#Tw: weight

[lioneliness-etc]

Jason: I was just sparring with Tim. Is it just me or is he actually starting to bulk up finally?

Dick: awww baby bird is getting all grown up!

Jason: huh now that I think about it… its been since he started dating Bernard.

Dick: awwwww he’s taking such good care of our Tim!

Tim meanwhile: please help me. Bernard is a chef. He cooks so much food. He’s such a nerd about cooking and I have to eat it all because I love him. He packed me an entire cooler for lunch. What am I supposed to do with all of this??

hey everypony! so I have noticed a thing- a lot of people don't think sky is chubby? and I can totally see why- cuz I have been failing to draw him like I actually want him in the comic! and the reason I think this is happening is becuz I have him right next to wild (wild is a very skinny creature XD ) so my brain is going- "ah yes- this is a big sky" but then he is just drawn not the way I want him ;-; I'm gonna try to fix this in the future!!! so if you suddenly see a bigger sky than what he was last update- then that's why XD ( also side note! he is drawn skinny in chapter 1 cuz I was scared people were gonna be angry that I made him chubby- but over time when I saw people really liked fat warriors I changed him too! )

So I’m not sure if this is just me, but did anyone else think that Crosshair looked more gaunt during his time with the Empire and after compared to how he looked in Clone Wars Season 7 and the first episode of Bad Batch? Like I feel like his face looked more angular and his cheeks looked more hollow. I’m not sure if this was just my perception, but it made me so sad.

[writingsbychlo]

you’re probably overweight or obese lmao

im so sorry you’ve literally never been touched by love or affection in your life, that must be rough. sorrows, prayers 🤍

anyways, to all the girlies, don’t mind the men I’m not sure how they got on my blog but i love you all, we stay winning because a real man ain’t afraid of a woman who eats 🤍

Every time I see Daniel in 2022 in the Mclaren era and he barely has any muscle on him, like he would turn and his side profile would be NOTHING - he looked ill - he’s a grown man in a high intensity sport already known for eating disorders and for an established commentator to imply he needs to be replaced BECAUSE of his weight is malicious, cruel, unnecessary and unprofessional. I know Daniel’s team is not going to pay attention to people who obviously are craving a reaction from him but sometimes I wish someone paid blake to go punch a few people in the mouth

How would Finnick react to you gaining weight after you two get together?? Like that thing where girls on tiktok talk about gaining healthy weight when they get into a healthy relationship??

-🎸

finnick loves you for you, not for your body. sure, that's some of the appeal, but he couldn't care less if you gain weight or lose weight, so long as its done in a healthy way! he thinks you're beautiful and he's a firm believer that a number on a scale does not define who you are

I don’t talk about it much but I’ve lost almost 60lbs. But no one tells you that when you lose weight suddenly it hurts when you’re a side sleeper. I had to get a memory foam mattress topper with a cushy pillow top that goes over it so my hips won’t hurt. And now when I sleep on my side I need a knee pillow because it hurts to have the bones in my knees touching each other.

I’m pretty happy with myself, I got a cheap ass stationary bike off Craigslist about a month and a half ago to see if I would reliably use it and, not only have I used it 5 days a week, I have made it to the point where I can do 5 miles on it a day without it feeling like too much.

I’m not necessarily uncomfortable with my weight or anything like that but work has been as such that I’m spending too many days behind a desk and I was getting more winded than I was personally comfortable with when chasing goats around.

If I keep it up until next year maybe I’ll get myself a nicer one for Christmas or something.

The Next 6 Months

I was watching Elicia G. from the Glow Secrets Podcast; her latest episode about taking the next 6 months to really focus on yourself and hon in on creating that discipline really spoke with me. I know that I want to make a lifestyle change. It's something that I have been struggling with for a while.

I have been following Asia J.'s weight loss journey and her messages on life; it gave me so much to think about my apprehension about working out and committing to bettering my life.

I want to change for the better.

