How to deal with negativity

Sweetannaxxl:
Took a small break from doing anything, and visiting the site due to some criticism from outside sources. It really took a toll on me and made me feel negatively about myself. I have gained a substantial amount of weight in a relatively small timeframe and must have come as a shock to my peers, which prompted some discomfort in conversation. My question i guess is how do I deal with this? I have no genuine interest in losing the weight, I know it won’t make me happy, but being ridiculed for my size is ridiculous. Does anyone have any good tips for shrugging it off?

Munchies:
So, I want to add a little bit of nuance to this conversation.

If you are getting very fat very quickly, it's normal to be concerned. Sudden rapid weight gain is usually not a good sign of things. Usually, people think severe depression or illness. It may be good to reassess how fast you're gaining as rapid gains are not sustainable and can lead to later weight loss.



No amount of concern excuses any kind of body shaming or bullying. Since these are your friends, be honest with them. Tell them how you feel about what they are saying and doing. If they are really your friends, they will respect this. If not, then these are not people you need in your life.


This is the correct take. Its times like this i wish i could react to a forum post without typing out a message

Ff user who ruins people?

I have a question for what I like to call “Ruinists” if ruining people is your thing why don’t you ruin your own life? It’s a win win you don’t get to spread your evil and you get ruined.

My wife’s (unintentional?) journey from fit to bbw

Jeromekayla6658:
Not my style lol. You tend to not stay married very long when you do things without the wife’s permission 🤣


Fair enough! Does she know you like the weight she has gained? Or is it just something that’s accepted?

Very condescending and dealing in total absolutes. Also "if you x, then you would y" is completely logic of your own invention, it's not some universal law. You're creating rules for a game that I have no interest in playing.
This is sub thread about ruining, on a forum about submission and domination. It goes dark places, mate.
What you wrote out and described would be erotica for many people, on both sides of the coin.
Nobody is making you be here, reading this stuff. I suggest you find something else to read, because it clearly upsets you.
What I wrote clearly triggered you and that's ok, you're allowed to feel how you feel and your experiences are perfectly valid.
But your feelings have nothing to do with me.
You've said what you want to say, you've allowed my words to confirm your assumptions about my character feel free to consider this a win and enjoy your dopamine xx

I sure hope she does

Bc a lot of creeps post pictures without their wives or girlfriends consent or worse they are strangers or just pictures from social media.

Why does every guy i show interest in want to lose weight all of a sudden?? (rant)

I don’t try to lose weight I just tend to drop a few lbs in the summer, but tend to gain it back once it cools down. It’s just hard trying to keep up an appetite when you work in the scorching sun all day.

I can’t speak for them but it’s probably them thinking you like them despite the weight even after you stated as a matter of fact you like them bigger, they probably think in their heads “oh she likes me but I’m fat if I lost weight she’d like me more, she says she likes me fat to make me feel better” or it’s they don’t feel comfortable fat

Anybody here played a sport,got really fat,then tried to play it again

TacticalMilk:
Just wondering if anybody has had the same experience as me


I used to play a ton of soccer/football when I was younger and I was on slightly chubby back then.I tried playing it again over 5 years later and over 100 pounds heavier and it really put into perspective how much bigger and slow ive gotten ,as well as how terrible my cardio is unsurprisingly.The only thing I kept were my skill moves and tricks I could do but I get out of breath after less than a minute.

I would like to hear anybody's story's similar to mine.

Canuck:
interesting view on skills vs fitness. a friend of mine who used to be a track & field runner in school at a competitive level, then got fat later as an adult when i met him, told me that he still had the speed - just not the endurance! which sounds like your experience.

i wasn't into sports so much as weight lifting and cardio at the gym... at 150-160 i was really fit, in great shape. then i took a break and porked up to 220 - when i tried to go back, my loss of strength, stamina and flexibility was really shocking to me. i felt completely out of place, i felt really embarrassed. having to get off the treadmill after just a few minutes because i felt like i was dying was a real shock!

now i am more than twice that size, and i don't know how i would even get up from the bench after trying a bench press!


Exactly it was really eye opening for me it was kinda the moment I realized why fat people are the way they are it’s like once you have a weight problem it’s probably to late to go back and it’s a pure uphill battle, I could never put the gene back in the bottle even after several attempts. Eventually it’s like why am I even bothering I like it to much
