>workout for 8 months consistently>go from 140lbs to 175lbs >stop working out (aside from cardio) for 2 months due to travelling, work etc.>already down to 160lbsI'm sorry but I legitimately don't understand how fat people exist. The moment I stop stuffing my face with food and working out for strength I immediately lose weight, Do people just consume a gargantuan amount of sugar drinks and sweets?
>>74762522>not having serious mental issues that you cope with by binge eating
>>74762534I deal with them by living as a recluse for weeks at a time and starving myself until the problem I have is resolved. Eating anything while under stress just makes me want to vomit.
>>74762522>Do people just consume a gargantuan amount of sugar drinks and sweets?Yes. A massive surplus of overprocessed genetically modified food is available to almost everyone 24/7. It's literally like you can press a button and be hand-delivered an extremely physically addictive and instantly satisfying drug, so whenever some fatty is depressed or bored or anxious or literally doing anything other than being productive, they'll probably start eating some of the most caloric dense and craving inducing food to ever exist on the planet.

>>74762618>>74762643No wonder every other dipshit nowadays has diabetes or cardiovascular problems.Add cigarettes and it’s an early death combo.
>>74762522>work out for 10 years consistently>from 59kg to 79kg>force myself to have 3 meals a day>enjoy my leangains that go up to 0.5kg muscle a year>get sick with bronchitis for 3 weeks>down to 64kg>8 years of progress gone
>>74762784Yep, I understand completely. My stomach hurt at some points because I was forcing myself to eat, all for nothing. It's so fucking frustrating. I got some new clothes 3 months ago that looked amazing on me and they already feel baggy. Fuck this gay earth.
>>74762784>8 years of progress goneNot really though. You're leaner and stronger at that weight than you were before and it will be way easier to get back to the weight you were at
>>74762522>get anxiety>eat, feel betterthis is how, or>get sad>eat, feel betterit's like a drug addiction that feeds into itself.

>>74762784Muscle just doesn't disappear in 3 weeks. You lost FAT
>>74762522I would just eat a couple big plates of pasta or fast food and already reach my TDEE. If I ate any snacks (which I usually would) then I would easily pass it. 500 extra calories a day is 1lb a week. 1 year and it's 50lbs.
>>74762557You're fucked but in the opposite direction
