How long did it take you to get as fat as you are now?

It took me 8 years or so to go from 140 to 300 not on purpose but it took the last 2 to go from 300 to 400 on purpose.

How do i achieve the gainer mindset

Ultimateaaron12:
I think I’m finally ready to give into gaining but my problem is I feel really embarrassed at the idea of ordering at restaurants or grocery shopping like a fat person especially as someone the exact opposite and of course already being shy in general doesn’t help but I’m wondering if anyone who had a similar experience who was embarrassed about giving in and eventually let go has any advice would be greatly appreciated


3 words: food delivery apps
Worried about people judging you for getting enough food to feed a family of 12, don’t worry door dash will do it for you and they’ll just drop it at your door no interaction required

Or you can do curbside pick up you can have someone shop for you and alls you have to do is open your trunk and boom you got groceries or like I said just get a grocery delivery app

People need to stop worrying about what people might say or do and just learn to go with the vibes, don’t get me wrong I struggle with this sometimes too but the idea that someone is going to say something or bully you for being a fatty because you got a lot of food will never happen and if it does ever I will eat my words trust me but it won’t the fear is irrational fundamentally

Starting out

Iwantrolls:
Thank you. Good advice. Hopefully I don’t plateau for a while.

Munchies:
Plateauing isn't necessarily a bad thing. It gives you time to adjust, heal, and prepare for the next stage of your gains.

It's all about perspective.


It’s true. It’s important to keep your stamina up and get a bit of exercise and I didn’t mean to say you need to break it I’m just saying it’s why plateaus happen.

Starting out

Sounds like you’re on the right track just keep indulging all those cravings and you’ll be a biggin in no time don’t worry about calories for now I’m sure it’s been pretty easy to break your caloric balance daily it’s when you first start platueing you need to up the calories and measure

How to deal with people's reactions

Also you can just straight up lie to people and say yeah I know ive been trying to diet/exercise, and unless they are one of these health nut types they’ll leave you alone

Just today I got a “damn bro you look huge you’ve been going to the gym” comments - I just laughed and said yup 3 times a day gotta stay fit and that was it
