i tell myself i'm not going to eat a single thing whenever i drink alcohol but i always end up stuffing my face with whatever junk i can find on top of the 1200-1500 calories of liquor.
I try to plan for something at the end of a night of drinking just because I know I will definitely want it - last time it was a grilled cheese, the time before that it was some stir fry - it’s worked for me so far but I did have to skip breakfast and eat very light for lunch to have the Calories to both drink and eat crap afterwards

Your metabolism shot up because of the cardio. Typically lasts a few weeks.

its been ages since ive had an actual cheat meal desu skate shoes are very flat.
Sebastian Lopez
i ran the calories and my 2.5 heaped teaspoons of sugar and a generous splash of milk in my coffee is adding like 100 kcal to it and im drinking 3 of those a day. what do you lads swap that shit out for when you just fancy something nice to chill with in the garden?
Elijah Edwards
I've been drinking 1 can of Cherry Coke Zero a day on my weightloss journey. 30lbs in so far so I can vouche if SODA is your VICE like me. Coke Zero Sugar is a good alternative.
get a zero calorie sugar replacement or drink it black
Robert Williams
Canceranon here. Treatment is over. Next few weeks are going to be adjusting my diet accordingly. I expect to be able to begin going all in on losing weight on May 1st.
Isaiah Fisher
literally black coffee with nothing in it. learn to love it. i take mine on a fuckton of ice and make it black iced coffee. if you're going to use a sweetener don't use aspartame it tastes nasty if it gets heated up.
Henry Gomez
Someone brought these sweets from Portugal to work today. They are called ovos moles, and they are basically egg yokes and sugar in a thin wafer. Holy fuck they are good and I have eaten like 10 of them.
Trying to figure out how to save my day. Already put my tuna, sardines, orange and nut mix back in my lunch bag and put away. No more food, and some long ass cardio session tonight.
i am contemplating a banana or some other snack treat in spite of sitting at 1100 kcal consumed today not taking the oil i used in my stirfry into account.
Parker Butler
Fell off the wagon for about a week, gone up 2kg. Fuck me lads, honestly it's one thing that I didn't go to the gym but if I hadn't eaten utter shit and drank so much I would have maintained my weight at the very least.
Setbacks can happen though. Just gotta keep this in mind and use it as motivation to push harder.
Carter Parker
Its aight just dont overdo it
Brody Cox
I'm finally starting to *look* less fat and I'm loving it.
Progress has been slow recently because I cheat like a motherfucker whenever I go over to mummy's house and I've been doing that 2-3 times a week recently, so I'm going to focus my efforts on not doing that.
Just hop back on. I believe in you user we all gonna make it.
Whats done is done its important to be able to look forward and plan accordingly.
Henry Peterson
you should always take oil into account user, it's very calorically dense even with small servings.
Isaiah Campbell
Sorry I haven't seen you post before, do you mind filling me in?
Jordan James
Ate a 1lb steak thinking it was less than 1k calories. It's not. I haven't finished my workout of repentance yet, instead im procrastinating by posting here. At least the rest of today will be easy once I finish my workout even though I won't be eating anything else.

Jaxon Price
good fucking going my dude, that is some solid progress right there.
i should, next time i think ill just grill my chicken breast and let the veg cook in just its own water content from being frozen.
Benjamin Robinson
shit, meant "not fat enough for /fat/"
Brandon Garcia
i know those feels, user. still got a tyre around my waist in spite of fitting into size small shirts.
sure, why the fuck not?
Adrian Green
No actually, it's physically impossible to eat plain lettuce. That's the third law of saladynamics.
Jackson Rodriguez
>doesn't want black coffee >doesn't want iced coffee >doesn't want sweetener without calories
what did you expect? if you're this big of an anal faggot about the whole thing then 300kcal probably isn't that bad

