and how you might really be one of these people dealing with it
you have not fat to speak of
just lack of muscle definition due to not bulking consistently

I don't know man, being real; ever since I first cut I got a lot of attention from women lol. It's like a never wanted it to end, but at the same time maintaining that lean-ness was hard, maintaining a "chizzled" jaw line at my weight is pretty difficult. But it just caused be to chronically become afraid of getting fat again, which 'caused me to be so particular about my body. It is pretty annoying. I wanna put on mass and I wanna be stronger, it's just that mental block in the way. And when people indicate to me that I've put on weight (like a fatter face) it really hits me

[ErikTheElectric]

Yes I have

You have it.



You have a distorted image of your self and ARE NOT seeing yourself realistically.

[sonnydfrizzy]

Sounds great then. I'm unsubbing from the log. You seem to be very happy and content where you are. Good luck with your future man and glad you got it figured out.

while I agree with your assesment that he seems happier just staying where he is rather than risking any possible unwanted fat gain that ocomes along with any real muscle dvvlepoment

if we gave up on you that easy, you would still be 130lb scaredy cat

Wow. On spread.

I'll stick around

[nostruggle]

Guys, I'm not giving up at all. I might be a little frustrated, but I want this badly. I'm gonna keep on going.

Today, I had a drum gig that was supposed to end by noon, so I could eat then but went on for about 4 hours! It caused me to miss lunch time. So I basically had one serving of cereal in the morning for breakfast (30g) and I ended up having a chicken thigh & leg with some salad for lunch at around 3:30pm. I ate my dinner (Christmas left overs: turkey, lasagna about half a cup, ceasar salad, and some ham)around 6pm, and had a bit of cake and ice cream after dinner. I feel that I've severely under-ate today, but I'm trying to cut out eating at night. I know it doesn't matter for body composition, but I'm trying to focus on eating at regular times but my day was pretty messy.

Should I eat a meal again or should I just go to bed and try again tomorrow? I have snacked on some cereal and milk.

Pictures coming soon.

SO you are trying to eat less at night, YET ATE NOTHING (1serving of cereal is nothing imo) at breakfast and lunch. You are only ALLOWED to eat less if you eat during the day which you arent doing.

YOu should be seriously eating like 1000calories before you hit the pillow tonight

Even with that cake, ice cream, and lasagna? I heard lasagna is pretty calorie dense

[determined4000]

i heard you are still 40 lbs underweight

[ShyGuyXS]

Dinner and the snack afterward are looking good. You still were in a major deficit for most of the day, though, so it doesn't quite even out.

I'd throw in another meal or at the very least a calorie-dense snack. ED will tell you not to. Challenge that thought.

[SuperHippo]

If you truly want to change you will eat a big meal now, and then not skip breakfast or lunch tomorrow, even if you are not hungry you will still make yourself, or you can still be the severely underweight, miserable, consumed by ED person you seem to be

I'm having a chicken burger with half a bun and a thick eggo waffle

ok good
what is the plan for tomorrow so that you are eating more earlier
specifically you need a better breakfast

[nostruggle]

Tomorrow my mom is cooking breakfast and I'll be having fried dumpling w/ ackee and saltfish. Fried dumpling is essentially, flour, water, a little butter etc. fried. And Ackee is vegetable that is basically sauteed with salted codfish, tomatoes, and peppers. Kind of like:



Each dumpling is like 100cal

I have church from 11am-2pm, and the most convenient thing to really eat is a patty after.
Then I eat supper around 4-5pm.

Should I just wait for my dinner, w/ having a heavier breakfast?

[determined4000]

what country do you live in?

[nostruggle]

what country do you live in?

Canada, but my family's background is Jamaican so we eat like 50% Jamaican food lol

[ShyGuyXS]

That seems like a good plan.

Having consistent, regular meals is a good habit to get into. I'd suggest you have the patty (or bring something that's calorie-dense that you can eat right after church) anyway, and then eating supper. It's tempting to skip, but IMO it's not a good idea to go 5-6+ hours without food.

In,
I took a look at the previous pages. I'd like to see how you do Hope you're doing fine!

Thank-you! I appreciate it and.. eh, it's a work in progress.



@ShyGuy

I ended up having a pretty heavy/calorie dense breakfast instead and I might be having an earlier dinner.

Guys, ever since I hit 149.6lbs my face looks a lot more fuller, but at around 140-145lbs I have a pretty defined jaw line. I feel that my face is bloated or fat, yet I'm still underweight. Is this just bloating because I upped the calories or is this just how may face looks when I'm not underweight? It looks pretty fat, especially my cheeks.

It's bloating - same thing happened to me. It will level out after some time.

okay? but you still skip a meal everyday

[determined4000]

is there a reason you eat such small portions?

[AFC96]

is there a reason you eat such small portions?

Was about to write this..

but seriously there is nothing wrong with eating small portions OP. I, myself like to snack alot, but i get my calories in.

If you are eating small portions just to avoid "calories" you are doing it wrong.

[sonnydfrizzy]

This thread makes me hangry

[nostruggle]

is there a reason you eat such small portions?

It's honestly become a bad habit since my cut. I used to eat dinner on the "side plates" to keep my portion low. So I've developed a bad habit of having half a serving of something. So if one serving of ice cream is 1/2 cup, I'll have a 1/4 cup. I know it's terrible, and I'm working on it.

I had some chicken wings, and about half a cup of mashed potatoes. Pictures coming.
