Current Events > Guys am I fat past the point of no return? (pic)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I never really had weight problems until I got put on bi polar medication a few years ago, here is how skinny I was as a teenager for reference:



---

Sadly yes, sorry TC

---

You're pudgy at most, and you pull it off well.

You could always ask your doctor about changing meds.

---

Yeah, you're dwarfing that Great Dane in your arms. It's time to change your lifestyle.

---

No such thing. But you'll probably never be a lanky teenager again

Sadly we've tried that, the meds I'm on just ended up being the best ones

Granted I am more mentally healthy than I've been in my whole life, so at least I have that going for me.

---

not at all man. i know people who have lost 100+ pounds. it's a challenge but you can totally do it.

---

Just own it now.

---

No. I've lost over 40 lbs this year. If you actually wanna do it and are willing to make better life choices it can be done

---

Can't really see your weight in the pic, but you look cute anyway.

---

You look better with the added weight and beard though

---

I have a friend who litterally lost 120 lbs in 2 years. You are far from being a lost case, but I would recommend a proper diet and exercise now.

And just a little advice, if you are going to grow a beard, it looks better if you shave the hair in the neck.

---

You could probably lose 20-30 lbs pretty quickly if you put down the dog.

---

point of no return fat is when you hit the point you cant walk without shattering your shins.

---

i'm sure if you dropped the dog you would weigh less

Fair enough. But I suggest that you do not aim at being as skinny as you were in the picture(I think you were underweight). But you better start working out now than be sorry later

---

also, the longer you stay at this weight the harder it will be to break out of those habits and lose the weight.

---

Sad that youll never fit back into your wedding dress

---

You look fine to me, but also probably not the best picture to judge from.

---

How old are you TC? You definitely don't look overly fat...
I've found a good way to see the future is literally combining your parents - their genes are going to have a much bigger influence on your adult weight/figure than a lot of people realize

You look perfectly fine as you are. If you want to lose weight, it probably wouldn't be too big of an issue.

The first question I always have for these types of topic:

What are you eating?

Mostly food from whole foods. I even sometimes eat vegan food to be extra healthy but not THAT often.

Usually once or twice a month I will order some fast food, I really like the big mac from mcdonalds but I wouldn't eat that every day, or even every week.

I'm not really working out much. I usually go on some walks somewhat regularly and since I now live in Flagstaff, AZ, I've been going on more hikes but not regularaly.

I don't want to shed all personal responsibility but I was pretty skinny until a few months after being put on mood stabilizers and anti psychotics. Like I am SUPER mentally ill but luckily the medication is actually working and I haven't really had an episode in some time.

I'd say the most unhealthy thing about me is I drink beer. Not always every day but usually at least one good IPA after work and maybe once a week I get actual drunk.

I'm turning 27 in December.

My mom is comically skinny and my dad is comically fat, which is probably part of the reason why they are divorced lmao

---

Has your weight been stable for a while or are you still gaining? If it's stable I honestly wouldn't worry about it. You look fine imo.

---

Yeah I think the two things I need to do is drink less beer and work out more, I bet I could probably at least lose ten pounds.

It's gone up and down. I actually used to be fatter than this a few years ago but I drastically changed my diet and I lost a decent amount of weight. I've looked the way I look in that picture from early to mid 2019.

---

Next thing you know you'll be posting a picture of your preteen self and compare it to post 25 years old asking if you're fat.

That's normal that you fill out your frame over the years. When you start getting to chins, can't see your penis anymore then come back here.

i have to make one comment... that's a nice looking dog.
---

Yeah I would just say monitor your weight once a month or something, and as long as aren't slipping too much just do what you've been doing.

---

GOOD GOD

you look fine

---

Fat, but not some crazy whalebeast. It shouldn't be hard for you to drop, if you want.
