I feel like I often switch between wanting to get in shape and having my clothes fit, and wanting to not care whatsoever about what and how much I eat and just let myself get as fat as possible. Anyone else experience this?

WideJuan76:
I used to go back and forth myself but each of us come to the fork in the road in which we will decide if we will use that fork to eat ourselves to further fatness or we will use it to keep on going with this seesaw of going back and forth.


I agree with WideJuan76, as the rubber does meet the road. If you're unsure take your time; knowing its different when your metabolism is shot, and you're not able, willing or have finances to deal with changes that result down the road.

Those dudes who are lonely/frustrated keep in mind, it's less stigmatizing for someone who is non-feedist/'normie' to take a 250lb chubster home than an outright 450lb fatty as those in her circle will feel she settled/truly 'dated down'. Folks may not want to hear that, but it is what it is.
If you feel you can be alright by yourself until that special someone comes along, then by all means eat away.

Struggling with this myself at the moment.

I worked really hard on my fitness last year, and damn it was nice getting to a point where I could do boring everyday things like walking around the supermarket without looking like a fat freak dripping with sweat and struggling to breath. It was the fittest I have been in nearly a decade and it felt great to be more active.

Then I started binge eating again to self-medicate a period of worse than usual depression, it snowballed and before I knew it I put on over 30kg. The extra weight made movement much more difficult, which slowly chipped away any and all motivation I had to exercise, and now my level of fitness is non-existent again.

Currently I'm just enjoying the food too much to stop, even though I probably should.

It's seemingly impossible to balance my rampant desire for food with my aspiration to be fitter and have a more active and fulfilling life.


Just get back on the fitness grind while also allowing yourself to enjoy food

I'm currently at my fattest and simultaneously near my peak fitness.

I go to the gym twice a week, do hour long walks on most days and do flights of stairs (with good form).

I also eat like 3200 calories a day and pig out on weekends lol.

I feel I've found a happy medium personally and all of the cardio is only more effective the heavier you are.

You can do it!