[linked-maze]

Are there any of your Links who are fatphobic? Of course Warriors and Sky are not but what about the rest? hope this doesn’t come off as rude 😊

oh man Fatphobia??? that can be a touchy subject XD for me there are two ways of fatphobic people- there are the ones that HATE and treat fat people like trash! and think losing weight is sooo easy. Then there are the people who don't hate other fat people but are scared to become fat themselves and have some internalized fatphobia? ( I sometimes struggle with this ) ( if I'm wrong plz do tell me! I could be wrong ;w; ) anyway! yeah, some of my Links do have internalized fatphobia and are scared of becoming fat but they don't hate fat people! one of those Links is actually Warrior himself! believe it or not! He doesn’t like the way he looks and tries really hard in an unhealthy way to change it. but don't worry! he will learn in the future XD and don't worry anon! you are not rude at all!

Not snz. Weightloss and ramblings of a plus size person under the cut in case it is a sensitive topic for people

Covers weightloss plans of an overweight person, binge eating, emotional eating, social anxiety and not feeling good in my own skin at the moment due to weight issues.

So, does anyone here have any experience with Weight Watchers? I want to give it a try because I really want to reach a point where I feel better in my own skin again and not feel bad about going out due to weight issues every single day. I also notice problems in completing everyday tasks which has never been an issue even though I've been overweight my entire life, which really shocked and worried me.

Also, I am worried that my health will suffer if I don't rein in my weight. I've gained a lot of weight due to sad life stuff happening about four years ago and couldn't shake the weight again. I've been overweight before, but this new added weight really led to a significant dip in my overall enjoyment of life as well as people's behaviour towards me and perception of me.

I recently realised that my overall mental health suffers more from this latest weight gain than I had previously realised. My social life as well as my career is impacted as well and I want to take my life back instead of living for those moments where I can be alone so I don't feel judgement or discomfort due to my weight.

So long story short, I am trying something new with that weightwatchers app and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it, or is on a weightloss journey in general as well and would like to share some experience.

Thanks for your patience in case you've read that far.

So I've recently gained a lot of weight

I got put on medication for my depression. Because my appetite was low and I was a bit underweight for my height my doctor prescribed Mirtazapine

And he told me I might gain a little bit but it should plateau after a while and it shouldn't be anything crazy.

It used to be that I struggled to recognise I was hungry until I was starving, but I rarely got to that point as I would be satisfied with a small lunch and a small dinner so long as I remembered to have them. I didn't have much need for snacks or breakfast.

Now since I started the medication I constantly feel like I'm starving. That painful, ravenous hunger that distracts from everything else until it is satiated, but it's never pacified long. I feel like I have to have breakfast, lunch and a sizable dinner as well as several snacks or else I'll be suffering terribly.

9 months later I've gone from a UK size 8 (US 4) to a UK 14 (US 10) and I've put on 20kgs / 42lbs, and that number is still steadily climbing.

I've started going to the gym to try to burn it off as often as I can, but I just wind up even hungrier after a workout.

I'm currently trying to muscle through it on willpower alone but I feel so awful. Food is literally all I can think about when I try to restrict my intake to what I used to eat. I feel like my whole body is on fire. And it's not working. Even restricting myself to eating the bare minimum needed to function I still see the number climb.

And while I have liked some of the changes that came with the weight gain- like bigger boobs and actually having an ass and hips...putting on weight in my belly has been very difficult to accept. Buying new clothes every couple of months even more so. Seeing the numbers go up on the scale, on the measuring tape and on my clothes...seeing the stretch marks grow in number and intensity day by day...it's scary. I worry it might never stop and I'll become so big that I can't lead a normal life anymore. That I'd need to buy a second seat on a plane. That I couldn't ride a roller coaster. That I couldn't dance. That I couldn't walk.

I worry that people are talking behind my back, saying I let myself go, that I'm ruined now. I worry my partner will stop finding me attractive.

I feel like I never have anything nice to wear because everything highlights my huge belly. I'm constantly bloated and could be mistaken for pregnant if you didn't know me. All my trousers dig in painfully and I heave over the top of them. Shirts are too tight and ride up to show off my pale, rounded skin.

And sometimes I find it sexy, in a strange way. Like my body is changing and growing softer, and soft bodies are sexy...but then the shame creeps in. Like I'm doing something wrong and taboo by finding my own bigger body sexy.

I feel forced to be more feminine than I am - dresses and skirts are the only clothes I feel comfortable in. Everything else digs in too much, shows to much, or adds bulk that makes me feel even bigger. I was never a girly girl - I'm not even sure I'm a girl at all.

