This thread is dedicated to those who have a story about getting fit then getting fat after. I was chubby through most of my childhood, single mom shitty food yatta yatta, then around 18 I realized how much looks mattered, got ripped and got constantly laid till about 24 when life threw some curve balls at me and I got legit fat (Went from 5'7 lmoamanlet 155 ripped to 240 fattiemcfat). I know most will judge but everyone deals with crises differently and I ended up drinking/eating. Did you make it through and get ripped again? How did you do it? What helped you/held you back?

I quit drinking and suddenly I had more time to work out. The weight just fell off. I hadn't realized how bad it had gotten.
i'm not fit yet, i'm currently 240lbs, my lowest was 220lbs probably like 2 months ago, and at my highest i was 330lbs, i was able to quit drinking and smoking completely a year ago, but i still battle with binge eating every day, it is truly the hardest addiction to beat, and the one that will kill you slower, at least for me it is. Ever since i was a little kid and went to other kids houses, i'd see the pantry and fridge stocked of goodies and in my little kid mind i always thought "man! i cant believe they're actually doing other things while there's so much food to eat! this wouldn't last 1 day in my house" or how the fuck the cookie jar lasted more than 1 day. Sometimes i try to find the root of the problem and honestly i don't think i ever have a "traumatic experience" like those 600lbs people always come up with, i was never even bullied that hard even though i was a chubby kid, i guess it was just negligence from my parents (they fed me frozen pizzas for breakfast before school everyday when i was like 8 because they didn't really have the time to cook) and now my mind is fucked or something.
I'm 100% certain that i've gained almost all the weight i've lost back, but i always lose it right away, that's also why it has taken me almost 2 years to lose 90lbs while some people lose 50-60 in around 8 months
I'll probably have to become a bodybuilder or something if i ever get to my goal weight just so i don't become fat again
I have a binge eating disorder. Life is pain.

just never give up brother >>42880836 even though i still binge like twice a month i'm still almost 100 lbs lighter, just pick yourself back up after every binge and you'll make it, hopefully it get's better
I started putting on weight in elementary school and kept it on until my senior year of hs. Lost 60 lbs and was happy, but I stopped eating right and working out and put on even more than I lost. It wasn't until I was 21 that I got back into it. Lost 120 lbs and have kept it off the past few years.
I vowed that I would never be that person again but sometimes I can't find it in me to keep going..
Stay strong anon. We're all gonna make it.
