Morbidly A Beast:it’s tough but I’m still around just thought it might keep me from overeating but I can’t seem to stop
Munchies:Well, do you have a plan in place?
Morbidly A Beast:Was good for a few days actually did like 2 days with a fast then broke yesterday and today but I went and got some stuff for salads and chicken. I did go to physical therapy, which was good. I don’t really know where to start
Munchies:I'd start by noting your strengths, weaknesses, and short-, medium-, and long-term goals to get your bearings on this. Play to your strengths, and devise a plan to deal with your weaknesses.
I’ll try that thank you. probably gonna take it easy within reason this weekend. But even my splurges yesterday and Tuesday were moderate relative to normal. I haven’t been on a scale at all but I doubt much has changed.

I’m just glad it wasn’t worse, you find a previous unknown lump on your body and you think the worst, happy in that regard.
I don’t know how to control myself around food anymore and where to even start is my biggest thing. I’ll be going through with it just as a note I’m def not risking my health.
Hopefully some weight loss and physical therapy fixes it the Dr said surgery is the last option so that’s a plus. Probably gonna be stepping away for a while, hopefully I come back again I like being this big

I have always had some pain in mid side for along while it comes and goes but over the weekend It was extremely painful and I felt a lump I’ve never noticed before I can’t see it or anything only feel it so i got an appointment. I went to the doctor today turns out I have a rib cage cartilage hernia and because of my weight and the obvious issue of my large amounts of fat they want me to lose weight so they can get in and fix it, and while I get it to an extent is that really there only option? just wanted to vent a little because I just feel like this is turning point for me.

A tailor is your friend! That's first. I can't tell you how many things fit funny as my body grew and grew and i really wanted to look like a sharp fat dude. Tailor fixes pants, shirts, coats. I mean it's money but I assume you're talking about a professional situation so 5 or 10 buckaroos for an alteration won't kill ya.
Second - to be comfy, let the belly hang out and put a loose (and tailored) jacket over it. Or just let it be "out there" and others can deal.
Around the waist is ok, but ya kinda look like a barge and it can be distracting or uncomfortable because the pants slip down anyway and you have to keep pulling them up which sux.
Suspenders are a classy way to pull off the "fat man in charge!" thing. AND they hold up the damned pants.
Hope this helps!
Yup, Quite telling that when you see big guys they are really dressed up or seemingly underdressed and that’s because expensive tailoring is the only option in many cases

As you get bigger you’ll realize it’ll get harder and harder to clothe yourself — there’s a reason why bigger guys don’t seem to dress well and it’s because it’s all that fits fat guy stores usually don’t have much more than 5xl
I gave up on non elastic a while back because it became to much of a struggle to reach around my belly to button. But I felt like a goober when my pants went around my belly

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
Morbidly A Beast:
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.
Arame:
Sure, I could! But not for you 😊
I don’t think you understand I’m not asking for you to do the math for me I’m asking you do lay out the formula because people always ask for info like it, to help people. I’m not entirely sure why you have a problem with me.