Gabriel Rogers
When was the last time you ate or drank the following, /fat/? -A glass of fizzy drinks/soda -A non-negligible portion of cake/pastries/ice cream -A ration of chips/crisps -Straight up fast food involving processed meat (e.g., tacos, burgers, kebab) or pizza
Ian Foster
I ate that bigass lasagna yesterday and barely went under maintenance
Luis Gutierrez
I've been posting in these threads for about two years. Two years ago, I was 250lb and over the course of about 4 months posting here I was able to get down to 200lb. I stopped after that and went on with my life.
A year later, I noticed I had gained about 30lb and so I began posting on here again, all the while going to the doctors after finding a lump below my nose. I got back down to 215lb when I found out the lump was an incredibly rare form of soft tissue cancer that is only discovered in about 365 people a year. I had a pretty extensive surgery to have it removed followed by five months of intense chemo.
The chemo is so intense that if you don't eat a lot, your body basically starts eating itself. So they make you take heavy duty steroids every day to keep your appetite up. This has lead me to balloon all the way back up to 250lb. But I'm fine with that. Cancer has made me into a better person. Once I'm done with the final steroid round (a few more weeks) I will be ready to go back to eating about 1500 calories a day. It'll probably take me half a year to get down to 200lb again, but I know it'll be easier than ever now that I've been put through the wringer and know that I should try to live my life as healthiest as possible so I don't get cancer again.
Isaac Collins
i mean iced coffee is a actually real nice idea, i just need to prep it.
also sweetener is really, really fucking bad for you. diabetes and cancer with none of the satisfaction of eating actual sugar because you cant trick your digestive system that easily.
Anthony Howard
> A glass of fizzy drinks/soda
Around Christmas, probably (unless you count carbonated water, which you shouldn't)
> A non-negligible portion of cake/pastries/ice cream
Had some cake this weekend, birthday party
> A ration of chips/crisps
Two weeks ago, went to a concert and that's all they had available to eat
> Straight up fast food involving processed meat (e.g., tacos, burgers, kebab) or pizza
After that same concert two weeks ago I had a hot dog
Kevin Williams
Typical fat logic. You shouldn't seek the feeling of being full because it's a pleasure associated with eating. You want to break that habit and find comfort in other things in life. Also it stretches out your stomach and passes a shitton of fiber through your intestines which stimulates them to want more food. Your stomach knows when it's not getting calories and you'll still feel hungry after anyway. It's not the most important thing in the world and you can still lose weight fine by eating like that, but do consider practicing eating small quantities of nutrient dense food instead.
David Gonzalez
godspeed user. cancer sucks dick. fuck cancer.
Ian Miller
Wow, I'm happy you beat it. Stick around, we're always here for support.
My girlfriend is actively trying to keep me fat and I do nothing to stop her. I have to sneak out to go to the gym and hope that I can lift the fat away goddammit why do I have low self-esteem

You don't need to eat a lot of ice cream to be able to enjoy it. Even the "mini" at DQ is a good size.

Had two sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits, hold the biscuit about three weeks ago. Had one for breakfast, one for lunch. Still stayed within my daily calorie ration.
Chase Ramirez
>Well there's my good mood gone, how do you deal with mum science /fat/? Always remember that she worries because she loves you and want what's best for you (even if it's wrong).

its been a long ride user but you learn shit along the way. sweeteners are fucking awful and you should really just not.
>Lost 40kg over the course of a year >Went from obese to normal BMI >Treated very differently >People smile at me more, take me more seriously etc >Women hit on me now and activly seek my company
I dont like the attention at all and am feeling like an impostor. I hare sperging out when a random girl starts a convo out of nowhere. Some days i contemplate getting fat again just so i can be invisble again wat to do...

Aaron Johnson
That's still grounds to dump her. There are multiple problems at hand if a person is willing to hold back their significant other from improved health and happiness no matter what their reason for it. A person shouldn't actively do wrong by someone they ought to love and support. A person shouldn't think that the solution for "I won't be good enough for this person if they improve themself" is "I will stop them from improving". If your partner tries to stop you from making it, they're not going to be the person you want at your side if you manage to make it without their support.

Isaiah Lewis
The only way to git gud at social practices is to practice. You have changed yourself to be worthy of your new treatment, so you're not an imposter. Just looking better is the barrier of entry into some human interactions. Improving your social skills is the barrier to deeper interactions. You'll never have an actual social standing that you're not qualified for.

Im unironically afraid of this. I've already lost most of the weight and Im almost normal weight. Im unironically not ugly and I dress decently but Im autistic as fuck and I haven't talked to people in 15 years.

Just wear headphones all the time. Learn to project that you're disinterested. You can be polite but cold and it will turn most people off of talking to you.

Have good hygenie, don't be fat, be polite, use a pleasant tone of voice and smile when it's natural, look at people when they speak to you, seem interested/engaged in what they have to say. It gets much easier after you get over the initial zero-skills no-experience hurdle. Start by trying to be pleasant when you do things like order food or pay at a cashier. You don't need to strike up smalltalk or shit like that, just be relaxed, pleasant, and polite.

One thing I learned, is drop unnecessary details in when you speak. It allows people to ask questions and keep the conversation moving. And ask questions when others do the same.
Jace Wilson
Use unsweetened almond or coconut milk and artificial sweetener. I use sucralose drops, the bottle has lasted me a year because i only need 2 drops to sweeten a cup of coffee.
Oliver Ortiz
Maybe I should have clarified, I have friends and have been with a lot of girls, I know how to interact with people. I meant the spontaneous interactions that happen in stores e.t.c. when you're just minding your own business. What do I do to look more approachable? I was asking because I think I might look angry and judgemental in my natural state so to speak, and I don't want to look like some weirdo freak that smiles like a psycho.
Nathaniel Jenkins
Yea it’s a lot harder to lose weight when drinking. Try to limit it to 1-2 nights a week. Helped me a lot.
Dylan Barnes
Congrats on getting through man! I rarely say this but don’t overdo it with the weight loss in your case - always err on the side of checking with your doctor.
