it’s wild to me the way a lot of skinny people think weight works like they really genuinely believe that fat people could only be the size they are and continue to exist at that size because they eat “too much” and exercise “too little” and that losing weight is a straight forward process.
like, i started a job last spring that meant i went from getting very little physical activity to typically walking 5-7 miles a day on uneven terrain, carrying shit. My eating habits have remained more or less consistent.
I have not lost weight. My proportions have remained more or less the same. My clothes fit me about the same. I think any fat person would not find this particularly surprising but isn’t calories in calories out the gospel people constantly preach? you’d think dramatically and consistently increasing my physical activity would accomplish this but it obviously didn’t. I am not complaining, changing the size or shape of my body is not a goal of mine, but it’s notable that the actions the medical institutions endorse as ways to achieve that sure don’t actually work.
but while my body has not visibly changed, it’s definitely been great for my health! my mood and energy are significantly better. My resting heart rate dropped by ~10 bpm. I have stronger legs and better stamina. But I do not think anyone would look at me and think of me as someone who lives an “active lifestyle” despite the fact that i do. it’s amazing and depressing to me how many people have bought into the complete lie that you can judge health from appearances and the myth that fat people just lack discipline or someshit

Workout routine
gonna try to burn 30lbs by October and this is what i'm gonna try to do everyday (if you have any other tips for losing pls tell>)
Legs: Side leg raises both sides until i cant anymore, side clam leg both sides until i cant, side single leg push until i cant both sides, inner thigh lifts both sides until i cant, repeat all of those twice
abs: 50 sit ups, 100 crunches, 15 reverse crunches, 50 russian twist x2, 30 leg raises, 10 leg circles each side, 50 raised leg sit up
arms: arm circles both way until quit, 25 tricep extensions (back and forth, so 50 total), 20 cobra push up, 30 tricep dips, 15 overhead tricep extension
total: 90min
Myfitnesspal says this all burns around 500 cals but if this is wrong pls lmk
Edit: Many has said this is more strength trainings and this won't burn that much cals, around 1-200cals, so mfp is wrong. Also i do around 2hrs of intense swim a day so that also adds to the count.
Sorry!!
