know how it is for other branches but the Army PRT is a fucking joke.
