Then raise your calorie intake by a couple hundred per day but walk more.

Depression?

That.

A lot of the time it's just what you've been habituated to:

You NEED to go to the gym when you feel stressed: Congratulations
You NEED to binge some food when you feel stressed: You are a worthless loser fatty

Impossible, your body wouldn't even have enough energy to do basic bodily functions, you'd literally start to waste away into nothing.

As for OP, I wish I had the resolve to not be a fatty.

1500 calories a day isn't that hard if you're not dumping a lot of crap down your gullet.

So adjust your diet and exercise. Start easy, a ton of people give up because they start too hard from the start.

My body doesn't regulate the hormone that tells you when you're hungry very well so i've never had much of an appetite. On top of that I'm a very picky eater, always have been.

I think you are way more likely if you figure out why you eat, what emotion function it serves and if there is another way to achieve that same function.

Also I'd recommend water fasting for like 2-3 days, after that time your body reset some of it's cravings. It's kinda like somebody who has been drinking regularly detoxing. You get a little different cravings and hunger patterns after a "food detox".

Maybe it's tied to gut biome shit, idk.

Main things are:
1. Make sure what you are doing isn't going to kill or seriously harm you
2. Do whatever successful strategy you find easiest, don't let health bros demoralize you. Because ultimately however you go about losing weight I promise you people will tell you that you are doing it wrong.

Of course you're not going to gain anything. Stuffing your face one time isn't going to change anything. You want to gain weight, do that every single day for a week or two straight.

Even if he wasn't tall 170 is hardly fat.

You'd probably tell me I have an eating disorder if you knew how I ate lol.

I wouldn't try to diagnose you with anything, but it might be a conversation worth having with your doc and maybe a nutritionist I'd you want to change things.

Calier Woolam aka Doctor Deadlift had to consume about 10k calories a day in order to achieve his strength goals, gain weight, and work up to pulling his 950lbs deadlift.

Eating 3k cals for one day is the reason you stay small.

Maybe, but lots of fat people probably do. I bet I do too.

Basically if you are very overweight and seem unable to fix it, you have an eating disorder.

Cardio-based exercise. Jogging, bike riding, aerobic dance are all good ways.

Oh nevermind, I thought you had real issues.

You aren't fat at all, you might need to work on your own body image issues rather than worrying about losing the last 5 lbs or whatever.

If anything you may just be skinny fat, which can be worked out with some lifting and growing underdeveloped muscle tbh. Because 165lbs is small af.

Ah cool, I very rarely talk about this kinda stuff but. I was severely overweight as a child/early teenager and have had self esteem issues based on that my entire adult life. I suffer from bulimia and chronic depression. Are those "real issues" to you?

Bulima isn't great, you probably want to talk to somebody about that. As far as the depression goes it's a matter of severity and duration.

My main point though is that actually fat people not only have body image issues, but they have gross bad bodies, it's not enough for them to work through their self image problems, even after that if they are insanely perfect changing a lifelong habit that probably helps them cope MAYBE in 1-2 years they can like how they look.

You can probably like how you look tomorrow if you really wanted to.

That's the distinction I was making.

Just don't eat it's not that complicated bros

It's good you are honest, but unfortunately you need to be honest with people to get better. One of many things I've learned is even psychologists will not excavate your inner demons, you have to be the one who brings it to the surface and shares it, and it's unpleasant and even then there are 0 guarantees that anything will get better, but you can't get better if you aren't honest.

If it's any consolation to my blunt tone: You are a human being and human beings deserve to be happy, you deserve to be happy.
