just swap places with me, as much as i eat and sit around all day i gain absolutely nothing

I know that feel bro, ive been an ectomorph all my life and took me forever to get as big as i am which isn't even that big. I eat like a truck but barely put on weight.

[AceThaCreator]

I was depressed for quite some time and ate a lot of comfort food and gained 20+ pounds I tried to lose the weight, lost 5 pounds but gained it back again. It feels as if I have to exercise every day or else I will never keep the weight off. It really sucks. I want to change my diet, but I've tried multiple times and I'm not sure if I'm taking the right direction.

You just gotta stay active & it doesn't matter if its biking, surfing, sports, dance classes, weight lifting or whatever, just do anything that will keep you moving.

 

Diet is just as important but both are key for getting in shape. Dont stress so much with the whole BMI crap, it's inaccurate, not everyone is built the same or has the same bone structure.

 

If you want some tips on anything fitness related PM me i work out weekly & im knowledgeable enough too, ive been doing it for years. And judging by your picture, you look fine, your far from overweight.

What's true? That I'm a fatty who doesn't bother working out?

No, I just find it ridiculous that you think you're in the same boat as the guy you quoted who can't bulk up because of his ecto metabolism (a legitimate problem, they have to eat a sh*t ton more than others to get to the same place). You literally said yourself that you can lose fat and gain muscle easily as a mesomorph, then immediately contradict yourself by saying your 'bad genetics' are the reason you're fat. Which isn't true. You probably just eat more than you exercise, and it shows fairly quickly with your body type.

You've misinterpreted my post entirely. I'm fully aware of the fact that I can easily lose weight if I had the motivation to, but I'm not and the reason could be because of my genetics.

Please try not to be so presumptous next time.

 

If you actually think your genetics are the cause of being lazy (as opposed to lack of effort) then maybe you should eat less instead of complaining about being larger? It's not difficult to comprehend in either case. I find it very hard to believe that your genetics are preventing you from getting off your arse to the extend that you put on a lot of weight. How on earth would you cope at a job that requires you to be active, or even wake up early?

 

Citing "new research show.." articles won't change the fact that you're clearly not willing to put the effort in to make a change, regardless of your alleged handicap (which you seem to have convinced yourself affects you).

 

 

First you call me fat, now you call me larger. lol dude, I'm only a few kilograms overweight, I'm not borderline obese. Presumptions. Again, you're also presuming I'm not doing sh*t about it and just whining; that is not the case.

Anyways, I don't need more explaining myself to you, argument is dropped.

Mate, you called yourself a fatty right before I posted? If you're offended by my use of the word 'fat' when quoting your dialogue then, christ, man up a bit. Forgive me for trying to be as sensitive as possible when mentioning your weight (hence 'larger') but you sound extremely insecure as it is, which doesn't actually help your case when you now mention you're only a few kilograms overweight. Why the heck do you think I'm making these presumptions when you spoke so self sympathetically in response to the original post?

 

Anyway, I concur. I'm bored of giving you the straight truth on why you are larger than you wish you were. It makes no difference to me.

I miss doing arm workouts, and I'm a walking autopsy. My left wrist has been sprained for a while, my right almost fully recovered. One of my wisdom tooth's head is almost completely gone, and it ain't even a tooth anymore... That tooth needs to fall out ASAP because I don't have the funds to go to the dentist to get it pulled.

Feeling exhausted, stayed up all night and went to work the next day......sigh......

 

Does anyone feel like you just *can't* ever be mean or blunt with people, even if the perfect opportunity arrives looking someone in the eyes and saying something offensive....

I feel your pain man. I tore a rib muscle a few weeks ago and I'm still waiting to heal so I can get back in the gym. Losing so much mass and I can't work out because a good majority of movements involves the muscle I tore, and it hurts like a bitch.

Ouch... That's horrible man. Hope you recover soon! That's one of the more active muscles in our bodies. Hurts to breathe, huh?

Cheers matey. Yeah it sucks haha, cant even lay on one side in bed either. Hoping it will heal soon since it's already taken 2 weeks.

I'm happy because I talked to my counselor and got my schedule changed to periods 1-4 for next semester. Right now I have 2-6 and it sucks having to come back to campus after lunch. I'm only gonna have 4 classes now! The only downside is having to wake up earlier for first period...eh whatever I can deal with it cause I'll get out at 11 everyday. Bring on the last semester of high school!

Feeling loanly

[Docfaustino]

The first 3 days of December. NOTE: Very jumbled writing, not in good headspace.

 

 

I tend to harp on this a lot...but it is the defining feature of my life. I have a pretty nasty neurological illness from an untreated tick bite 8 years ago. The scientific explanation for why I feel bad is pretty interesting. It' a bacterial infection (like a bug). With most bugs, you feel bad because your immune system kills the bug and also kills your own cells in the process. My condition is a little bit different. Much like a human sheds their skin, the bacteria, called borrellia burgdoferi, sheds pure ammonia.

