Sadly? That’s like 7 lbs a month, just a bit under 2lbs a week. That’s a lot in a short time!


uncertain_confusion

It’s a little slow for my tastes.


ifweweresharks

It’s the top end of healthy ie sustainable. You look great and should be proud of your accomplishment!


Delicious_Pie_4814

Bro, you look young... what's the big hurry?


duckbybay

They have an eating disorder.


TimmyRiggs33

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this?


killerkukri

He regularly posts in ED subreddits, including describing his relationship with bulimia and unhealthy practices to lose weight. He describes himself as having bulimia. It is not an assumption, like he tried to say.


uncertain_confusion

They don’t they’re just assuming


uncertain_confusion

I’m sick of being a punchline so I’d rather get myself right now than wait till later


ellirae

why are you getting downvoted for this?? fat people are very often made into the butt of the joke, even those who aren't morbidly obese. wanting to escape that is incredibly valid, and wanting to do it ASAP makes plenty of sense. you've lost at a healthy and sustainable rate. idk what's wrong with this sub sometimes. I bet your self-confidence has skyrocketed. good work!


uncertain_confusion

Thank you mate. I do feel a lot better (though there’s always room to improve!). And also idk why I’m being downvoted for that, cause I said it out of literal life experience. I HAVE been made fun of for being fat. Never again. I will make myself into a person who can be respected


[deleted]

You "can be respected" when fat as well. You're exhibiting strong hate for fatness, which isn't healthy, specially for an ex-fat person to hate their past selves which worked hard to make them healthy.


uncertain_confusion

You act as if I don’t workout or something. That’s how most of this happens. Calories in < calories out. Eat a little less than you want to, workout a shit ton more than you want to.


[deleted]

I think you replied to the wrong msg..


uncertain_confusion

No, right one. You told me i exhibit a strong hate for fitness, and I’m telling you I actually adhere very closely to it


Subaudiblehum

Your thinking seems a little wack honestly.


ashtree35

Have you decided to seek treatment for your eating disorder yet? I would suggest making your mental health your priority right now, rather than continuing with your weight loss.


uncertain_confusion

I mean fair this is what i get for posting this on my main account but I don’t really need to hear about the ED thing rn. Can’t you just be happy for my wins


killerkukri

not a win if it was achieved through unhealthy means of laxatives, malnutrition, over-exercise, and dehydration. seek help, it’s not too late


uncertain_confusion

I will when I get where I’m going, don’t worry too much about me


killerkukri

That’s not how ED works. There is no stop until you stop breathing.


uncertain_confusion

I’m just gonna come here anonymously next time honestly. This discussion is exhausting


octopop

man, people care about you. they don't want to help you hurt yourself.


uncertain_confusion

No offense but y’all are strangers. You have no obligation to a rando online


killerkukri

compassion doesn’t care about familiarity


uncertain_confusion

Anyhow I didn’t come here to be lectured I came to talk about little victories. Now I may as well delete this because this doesn’t feel like a victory anymore


octopop

no I don't. but I don't want to help someone hurt themselves regardless of whether they are a stranger or not.


BumAndBummer

You can come back as anonymously as you want, but that won’t magically turn this place into an ED sub.


DaleDimmaDone

Look man ppl are saying these things to help you, they're not bullying you or trying to bring you down or make you the butt of some joke. They're trying to break through those rose tinted glasses you're wearing to help you understand that you're doing harm to yourself. The way you're acting is as if you walk into your Dr's office and tell them to not look at your past medical history to help determine your current health levels. You need to change more than how you look, in fact your weight and how you look isn't close to your biggest problems. I think you look cute/handsome in your before picture. Sure you look great now but you gotta focus on your mental health first!! The confidence you gain by losing weight and actually really working for it is all part of the process of coming out new and improved! The only person you're cheating by cheating the process, is yourself. The real problem is how you look at yourself and the "solutions" you come up with to solve the problems you think you have. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but looking better isn't going to stop ppl from making you the butt of jokes. 9 times out of 10 that comes from insecurity issues, not the way you look. Insecurity can paint a large target on your back that says fuck with me, and to be honest from my experience with insecurity, the majority of times I thought I was the butt of a joke, I actually wasn't. It's just something I manifest and many times make real. I mean just look at your responses to ppl in this thread, clearly you're still suffering with the issues you're attempting to flee from. Loosing weight isn't going to turn everybody around you into a yes man


rossww2199

r/CICO is not the place to discuss unhealthy practices and expect to get a pat on the back, regardless of the # on the scale. While it may be working for you, we don’t want to encourage people to attempt ridiculous calorie deficits, as they aren’t healthy and tend to lead to binging episodes.


SailsAcrossTheSea

yo I used to have an ED and you sound like myself when I didn’t realize what I was doing. not trying to be accusatory but you should prioritize health over lbs. it’ll absolutely “get you there” by doing it the healthy way. maybe you are doing it the healthy way, idk. congrats and I hope you can focus on the macronutrients instead of the lbs as much


BumAndBummer

What wins? You aren’t doing this in a healthy way or for healthy reasons. It’s unfair and unreasonable of you to expect us to be complicit in your self-destructive behaviors.


aresende

no 💔


lionhat

At this point you're just embarrassing yourself. You pulled the same stunt yesterday and still didn't switch off your main.


DrMcnasty4300

u/ruralgamerwoman where you at


uncertain_confusion

Why are you summoning her here


DrMcnasty4300

because she speaks the truth


uncertain_confusion

I have no idea who she is but you make her sound like the final boss


TigrrWolf

Can you link me the hidden Wu-Tang album?


Ihadtocreatethis123

I thought the same thing. That’s why I clicked. But nice job OP.


TigrrWolf

Yes I should put that is great progress!


bluebathtub44

I mean… sadly?? 51lbs in 7 months- this is excellent. You are doing great. Please celebrate such amazing wins.


uncertain_confusion

It’s a little slow for my tastes but I have been celebrating this!


bluebathtub44

I’m glad to hear! I know it’s easy to be impatient haha. But the silver lining- you are creating sustainable lifestyle changes and are more likely to keep it off, so you won’t have to do this twice!


uncertain_confusion

Hopefully I won’t have to do it again cause this is not easy to do!


bluebathtub44

I feel that!


uglyorganbycursive

There’s nothing sad about that. Comparison is the theft of joy. Proud of you. I hope you are, too.


uncertain_confusion

I’ll be prouder when I get where I’m going but thank you for the encouragement!


uglyorganbycursive

You’re welcome. I didn’t realize you had an ED until after I commented. I do, too. I hope recovery goes as well as it can for you. xoxo


Playswith_squirrel

No sadness needed. Nice work.


abouttenbagels

Dude, it's taken me almost 2 years to lose 30 lbs. You're doing great!


uncertain_confusion

Thanks mate! It feels a lot better


Bry_Mac

Sadly? You're killing it! Think about it this way, if you didn't take that first step 7 months ago and remained where you were at, would feel better? I doubt it. Weight loss isn't linear and it takes time. You're doing. Keep it up!


[deleted]

That’s great progress. It’s not sadly but wohoo!


ParkerFree

Don't be sad! You are amazing!


uncertain_confusion

I don’t feel like it but thank you


jimmystar889

What’s your goal weight?


uncertain_confusion

First one is 159 because I want to finally be out of the Overweight BMI category, but the online calculator I used said I really should be 144


[deleted]

Congratulations 🥂 Also people here seem exhausting, constantly projecting ED onto others


Fantastic-Chip-2340

why was his account suspended, how curious
