Running Into People That Knew You When You Where Skinny..

[solaris=amazing]

Man i tell you this is funny...it actually makes me want to lose weight even more now...

To make a REALLY long story short... 3 years ago i went from like 280 to 200lbs in 6 months..lots of exercise and dieting...very dramatic. I was slim, in shape..and loving it.. I met so many people when i was skinny cause i worked at a store in a mall.. SO, NOW...i'm up to 240lbs (just lost 10lbs in the past month) and trying to get down to 200..it will take awhile, but i'll get there....

Ok, today i bumped into an old customer i used to have, a regular....he goes "where do i know you from"... I was like, it's me..from the mall awhile back..... He goes, and i kid you not (in front of a line of people at 7-11) "oh yeah, i remember you..WHAT happened..you put on weight a"..... It was something out of a movie i swear it..

PS, besides that rant..i DO BELIEVE we should do what Lewis Black suggest.....find a place that's really in the sh*tter...and BUILD A BIG FUCKING THING....the economy will explode...people will say "i gotta see the big fucking thing"...

Haha i've been in that guys shoes.. I saw this guy who I went to school with like 3 years ago and he like exploded within himself

I also hated him so I was happy

What's even worse is when you're in a situation like that and you really haven't gained/loss a signifigant amount of weight and the person is like "man, you've packed on the pounds." Happens to me almost everytime I run into someone I haven't seen in years. And it's like hummm.... I wonder why I stopped hanging out with your ass. Peace-

[solaris=amazing]

That's wrong PBking...how can they say that when you didn't gain alot of weight..?...idiots..

Believe it or not, when i lost all that weight..i got SO SICK OF HEARING "wow you lost so much weight"..in public..

It feels like you got over cancer, and there like OMG..

Damn do i miss my size 36 waist jeans :-(

[PBking82]

Becuase people are fucking morons. I'm an especially big guy, so when people see me their either like oh he's the same, or man why is that dude so huge. It just goes to show you who actually pays attention or not. Peace-

[HogieGT-R]

I'm a big guy also, and people are always like "oh you look like you've lost some weight!" i'm just staring at them like makes me wonder sometimes really......

Congrats on the weightloss, and sorry to hear about it coming back. I too have been there. When I was in 9th grade I weighed 250lbs, was about 5'11" and wore a 38. Before freshmen year I tried a bunch of those stupid crazy diets and none of them worked. Finally, about 2 years ago I got sick of getting teased and girls not talking to me in public. Now I weigh 195, am about 6'3", wear some 32s and some 34s, and lots of hot girls talk to me . The best thing I can suggest to people on losing weight is to avoid the fad diets. You need to limit your calorie intake and get on a regular exercise program. Dont worry about really fast weight loss and just stick to it. The first week or two with less food will be hard, but if you stick to it and do some jogging, it'll come off. Dont worry about what other people say and good luck.

Haha, Im 235, 5'11", and a freshman.And wear 38 size jeans, but might be able to squeeze into some 36s, but would take a good portion of the day, lol. Seems like I need to lose some weight.

THat sucks, all you need is some encouragement or for people to shut the fuck up and mind their business. I know how it is guys, I lost 20kg (50lb?) in 6 months.

What are the causes of you guys being big?

[solaris=amazing]

Hey guys...to answer your question Oz, FAST FOOD..lol.

Seriously though, i've had my share of depressions...but i'm not one of those people that say "food comforts them"...lol. If i want some comforting..i'll watch porn....

I swear it though this is a blessing in disguise (that i'm jobless) cause i totally lost my fast food cravings from not eating-on-the-go. EVEN if my bro buys me a burrito..or someone offers me fries or what not, i almost gag at the thought of eating that crap.. I'm looking for a job, but once it comes time to eat..it's gonna be healthy stuff..like i'm eating now.

Example, i'm on a fairly strict diet now..and i don't get that urge to go get wendy's bacon cheese burgers.... When i was skinny, it was a battle to pass a wendy's and not get anything...now i'm like "how did i eat that sh*t"..

PS, you save SO MUCH money from not buying that crap also.

Worked out for me the other way, kinda. There was this bully in school who last saw me about 8 years ago, when I was about 14 years old, 5 ft 3" and 100 lbs. I was half his size and pretty small for my age.

I caught him in the gym 2 years ago; I was 20, 6ft and 200 lbs. He stared a while, and when he finally recognized me, steered clear and sneeked out of the gym. It was funny, because there were two other people along with myself who hadnt seen him in years who he had also bullied in high school. We wouldve totally jumped that rat, and he knew it, lol . So gaining weight aint all that bad

i know how you feel, i slacked like shit in my old school, and got crap grades at GCSE (uk 15-16y/o exams) now im at a college working flat-out all day, every lunch i have either a 1/4pounder or 1/2ounder and its cos you're working so hard that you just need it, then you dont need it you're just into the ahbit of having it at the same time everyday.

im like just over 5'10" maybe 5'11" - 137pounds size 30-32 waist etc.. but im only 16 now. but im sure the food will make my weight shoot up real quick.
