Like you know those magazines in groceries stores and the front page is like "(53) lost 82 pounds in 3 weeks with this one trick".

Do they just shill new drug like ozempic that actually work or still the regular stuff they usually do.

I genuinely don't know as I don't read them, but I saw one while I was grocery shopping earlier and was curious

I 23(F) have been dating my boyfriend (27M) for the last year. We met when we joined together at my previous job. He confessed to me and we started dating. I was 5'7 and 190lbs and I knew I was fat, hence didn't expect it. He told me he liked me like that and had no problem with my weight and was attracted to me. Yesterday we had a fight and he told me that I am fat and look very heavy. I have PCOS and that has made me gain a few lbs in the last few months. I'm well aware of how I look and have been making dietary changes to improve my health. I'm kinda introverted and have to travel a lot for work so my workout is essentially a walk but after this I'm thinking of talking up regular gym and working out to reduce. Should I breakup with him? The way he said it broke my heart cuz we were fighting but I never thought he thought of me that way. He always called me hot and pretty. What should I do? I'm just broken. He hasn't said a word to me. Should I end things ?

1. The associations between psychopathology and being overweight: a 20-year prospective study

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15554575/

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that being overweight is associated with a range of psychiatric conditions including minor and atypical depressive disorders, binge eating, and aggression.

This study shows relatively strong associations between eating-related and aggressive psychopathology and being overweight. Given the high prevalence rates of these conditions, this study encourages further research on the causality of psychopathology-overweight associations that might provide insight on novel preventive approaches for major health problems.

2. Antisocial Behavioral Syndromes and Body Mass Index Among Adults in the United States: Results from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2730646/

Among women, ASPD was significantly associated with overweight and extreme obesity; AABS was associated with obesity and extreme obesity; and "CD only" was significantly associated with overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity.

significant associations of ASPD with overweight and extreme obesity, AABS with obesity and extreme obesity, and "CD only" with overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity, were observed.

in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses, the strongest relationships were observed between ASPD and extreme obesity

Thoughts

As if we needed another reason to hate fat people. Not only are they a drain on national health resources, they're also proven antisocial buttholes. Fat people are manipulative bullies that do whatever it takes to get what they want in the short term, and they are hedonistically driven. We should not tolerate fat people. They are ugly on the outside and the inside. Interestingly, the studies show NO correlation between ASPD and being underweight

Among women, antisocial syndrome was not associated with underweight.

So skinny people literally have better souls than fat people.

I've been overweight my whole life— my entire family is overweight as well. I also have PCOS, GERD, IBS and mental illnesses/trauma. So, naturally, losing weight has been an ongoing struggle for me for a very long time. I know I need to lose weight for my health, but it's starting to feel impossible. I know I'll never be pencil thin (I have a broad back for a woman, along with thick wrist bones and ankle bones and other stuff like that) but I'm starting to lose hope of ever being able to reach a healthy weight for myself. I also feel myself growing frustrated with just how long it takes to lose weight and see a physical difference— I honestly wish I could just snap my fingers and have all the fat sucked off my body— but I know that's not how things work.

Now, I want to make it clear that I know I have a lot of prejudice against myself for being fat (it's been drilled into my head since I was a young child), yet it doesn't seem to translate into prejudice towards other people. Idk why, but seeing myself is always a bad thing— I'm ugly and fat (derogatory), but other plus sized people look absolutely fine and gorgeous. So, that's why my title is the question I posed— I just want to know how to cope with my appearance. This way I don't spend so much time feeling horrible about myself. Like, I literally have trouble staying focused in the bedroom with my partner because, one minute, I'm enjoying things, not a care in the world, then the next minute, it's like I have a horrifying realization— I remember what I look like and just feel so ugly and undesirable (even tho my partner doesn't think that at all). It's like something drags me back to reality and reminds me of my appearance to intentionally ruin whatever I'm doing. This happens when I'm out with friends, too. I get dressed up all cute, do makeup, feel attractive— but then, the minute one of my friends shows me pics they took of me or (god forbid) took while I wasn't paying attention, I see myself and feel disgusting. I do have OCD (untreated currently bc it's hard to find a psych), so I'm sure that isn't helping with my obsessive thoughts about my appearance, but there has to be something I can do. How do I cope with/accept my appearance while struggling with weight loss? Also, does anyone know why I find other plus sized people attractive/don't feel any negative feelings towards them, but can't stand to look at myself?

Would truly appreciate some help in the comments— I just want to be able to live in this body of mine without feeling hatred and disgust for myself. I want to be able to live life without thinking/worrying about my appearance constantly.

Also, if anyone else experiences this/something similar, and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to hear from you— it would be nice to know I'm not alone in these thought patterns and feelings.

1. Throw away everything with carbs.

2. Now you have no food.

3. Go buy eggs, string cheese, and peanut butter.

4. Eat only those things.

5. Eat as much as you want.

6. Your appetite will vanish.

7. You will start to rapidly lose weight like Ozempic.

binge usually 4-5 days out of the week and my highest caloric intake was 12,000 calories in one day.

Time to get into pharma

She probably has binge eating disorder with periods of restricting and then periods of massive calorie intake, but she doesn't want that disorder because it isn't tready and sexy like those thin bitches with ana

It's been hard to date especially as a bigger women the men in my dms only want s*x and it's so frustrating and depressing that plus size women are only wanted in the dark instead of a real genuine relationship and I'm trying to not give up hope but it's so hard not to. If anyone would like to leave advice please do bc at this point idk what to do

They aren't attracted to us, yet they can get turned on enough to F us! Go figure? Lol

Babe. Dating is impossible in 2024 because of social media standards for all girls to be perfect. & now woman are be coming more and more entitled by using their looks in order for men to pay for their life style. No one is honest, or genuine anymore. Everyone wants everything for nothing. I have accepted I will remain single the rest of my life simply because I am plus size & men just don't genuinely appreciate plus size woman long term. Only for 1 night. So, do whatever works for you

Literally doubles in size.

So I'm size 22 (baggy), my hips are wide sure. I'm currently flying southwest and did not get reserved seating because I'm traveling with my partner and daughter and it was already 1k for the cheapest. Well, we were last to board and of course, full flight.

We all had to sit with strangers, and it leaves me to wonder why these things are so expensive but there's hardly any room. Even the thinner people next to me are scrunched up next to one another. > And the aisle is so small that the flight attendants have to practically knock people as they go by.

I'm sure there's some reason for this, but jeez. It's uncomfortable to encroach on people's space.

!fellas !foidmoment

Yeah it's old but I don't give a shit.

>What I can see this eventually leading to, is overweight people being stripped of benefits if they refuse to inject themselves with this drug.

Suddenly "muh medical freedom" matters lmao

>How about free ozempic in general?

Unironicly wouldn't be against it

>Would've been nice to see that money used on UBI instead.

So you can doordash and ubereats more fast food lol

Terrified of intimacy

I am a woman, about 270lbs. I just started dating a woman who is a real catch, shes beautiful, kind, funny, caring, and intelligent. She's quite petit, the opposite of me and though she seems to like me a lot, I am terrified of intimacy because of how much I hate my body. I hate the way I look with my clothes off and it's starting to hold me back in this relationship. Everytime we start kissing, I get scared when hands start to wander and break it off. She invited me round for dinner but I'm scared, actually terrified that it will turn into something! We've been on 4 dates and I'm aware this is when things start to get less-casual.

Does anyone experience this? I hate my stomach, my thighs, everything. I'm so so so scared about this but I like her so much and I don't want to throw this relationship away
