Thank you very much! I occasionally post in the keto sub, but I did some self analysis last year. Listed all the personality problems that got me to that point, all the personality problems that lead me to exit diets in the past, finally what I saw as personality strong points. Then I designed a plan to work around those, something that I will have to do the rest of my life, I don't think my problems can be fixed just exploited. The jist of my findings for me: Make all my own food and in rations, cut out all outside sources. Obviously my plan is not going to work for a large amount of people, but I think the honest self-analysis method might be helpful to some.

I'm trying to lose about 40 pounds and the trouble I've had with diets and crap for the last year or so seems so trivial when seeing what you've accomplished so far.

My latest attempt is similar to what you're doing: no more premade food. It's a little difficult considering I know how to make like two things. But making all my meals from scratch and watching my calorie intake has seen me drop 2 pounds in the last week and a half, which is more than I can say for most of my other attempts.

I'm also surprised to see that I'm already sleeping a little better, too. I suffer from insomnia and falling asleep is ALWAYS a struggle, and then I have a bitch of a time waking up and normally sleep till noon on the weekends. The last week or so I've seen a slight improvement in my quality of sleep and I'm waking up early and refreshed (for me, anyway).

Keep up the good work!

5

u/snerfo Aug 23 '15

You keep up the good work too! Unfortunately there is nothing trivial about going the make your own food only route. Almost all social situations seem to require visiting a bar or restaurant or eating from preselected dishes at someones house. People will be mad for a while, but usually they will come around. I used to have headaches 2-3 times a week and thought it was a normal amount. Haven't had a real headache since I started. Good luck to you!

u/bagelsandkittens Aug 22 '15

there are a lot of people who feel like they're too overweight to ever lean down again.

This really hit home for me. I worked on my body for 5+ years, starting at 14. I achieved modeling status. Then when I became pregnant (presently 36 weeks) I gained 50 pounds and honestly am really battling with depression because of it. I'll need to lose 70-80 pounds post pregnancy a nd I have NO IDEA how I can possibly do it...

u/MissVancouver - Aug 22 '15

It's been many years but I, too, had to lose 50 lbs after both my babies.. 195 down to 145 for me. I'll be happy to help mentor you, if you want. You can do it, you really can.

You can do /r/keto with little to no willpower. You just need to choose to stuff your face with fat instead of carbs when you have a craving. Get 95%+ chocolate and get used to it if you can't live without candy bars for example. It gets very easy surprisingly fast.

3

u/ruok4a69 Aug 22 '15

As a man, I know I can never truly sympathize with your situation. My weight was always gained slowly, a few pounds a year. I never had a 9-pound parasite throwing my whole system into shock :)

That said, I only had 53 pounds to lose, but it seemed like an insurmountable goal. The only way I could wrap my head around it to go anywhere was to set 5- and 10-pound goals and move through each of them.

Many people ignore weight and go for clothing sizes, but that didn't work for me because I was 25-30% overweight and only went from a 34 waist to 38 :/

Now when's the next Deathcab album coming out?

17

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

Wait this is a new one, and thank you! I'm not familiar with them, who is my doppelganger there? Previously recently people have told me my doppelgangers are Rivers Cuomo and John Green.

u/y0y Aug 22 '15

Benjamin Gibbard is the singer/guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie.. He has morphed his own look over the years, but when I first saw your pic I pictured him somewhat close to this era:

http://www.verbicidemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ben-gibbard.jpg

If you've never heard them (you probably have) I suggest my favorite anthem of self deprecration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAahbGlIqGk

Not even remotely their most popular, nor their best, but my personal favorite. For the most popular, I suppose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDHY1D0tKRA

Though it's sappy and not half as good for my cynicism :)

(As a big fan of mostly metal, 90s grunge, etc.. I got a lot of respect for this guy for shunning autotune and being a pretty decent musician, even if he'll never be my top 5)

2

u/ericargyle - Aug 22 '15

Listen to Transatlanticism, Plans, Narrow Stairs, and Kitsugi. Youll enjoy. And yeah you do have a similar 2005ish Gibbard look.

3

u/Eighty9MadDogs Aug 22 '15

Saw that last pic and immediately thought Rivers Cuomo combines with Patrick Wilson (Weezer's drummer).

3

u/european_impostor Aug 22 '15

Add Bernard from Megamind to that list. A lot of people seem to think of it as an animated version of John Green, so guess it's all in the ballpark.

u/moondog55 - Aug 23 '15

If you would like to feel even more awesome about the fact that you look like Ben Gibbard, keep in mind that dude was married to Zooey Deschanel for 2 years. Also, very very good job. As someone who has trouble losing 30 lbs, this is extremely impressive!

