Do you just appreciate the community?

Enas:
Do i appreciate the community?

Yes, i do. But at the same time, i know this community doesnt exist in a vacuum. Its prone to most of the problems the larger society currently has. I would like to be able to debate, especially about so called sensitive topics, but people here (as people everywhere!!) seem to suffer from cognitive dishonesty. On top of that, if this place has an ideology its propably a liberal one and thats sometimes problematic in a bunch of technical ways (In moderation for example - the rules are too simplistic, etc).

What do you think?

Is this a place for people to defends one’s worldview or is it a place for fat people and their admirers share their experiences? You seem to want to defend some hard and ardent worldview and inject it when we’re just talking about our lives. Were as some people just want to exclude bigotry and hate from our space and aren’t interested in some intellectual defense of Hitler and the 3rd Reich because people don’t want to be harassed? Do you see the disconnect? Or am I just being “cognitively dishonest”?

Does anyone here like to feel fatphobia? how to deal with it?

C00kie:
Unfortunately, being fat is something visible to everyone you encounter, and you can’t control how they feel about it. Even if people aren’t romantically or sexually interested in you, many still have something to say about fat bodies and not all of it is positive.

The reality is - as a fat person you’re likely to get looks and comments, whether from strangers, friends, or even family. Some may express concern about health, while others use it as an easy way to make a joke at your expense. Sadly, fat people remain easy targets, and in many circles, commenting on larger bodies is still seen as acceptable.

The real question is... how much do you actually care about what random people say or do? Do you really want to let others dictate your existence or your happiness?

TheUltimate323:
Well, I don't really care much about the opinions of random people. I'm mainly referring to the opinions of people close to me, like family and friends.
You know, I've always been at a normal weight, but I have a desire to have a very obese body. Making that change makes me uncomfortable when my family makes comments like, "You need to lose weight," "That's not good," etc.

If a person who has always been overweight gains more weight, it is not surprising, however, if a person who has always been in a normal body weight gains a lot of weight, then yes.

I’m not sure how it is in Spain and the situation isn’t the same for everyone but generally assuming your family and friends aren’t evil people praying on your downfall they won’t say a thing and you’re overthinking it.

If you’re worried about it cross the bridge when you get there but for now you have a while until the concern comments come

Should i wait for my metabolism to slow down?

Arame:
Your metabolism or BMR(Basal metabolic rate) is directly influenced by your lean body mass index(how much you weigh minus the body fat). The leaner you are, meaning less body fat you have, the higher your metabolism will be. To slow it down, you need to increase your body fat percentage. One pound of fat is 3,500 calories. So, to gain one pound of fat a week, you need to consume 500 calories above your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) aka maintenance calories per day to reach 3,500 calories in a 7 day span. Because 3,500 divided by 7 is 500.

By my calculations, you being a male at 5’11, 128lbs. Your BMR should be around 1,593. Assuming that you want to live a sedentary lifestyle, then your TDEE should be around 1,911 calories per day. So, to gain, you should be consuming 2,411 calories a day. Hopefully this helps

Exactly! can you like write how to do the math given activity levels and what not, I was always questioning how that effected the math.

Should i wait for my metabolism to slow down?

SumoSized:
It's called a TDEE calculator and they're invaluable to gaining weight when you have a fast metabolism. I used to think it was impossible because I was just thinking I needed to eat over 2,000 calories a day for the longest time. When in reality I needed to eat another 1,000 calories on top of that to gain weight. It's definitely possible to gain with a fast metabolism if just might take a bit longer and take quite a bit more food

That’s what it’s called! I couldn’t quite pin it down in my head good lookin.

There’s websites online that will do the calculations on how many calories you need to consume to maintain your weight depending on your size and activity level, so long as you exceed this threshold of calories you will gain weight. People say you need 2000 calories per day but that isn’t the math given somones relative size and activity level.

Your body will always burn x amount of calories and you need to exceed that to gain it’s really that simple, that X factor is your metabolism. There’s no trick, unless you have like metabolic or hormonal issues.

And yes it will change as your body changes but you’ll need more calories to maintain your weight at higher weights.

Should you wait? It’s up to you it can be expensive, but worth being a big fatty imo haha

There is a plethora of ways to seek a post. There is a search function, then you can also access them from profiles' activity pages, etc.

But even if someone were to dig into it...

...
it just is and it’s kinda spooky.

Enas:
Why is that the case? Spooky because someone got an interest which makes them search through the forums? I really dont think it’s spooky!

Because we don’t know what else is down there and I’m using a cave or a deep ocean as a metaphor? Jeez it’s not that serious.

It’s just odd when a thread gets brought up from the depths because it implies that they were digging through threads and threads of content, as a digital apocryphal text. Unseen by humans since the last it was posted on 7 8 9 years ago from a thread from 11 years ago.

It’s neither right nor wrong it just is and it’s kinda spooky. What else is lurking down there?
