I know I'm being a dramatic faggot but I can't help it, I can't really gain weight that quickly can I?
TL;DR Is OP going to starve himself tomorrow?
Eat more doesn't mean to eat like shit you fucking retard
>>27423586
I know I have been eating more. The doctor visit was a while ago.
Maybe you misunderstood, I had a cheat day basically. I just don't like calling them that
Having gone from 224 lbs to 146 since October, I know this feel. I'm only 5'2 though so I am a lot bigger than you were.
I haven't eaten anything today because I'm so utterly terrified of gaining weight. I hate the feeling of having food in my tummy, makes me feel like a fat little pig. I like to be empty.
Best of luck, op. If it helps I doubt what you ate today would be more than 1000-1500 cals so you shouldn't gain anything.
>>27423621
What in the fuck don't you understand from my post? You are like shit and suffered the consequences and are scared you're going to get fat again. Solution? Don't eat shit and you'll be fine
>>27423729
I exercise a lot so I hope not although you should be eating anon
Even if it does make you feel bad, I used to be like that and the doctor said my temporal muscles were dying and that's why I was dizzy all the time
Eat enough to not be malnourished

You only need another 3lb to reach normal weight. Go to /fit/, start lifting. With noob gains it will probably take about 2 months to build 3lb of muscle (and 3lb of fat at the same time).
>>27424476

>>27423547
how the fuck did you lose weight so fast
>>27423547
What did you look like at 215? Am curious because I weigh that much right now, having come down all the way from 345. Also 5'11
I've shrunk a ton but I'm still incredibly flabby, Im starting to worry that I've permafucked my body.
Alright, OP.
3500 calories in excess of your daily needed intake is what it takes to gain one pound of fat.
You had a cheat day. You don't need to starve yourself. If it gives you that much anxiety, allot your calories and track your intake. You'll get an idea of how much wiggle room you have to spring for something high cal each day.
If you really feel bad about how you ate recently, just get some exercise. Walk it off, mang. The more you exercise, the more you burn, the less you have to feel bad about how much you eat.
>I can't really gain weight that quickly can I?
No, not really. I've been eating 3000 calories for a couple of weeks and I'm still the same weight I was when I started. It takes time, for some more than others.
>>27425233
I cut out all the shit
Absolutely zero food that wasn't necessary, ate less than 50 carbs a day
Started doing pushups and sit ups everyday
>>27425332
Had some man tits, could only see tip of penis, sweat a lot
>>27425433
>>27425456
Thanks guys it really helps <3
>tfw shitty appetite
>tfw can't gain weight
I'd probably be like an inch or so taller and pretty built if I had eaten properly as I grew up. I never understood how people have trouble not eating; it's literally doing nothing.

Anon this is OP
After dieting for so long I ate one carrot cupcake my aunt made that had sweet cream cheese frosting on it
I got a boner immediately and had to go in the bathroom and jerk off
>>27423547
>Used to be 345
>Down to 220
>See this thread
>Didn't even realize there WAS 85 pounds to lose at 215 pounds
Jesus, I thought 180 was like, the end game.
But yeah I know what you mean, once you get used to eating less eating more can be scary. You lost a lot of weight so you must have learned to read labels and be calorie conscious, so you probably know your TDEE. 3500 calories in a pound in excess over that, you know the drill. You know how fast you can gain if you really stop and think about it.
>6'2"
>300
>lose 80 in a very short amount of time without changing my diet or excercising
Turns out I was undiagnosed type 1 diabetic and my body was destroying itself! Lmbo
>>27425896
To be 100% honest I've never truly looked at calories, only started about 2 weeks ago
I just cut down carb intake by 99% and stopped eating before I got full
Also started eating breakfast
>>27425972
>Lose 85 pounds in a few months
>never truly looked at calories
Well, I hate you then. Good job, though.
>>27426008
Nah dude I didn't need to
That's goes to show how much I cut down, I was eating the bare minimum
This is a normal day for me now without counting calories
>Breakfast
Plain Yogurt with Chia seeds
Serving size of plain rice krispies cereal with a bit of whole milk
Coffee
>wait about 1.5hrs
>exercise
>One slice of toast with peanut butter and cinnamon on it
>wait about half hour
>Large baked salmon filet
>wait 2 hrs
>exercise
>another slice of toast followed by coffee
And the whol day I'm drinking plenty water
>>27426152
You want some toast with your peanut butter, familia?
