Muscles going soft

quiverdream:
As someone who’s not exactly into the athletic-to-fat kink, I’m curious: what’s y’all’s take on those trainers who get fat and then back to fit with their clients?


that was kind of my plan a few years ago... take some time off from the gym, have fun, indulge... and then eventually get back into shape.

it turned out i liked the fun & indulgence part a little more than i expected, lol! so my weight went from 150 to 180, and i thought, "i'm so close to 200 - let's see what that feels like."

i didn't get back to the gym until after i'd gone well past 200 lbs... and it was such a challenge, i got discouraged. i tried to get back into working out a couple of times, but i felt very discouraged by how hard it was, and tbh, embarrassed by how far out of shape i had become.

plus, i'd really discovered the joy of food - something that really hadn't registered with me prior. really diving into the world of food (and drink!) and all the different flavours really became a new passion for me, which made cutting back so hard.

i think if you watch those gimmicky tv shows, they put on 20 or 25 lbs, and yeah, they can lose that. it's because they haven't really embraced that lifestyle. i think i just waited too long, lol!

Anyone else had back issues from standing at 324lbs?

Softissohot:

Sounds like a classic case of sciatica, we see this in patients of all shapes and sizes in the clinic I work at. More often than not the root of the problem is that patients are too stiff through their mid back and shoulders (sitting at a computer, driving, generally not getting movement in the spine all day) and so the lower back acts as a hinge point and gets strained, which puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. Any exercises that get gentle movement through your mid and upper back will help. Also do hamstring, glute and quad stretches at least 3 times a day, as often as you possibly can. The sciatic nerve runs down the leg through the IT band, so you can get sciatica type symptoms just if the leg/glute/hip muscles are too tight.


this is great advice - when i stopped exercising and getting fatter, i started to have back issues. my gf at that time convinced me to do some yoga stretching, and it really helped - i think softissohot accurately gets to the heart of the matter.

i am bigger now, but i know i should be doing more stretching. every time my back starts to bug me, i know i am overdue. there are some great youtube videos on yoga for big people, too.

And to think that those muscles melting into flab have also made it easier for a domme to control you.

Before, you could run away if you really wanted to.

Before, you were maybe pretending she could overpower you. It was a game. But now with that lard ass weighing you down and that swollen gut pinning you back, you really are at her mercy.


wow... this really resonated with me, and where i am now... and i am kind of surprised how much i like it!

Bmi. what's yours?


EIIe:
What’s interesting is my BP and labs all look great! She didn’t say anything about my weight at all. I prefer being a healthy fat person, I have enough medical issues I don’t want more.


fat and healthy is good! smiley

How many calories?

here is the one my girlfriend got me to use to track calories consumed and burned:

fatsecret.com/

using that data, you can use this calculator to calculate your projected weight gained or lost over time:

fatrnfatr:

Calorie burning doesn’t increase very much with weight gain if you remain sedentary. You're probably consuming least 7000 calories a week more than you're burning, so you're going to keep gaining. Figure on putting on at least 70 pounds a year, which would bring you to 400+ pounds in 12 months time. Get those 64 inch pants ready!


so i checked my calorie log ( i use fatsecret.com) and um i think you're right... which is both exciting and a little frightening!

totally failed to reduce my calories today already... i drove thru at mcdonald's and just got one egg & sausage mcmuffin sandwich... and then i was so hungry i went to another less than 30 minutes later and ordered 4 more!

In writing this I stuggled with how specific I should be - I hope I am not too graphic in my descriptions.


beautifully written, babe! maybe a couple of details I would have left out, lol... but otherwise great. smiley

There is a path that is rarely spoken about and that is that mental transition to accepting that your gluttony has become ravenous. I call it REFRAMING; I had to reframe how I saw myself and what being obese was really like and owning the fact that I now have a new normal.


exactly - the new normal. i have made a few attempts to eat "normal" and get my daily calories below 4,000 and i was just miserable! i was just so hungry all the time.

i stepped on the scale today (this is not an april fool's joke!) for the first time in a month, and it said 330 - the number has never so high before, which wasn't really a surprise, but i kind of expect it to, like, level out, you know?

That's sooo true. Once you really develop those habits they are there to stay. I can't imagine going back to my old eating habits. Something would missing. And it's pretty hard to get yourself to do sports again once you quit and get used to being lazy.


this is so true, and this is why it feels like there is no return to being skinny, for me... when it gets hard to walk any distance, or up a flight of stairs, it just makes me want to go sit on the couch!

when i started to measure the calories i was consuming, i tried to reign in my appetite for a few days, to get under 4,000 calories a day... omg, it felt like a punishment! i wondered how could anyone live that way??? lol
