so i want to hear from people who have actually went from fat fuck to fit. I keep hearing how it makes your life so much better, and want some real examples of this.

Did getting healthy really help you overcome depression, addiction, ect..?? did it get you all that pussy you always dreamed about when you were a pathetic lard ass?? ANy other stories of before and after are wanted.

I'd be interested to know if anyone kind of regrets getting in shape for whatever reason. Maybe you be one of those arrogant pricks that you used to hate and now suffer some kind of self-hatred. or your new sexy body turned you into some fucking slut that you now despise your life.

you always hear about the good side of getting fit, but hearing about the negative flipside of that coin would be interesting

I learned that people are, essentially, two-faced cunt rags. When I was fat, no one would give me the time of day. Dudes were especially awful since all they were looking for was a quick fuck or something. Then when I lost weight, suddenly guys were going out of their way to speak to me. It pissed me off that there was only one guy back in my fatass days who attempted to connect with me as a person. And now that I think about it, he was probably just after pussy, like all the rest.

Yes, I'm bitter. Can you tell?

Guess you learned guys are only ever after pussy even if they seem to be your friends. Fact of life, the only people won't admit it are women and men to women.

Mostly the same, except I'm a guy.

I definitely hate fat people more now which is probably misdirected self-hatred. I have some self-loathing too for not being able to eat what I want anymore. I hate going to the gym, but I know it's necessary to be /fit/. I'm so obsessed with food and fitness now that I've lost sexual drive. Overall, I think I look better, but I'm too neurotic now to gain love.

I lost 40lbs.

What I gained was a semi alright looking with clothes skinnyfat body.

What I lost was the fantastic personality I had developed to compensate for being fat and unattractive.

Also along the way I seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession for how I look.

I've just started strength training though, I've got high hopes and it drives my self esteem a little higher every session, I'm sure I'll get /fit/ someday, when I set my mind to do something I never fail. Balancing the sleep/diet/workout is hard though. I'LL MANAGE IT

Oh man wait, sexual attraction is an important component of a physical relationship? How could I ever have guessed that? I never knew people should actively maintain their appearance so as to be aesthetically appealing. This is a total mindfuck.

Sex differentiates relationships from friendships. Of course you should be good looking to your partner.

I'm a guy currently -50 pounds and going strong. Motivation: PUSSY. Quality of life has certainly gone up. As for the negative side... I suggest not to trade old friends for new ones, instead let them complement eachother. No regrets.

As far as I can tell extreme bodybuilder bigorexia types mostly compete with other men, not to gain the affections of women. Same with anorexia. Most men just aren't aroused by that kind of skinny.

Men aren't fashion-conscious enough to give a shit about what kind of shoes you wear or whether your dress is color-coordinated or not.

Been trainign seriosuly for almost two years, lost 5 kg but put on alot of muscle.

Wasn't worth it, my social insecurities still haunt me, and now I spend more time running than at a bar getting sloshed (but at least being somewhat social).

I used to be this super skinny weakling. Really really skinny. The gross kind of skinny. Then I gained weight, did strength training, and once I reached a good weight that I was maintaining started to run regularly. Now I'm healthy as fuck, fit, and I'm more confident then I ever was. People take me more seriously, old friends are more interested in me, and I'm in a long term relationship. I'm happier than ever before.

I started training a while ago.

I'm still athletic and I still play basketball, but I look fat.

I'm also really strong.

I'm not really concerned about my looks though, I still get pretty girls, and I get to eat whatever I want. Plus I'm getting my college partially paid for so that's pretty awesome.

Basically, lifting weights was one of the best choices I've ever made.

People take more notice. Even guys who thinks it's cool to try and stare you down to psych you out. You can tell by looking at them that they are just dumbshit douchfags.

Also you can never be fit enough...ever.

Exactly, I don't hate fat people because of some prettier-than-thou shit, it's because it's disgusting in general (especially BO), shows no discipline, or any attempt to learn that there's no fucking shortcuts in life.

I vouch for that too. Somehow you start hating people that don't work out. For example a girl that doesn't want to do sports and smokes disgusts me, even tho she is what you could call at least 9/10.

But I've known some fat people who are funny as fuck and fun to hang with. And some really attractive people who were fucking asshats. Who would you rather be friends with. How can you say you hate people just because they're fat?

I personally like the ugly ducklings out there, the ones who used to look like shit but are now hot as fuck, because they seem to have better personality than the people who were good looking their whole life getting their asses licked even when they were douchebags

Personality is obviously important, and I have had fat friends in the past but they're the type that just sit around and smoke pot, I can't deal with people who solely have stationary hobbies.

I just believe that discipline is the most important trait a human can have.

Being in denial that you need change is weak.

I lift weights but my motivation isn't to be attractive to the opposite sex. I'm just a vain fuck.

Strangely enough, I'm a chubby chaser aroused by women larger than most guys are comfortable with or would ever admit to. People have a hard time believing the guy who is in decent shape would rather go for homely cow than the tarted up Paris Hilton-esque bitch.