I'm going to Japan next week and I had originally planned to buy clothes while I'm there. I had been excited about all the different styles I wouldn't be able to get back in Scotland. Now the idea fills me with dread. They won't stock my size in any of the normal stores there. I'll have to shop in stores with insulting names like Moo Moo Girl and Hey Fatty Boom Boom.

Maybe I'll grow to accept my body with time. Maybe I will even be able to lose the weight somehow. But i don't want to come off the medication. It's been the only thing that's made a dent in my depression and I couldn't stand to lose that. Maybe I could even be fat and happy someday - better than skinny and dead.

I just hope I figure this shit out soon.

TW: Weight mention

I have lost 7lbs so far <333 it feels nice. I mean it doesn't feel any different at all, physically, it won't until I've lost a bit more than that lol. But mentally it feels nice. I have quite a bit to lose but I'm not discouraged by that. I'm just happy to see progress. It's been so lovely to be able to get back into exercising again now that I'm medicated for my heart. I still have some issues where I need to stop immediately and go cool down, but those instances are less and less and less the more I go. It's just...nice!

[the-wayside]

Babe is tiny. We knew this but I don't think I/we appreciate *how* tiny he is. He's about 2-3cm shorter than me and I'm like....average height at 178cm but before he started working on The Sign he was 53kg.

My fighting weight is 62.5kg/138lbs with a 26/.5-inch waist, which is a men's XS. My lowest weight that I wasn't entirely comfortable with as I was cold a lot and basically like paper was his end goal for gaining. And the fact he had to gain so much would have been so hard because there comes a point, particularly when you're exercising a lot, you're just force feeding yourself to make up the calories and you start to kind of loathe food.

Any time any actor has to mess with their diet/physicality, OF ANY GENDER, for a role, they deserve massive praise because it's torture either way.

Common things my mom says:

“Oh wow, I ate so much today, I won’t be able to eat at all tomorrow.”

“I can’t do that, I’m too fat.” (she weighs 150 pounds, like no me joda)

“I can’t go out like this (without makeup) I will scare people.”

I understand this comes from the people in her life. Her mother whose obsessed with being thin, her first BF before my dad who told her what she could/couldn’t wear, my dad who is a jerk at 300 pounds and has no problem pointing out if people eat too much, don’t “look good” etc. But I can’t listen to this anymore. I won’t have my daughter listen to it as she gets older. I’ve told her before and had this conversation with her and she simply doesn’t get it. She doesn’t see why it’s a problem to think this way / shame herself about what she eats.

1 slice of pizza and half a slice of cheesecake = not allowed to eat tomorrow

She goes to the gym, has a trainer, keeps nothing but protein bars in her house… she’s 55 almost? I don’t know how else to communicate this with her but it’s a big reason why I don’t like it here. It’s literally part of my culture to think this way. To shame yourself this way. It took me YEARS to finally escape this cycle and be healthy despite not starving myself.

Im just sad for my mom, sad for me too. I wish I didn’t have to break this cycle, I wish I didn’t have to set the boundaries, but I do.

“Won’t getting a wheelchair be counterintuitive?”

“Don’t become too dependent on your wheelchair.”

“Don’t sit too long in the wheelchair. You don’t want your muscles to atrophy.”

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!

The reason I’m even getting a wheelchair is because it HURTS to walk and stand and travel. I am basically homebound due to my pain and weakness in my legs!! I’m not getting a wheelchair to be cool or because I’m lazy. I CANNOT WALK WITHOUT PAIN AND THE POSSIBILITY OF COLLAPSING DUE TO WEAKNESS!!! Stop telling me this. Stop telling me that getting something to give me more freedom is going to be detrimental to my health. Stop telling me that I’m going to make things worse. Things are ALREADY worse because of my pain. My doctors write me off as a drug seeker because I’m asking for help so fucking often. They don’t give a shit even though I’M NOT ASKING FOR FUCKING MEDS. I’m asking for some goddamn answers and the only thing I’m getting is that I need to lose weight or that it’s in my fucking head.

I have lost weight. I lost 75 fucking pounds and because I still wasn’t under 175 like the bmi shit says I’m supposed to be they want me to lose even more weight. My mom is an inch shorter than me. When she was 175lbs, she looked SKELETAL and she only lost the weight due to fucking heroin. Is that what the healthcare system wants me to do to reach my supposed “goal weight”? Fucking heroin? Will doctors finally listen to me if I’m strung out on heroin to achieve an unattainable goal???
