I went through this

lost 60 then gained 40

Lost 40 then gained 20

Ect ect


Lifelong process that never ends so it takes a lot of dedication
Same exact pattern for me. Like I lost some weight then dropped the ball and gained it back but still below where I first started. Now I'm back on a weight loss trend and down below where I last dropped the ball. It's honestly laziness and tiredness at a certain point for me that makes.me go through this cycle but I can say at least I'm not as heavy as I was a year and half ago .

It just a lifestyle thing. The people who gain it back never fully adjust their lifestyles.
Yep. The times I lost it and gained it back it was because I went on a diet with a weight goal in mind. The problem with that is diets are temporary so once you feel like you reached your goal your body reverts back to replenish those calories you deprived yourself of. Now I track what I eat everyday to make sure I stay under a certain calorie threshold. This will be a battle I'll have for life but I know how to manipulate calories and exercise in order to achieve my goals and live healthy.

Dapped.

Another thing is just general lifestyle as it relates to food and exercise. When I was in Europe I dropped a few lbs without trying just because of their lifestyle (lots of walking, public transport and smaller portions). I don't think I ever counted a calorie while there. I think it's good to plan for a goal weight, but then after getting to that goal weight, keep doing what you did to get you there.

Yep...hence the reason I log in everything I eat and log in all my cardio. I like the fact that I have a cheat meal once a week and I feel so guilty after that cheat meal that I go extra hard in the gym the next day.

Breh I used to have 3 cheat meals everyday of my life when I didn't give a fukk. I was getting coffee at burger king the other day and looked at their menu and seen that the breakfast I used to get there was over 1100 calories. That's just for one meal. Most Americans are fat because they give no fukks about calories.

Lifestyle changes.

People keep thinking it's a 30-60-90 program or eating guide, training schedule or some shyt.

"Oh I can eat good for 60 days and lose 20lbs" then they go back to eating like shyt and not working out.

You have to eat healthy and have appropriate daily activity for your entire life. Not just 30-90 days, not for a couple of years, not a decade.

A healthy lifestyle doesn't mean busting your ass in the gym 2-6 times a week or having some strict eating plan or any of that.

People either want you to believe excuses why they can't or want you to acknowledge reasons why they won't but at the end of the day it's lifestyle changes.

The changes are very simple, although you can't change what you don't know but instead of snacking on cheetos or cookies making a a choice for an apple or crunchy ass pickle. Instead of a double cheeseburger a single cheeseburger with extra tomato, lettuce, pickle or onion. You eat the same amount of food but the veggies have significantly less calories than the extra patty. A glass or cup of water as replacement for one pop or cup of coffee or alcoholic drink.

You provide people with options and they'll be quick to tell you, "I don't want an apple" "I don't want to drink water" "I don't want vegetables" "I want a snickers though" "I want chips or fries though" "I can't jump rope, I can't do push-ups"

Rarely will some one flat out say "I want to be unhealthy" or "I genuinely don't care about my health enough to make changes at this time."

My Pops Forever RIP
when you lose a lot of weight, you realize that what you eat while you're losing weight for the most part sucks.

I lost 70 pounds just off portion control (didn't change my diet). Then I gained most of it back when I hit my goal. Then I said fukk it, let me actually diet this time on top of exercise and I wound up losing most of it again in a much shorter time, but it was mostly just eating fruits and drinking GNC shakes. The shakes were cool, but sometimes you wanna just sit back, chill out and eat like a slob. That one day weight gain will scare the shyt outta you, so you gotta be more selective about when to eat recklessly and have a plan of action when you do. That's why some people experience yo-yoing with their weight.

Didn't read the article, but let me give you my point of view.

Throughout my life I have either been fat, in great physical shape, and back to fat again.
I shouldn't be fat because I have a personal problem that most people don't go through (won't talk about it on the internet) and it would be better if I was thinner.
I hear all the time it's a struggle for people to lose weight and all that no matter how much they work out or watch what they eat.

But my ass is going to tell the truth
I don't work out and I eat super shytty. :manny:

I was skinny through my junior and senior year of high school and then my freshmen year of college.
After I came to uni I blew the fukk back up.

after a long ass extensive assignment and being at school and then work all day, I just be like :manny: fukk it.

Actually talking about it is making me sad because skinny/in shape lifestyle is really amazing..

As I said, I was skinny in high school and early year of college, and boy was life different.

You feel great after workout :blessed:
You can breathe clearly, think clearly, and react to shyt with a clear mind. :blessed:
Summer is actually enjoyable :blessed:
My selection in women were wayyyyyyy better :blessed:
When you don't eat out the house, you don't have to spend a shyt ton of money on food:blessed:


But being back fat again

The selection of women in my life have fallen in quality :mjcry:

i be sweating hard af no matter what when its 60 plus degrees :mjcry:

I snore loud af now :mjcry:

Be out of shape to do anything, after a 20 minute walk im good for the day:mjcry:

i swear my anxiety has increased because of poor eating habits :mjcry:

clothes dont be fitting :mjcry:

i eat and still be hungry :mjcry:


damn... i needa lose weight:mjcry:

That year I got into pretty good shape, was the best year of my life. I wish I didn't fukk it up.

Every day is a new chance to start being healthy again though.