 

Most lyme disease patients report doing badly in the sunlight. In fact anyone familiar with the disease usually think of this symptom, that's because the bug doesn't do well in heat, and when it dies, it starts spraying out ammonia...in to your body. In my case, I was bit above my chest when I was 11, so the bacteria likes to hang out in my brain and do its shedding process there. Not fun. My sister also has the condition and she got a lower tick bite, so it hides in her body and gives her physical pain. This has led to a lot of confusion about what Lyme is.

 

My biggest struggle is nobody knows what Lyme disease is despite the fact that its victims far outnumber MS or ALS sufferers. The numbers are astonishing but that's another story. The Lyme lobby never had the strength of say, the breast cancer lobby, and hence, you don't see any green wristbands being worn by celebrities. Hence, I stand alone with 3 million others but tend to get misunderstood because there is no awareness. It's like if winter sports curling or victorian furniture was your EVERYTHING, the average person knows nothing about that sh*t, so they can't relate. When I get a flareup there is a HUGE disctinction between how badly I feel and how badly I look. This is why it's called an invisible illness. So I'm going to describe how my flareup today went from my point of view and from my friends at my lunch table's point of view. This is pretty interesting, so read on and no I am not doing a TL;DR today.

 

What the people around me see: Mid conversation, I slump slightly. I look a little distant. I give noncommittal answers. My apperance and actions are identical to a typical moody teenager who is just being a little pissy, or didn't get enough sleep the night before. You know, sometimes people don't want to talk. So if I'm sick all the time, I'm in excruciating pain, but to them i'm just being quiet. I just tell them "I am in pain" they look confused for a sec and then keep talking.

 

What I see: During the time everybody sees me zone out a little bit, the room turns a bright gray color and everyone is way, WAY further away. I no longer have any field of depth in my vision so if someone seated at the end of a hundred foot room, and another person is sitting to their left by 100 feet closer, those two people seem to kind of melt together. I get bad floaters too. At the same time my consciousness is impaired so I struggle to remind myself if I'm still alive or not. I feel incredibly drunk pretty much, and there is the mother of all skin pain from the ammonia and other chemicals gushing through my nerve endings. I can't move without being stiff and I don't talk because every action takes too much mental exertion. At this point, functional thought process is a thing of the past. I can contemplate two words in my head before permanently forgetting them (strong, constant, resetting memory loss). Thinking is very difficult, just imagine you ever had to "think hard" about something. Now imagine doing something that takes no thought at all, something subconscious. I am now only capable of performing actions that are done through the subsconious brain. This is why my conversational abilities become so dismal, I think. It takes a lot of mental bandwidth to joke or flirt but very little to say hi sheepishly. So that's the zone I'm stuck in. If I could sum it up, I would say a sharp mental decline with an acute onset of depression, paranoia, fearfulness, and physical pain. But again, I'm too f*cked up from all the nerve toxin to really express how I feel in the moment so they only words that come out are "I'm in pain". So friends kind of look at me and say, "Oh, ok."

 

This has been troubling me to no end. Don't get me wrong, it's always hard to speak and it's always hard to remember things. In that sense the illness is constant. Flareups are different though becuase at that point there's no use even trying to do homework, trying to write for my blog, trying to have a conversation on the phone. Because then everything is shot. The cycle of go to school, have a flareup, be miserable that I can't function on a normal level, and then enraged that no one understands what I'm going through because to them it just looks like I'm being antisocial has built up and built up. I punched the sh*t out of my steering wheel today (don't worry it's a rental car) and ended up bleeding all over the treadmill in gym. My friend covered for me and said since it's cold outside everybody just has dry skin.

 

There's also a very real psychological element to Lyme flareups. The acute depression unfortunately leaves me with the very real fantasy of swerving my car in to oncoming traffic, or in to a field, or crashing just for the adrenaline of it. I pull away from it every time but the need to just self destruct grew and grew. I deal with these intense moodswings through heavy pot smoking and there ain't nothing wrong with that. Today it was especially bad. I called my friend and told him I am this close to moving to another country where I can receive cutting edge medical treatment and end a disease that took half my teenage years in 3 months. I told him I was furious that no one understood what I go through and heres what he said.

 

"How can you expect them to understand? They're not going through what you're going through. And you can't force it on them because then you're going to think you're looking for sympathy."

 

Got me more angry of course, but I thought about it. And finally, I smiled. Fundamentally, we're all selfish creatures, and we relate everything we learn to our own personal experiences. If no one I bring this up to has every had more than a flu, how can I expect them to know what I'm saying is real, especially when it just looks like I'm quiet? They say those who struggle the most never show it. Indeed, it's a very difficult road, but you can't expect others to know what you go through simply by telling the story. And if it's outside of their realm of understanding, you can't blame them either.

 

Anyway. Back to the main point. If I look just fine on the surface I can't be hold it against anyone for thinking that everything is all well and good. After all, I would trust what I saw with my own eyes more than just any dramatic story. Even if that story is the truth. Even if I want the truth to be understood, sometimes you have to let people be human. You can't fault someone for trying their best.

I just tought about how I was in middle school. Jesus Christ, I was a social-retard who never showered and drew GTA maps in class. Talking to girls would make me red as a lobster. Damn, I was so lame.

 

And in high school that mostly dissapeared. Thank God!