Sup OP, lost a measly 15-16 lbs over the summer? But fuck am i getting more attention as ever. I'm also happy i get to buy new clothes and all this shit. Getting healthy helped me overcome my fear of going out and excercising or playing w/ my friends caues i'd hate to be the first to stop and rest and left back. Basically people pay more attention to me, and ALOT more girls like/talk to me. Shits great, just I want to lose more and then bulk it up. Im loving it.
>> Anonymous
confidence went way WAY up. When people did slight me, i no longer let it get to me as much because i didn't have thoughts like "it's because i'm fat and they don't respect me" chasing me.

Also, the opposite sex will become more attracted to you. As soon as i lost about 40 lbs i noticed girls would smile and talk to me more. Same sex does the same. In general people became more friendly to me. I know it sounds superficial but its true.

I wouldn't say my life did a total 180 but there were some noticable improvements.

Marijuana doesn't make you a creative musician, that's just subcultural norms telling them that they won't be taken seriously as hippie rockstars if they don't toke up.

The same kind of shit happens when baseball players take up chewing tobacco or wannabe l33t hax0rs start drinking gimmicky caffeinated drinks thinking it'll help improve their game or their shitty code.

I lost 40lbs, I'm bitter... I saw a girl at a football game that used to make fun of me when I was fat, she said I looked good, I gave her the middle finger.

Fatness ruined my self-esteem, and now it seems only ugly people want to talk to me.

Underaged B& here, well i lost 40 pounds over the summer went from 180 to 140 and im 5'7, it does make you feel better about yourself. It also makes people like you and talk to you more but if you have other things besides your weight bothering you you will still be depressed, im depressed because im gay and live in a town where they kill gay people for fun. The main thing though, Lose weight it will make you feel great.

When i was a fat bastard, i had just as many friends as i do now. I had a girlfriend when i was fat, and i was even getting some handjobs and that good stuff.

But after all of that, i lost 35 pounds and i get a lot more attention from girls now than i did then. I've had sex a ton of times and truely, life is much better not being tubby. My self esteem is high and i'm more confident when speaking.

Losing weight helps self-esteem and physical health.
That confidence will improve your personality, sense of humor, social skills, etc., creating more opportunities for friendship or even sex.
However, if you are fundamentally unattractive physically or emotionally, it may not help much...
It may take years, in fact, before anybody notices your new "fitness".

I got tubby in jr. high. About age 15, I wised up and stopped eating so much crap and started running and lifting a bit. I'm in my late 30s now and have been working out the whole time. You learn more as you go and come up with better routines and understand nutrition more, etc. There's always more to learn and that's cool; I'm interested in self-improvement and systems and whatnot.

It's fun - I like to exercise pretty much daily. I get a lot of audiobook listening done while lifting and running. I like being able to do pretty much anything, activity-wise. Always feel energetic and I'm a generally happy dude. Spend tons of time outside, most every day.

As for the female stuff; that's more complicated and based mostly on mental/emotional factors, but my past girlfriends have all said they like the shape I'm in. My current fiance' is awesome in every way and hot as hell (5' 11" ex-model, HS cheerleader).

Life is good, yeah. I definitely recommend working out your whole life. I intend to be one of those ancient guys who are exercising hard through their 80s, or as long as I can.

I'm so much of a misanthrope that if I were in the best shape in the world I would still despise any positive attention I get, shooting everyone down with stares and the occasional ass kicking that would probably be blamed on roid rage.

Wrong. I just despise you. Always did. Always will.

Went from angry antisocial fat to angry antisocial fit. Took a year. Nothing changed except the way I look, eat, and the way girls look at me sometimes. Still depressed, still lonely, bit more confident, dress better. Also feels good when I finish a workout, endorphins, etc. I'd say it was a good move all in all.

when I lost 20lbs going into my senior year of high school I felt so much better about myself. Girls started talking to me and although I had a lot of friends I felt like I knew more girls. Then when I gained around 20lbs back by lifting heavy and playing lacrosse at school, I had even more confidence. Feels good man.

I found that being in better shape made me more confident and got me more female attention and more respect from other guys.

Then I joined a kick boxing gym and found that every guy (except another fighter) is intimated by the big, muscular dude wearing a "When in doubt, Ground and Pound" t-shirt. Nothing makes you more confident then knowing you can beat the shit out of everyone around you.

Seriously. It sounds retarded and juvenile but when you feel it, you'll shit brixs.

I've lost about 40 pounds so far.

Is life better? Yes. Not much better based on fitness alone, because there's so many other things to consider. A better relationship with money(stop being a sheepish slave), social skill development(looking good won't matter if you can't say "hi", right?), etc. That doesn't mean it's all good.

There's this part that disturbs me:
The worst part is the awareness that education gives you about others. As in, you realize most of the unhealthy people around you are pretty ignorant. Watching someone suck down 350 calories in sugary drinks when you would now be drinking water. Watching someone eat 250 calories in fatty chips when you would now eat a 80 calorie apple. Having a friend fall asleep at an afternoon movie because of low energy levels. etc.

It really wasn't hard to start getting more fit.
I think most people go about it wrong. Everyone has a "how do you start" attitude. The question really isn't how, it is when...and the answer is always now. It doesn't matter what you do, just start doing it and figure it out as you go.