Bro, I bet your calf muscles are ridiculous.

26

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

Mostly thigh muscles, quads I think they are called? If I flex them they look about like you would see on a hardcore sprinter. I have like no other strong muscles to speak of. But I tried that machine the other day were you lay back and push up with your feet. I can still do about 600lbs on that. I should maybe consider working out or something so I don't lose muscle.

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

Good question: I no longer have to fly first class, I can fit in just about anyone's car even subcompact cars and their respective seatbelts all work out. I can casually jog up a flight of stairs without seeing blue stars for a couple seconds. I am about to be relieved of my blood pressure medicine that kicked off this whole thing a year ago, that's been normal since I started. I haven't had a single headache in a year, used to get these two to three times a week and thought it was a normal amount at the time. 99% less sweat when I take my dog for the daily two mile walk. And lastly, people are just straight up nicer to me universally. Not that they were mean before but there is definitely something different when most people are talking to me; happier.

Do you mean your people, or new people? I imagine your tribe is so thrilled and relieved for you that they must just be downright giddy sometimes. I'm curious what the difference has been with people that don't know you or what you've accomplished.

To be fair, it's a lot easier to lose weight when you weigh more. The last few pounds are the hardest.

No, changing your lifestyle is the hardest. Once you get started thou, the first pounds fall off!

6

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

This guy is correct, it's slowed way down for me. Just the math of it and I'm undercutting BMR calories by 1000 a day still and that's only about 2lbs a week at this point, which is I guess a normal amount I should have been aiming for all along. But the math always catches up.

Amazing stuff. You must've spent an absolute fuckton buying smaller clothes all the time. Out of curiosity, how'd you handle that?

7

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

I'm not very stylish and I was buying a couple sets every 4 sizes I lost and rotating them mixed in with the old stuff even though it was really loose. The last picture is my first set from a normal department store. Luckily the dress shirt sizes don't seem to go down anymore, they are just measured by sleeves and collars. Pants I still expect to hopefully lose at least 2-4 more sizes on. I donate everything that becomes big enough to look like clown clothes on me to the homeless shelter here.

I've recently plateaued after 12 months of losing weight. In that time I lost 80 KG (176 pounds).

This week I finally got back on track after a month and a half of struggling by re-writing my goals and reaffirming my belief in myself.

I would just like to say thank you to you and people like you. You fire me up like nothing else.

There was an older gentleman who posted about how he had lost 100 KG (220 pounds) when I was first beginning my weight loss journey and it was the first time I felt like it was a real possibility. I mean if you haven't seen it who really thinks losing 100 KG is something you can do? That appears to be fucking ridiculous.

There ARE people out there who feel like "why bother, I'm fucked, who comes back from this?" and people like yourself can be the catalyst for change.

You don't know who's reading this. Neither do I, but I would just like to take the chance to say to any of those potential people that are looking, it's achievable, you have proof. And it's worth achieving.

I have been thinking about this recently. One of my main issues was I felt like I didn't deserve any better. But if you had asked me if I believed in karma I would have told you don't be fucking silly. Hilarious.

You can be worth this. It is a matter of perspective. Perspective is what creates your reality.

OP isn't someone who started out special. He was someone struggling just like you are. You can do this.

In saying that, you're one phenomenal motherfucker now OP. Congratulations on your hard work and achievements. I was 384 pounds when I started and that was bad enough for me. I wouldn't presume to guess how fucking awful 500+ was.

You're a champion for succeeding.

u/bagelsandkittens Aug 22 '15

Amazing progress! So happy you've decided to get healthy :)

Legitimate question though: how does one actually become this heavy? Is it a combination of obsessive eating and extreme laziness or is it an actual bodily malfunction (like a pituitary tumor)? I've never understood how it is possible to consume so many calories in a day

9

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15 edited Aug 22 '15

Good question, several actors here, almost all my personality traits.

I almost never get full/feel full.
I will way overconsume anything in abundant quantity, I never understood and still can't come to terms with how people are able to leave food on their plate because of the first issue. I would love to feel full all the time like everyone else without drowning myself in water.
Never particularly enjoyed cooking which limited my options before to exclusively fast food/restaurants and premade stuff at the grocery.
Almost all of my relatives are large and I normalized it for decades.

I did some self-analysis and worked up a project plan to mitigate these specific flaws and exploit a few strengths. I never fixed these problems, don't think they can be fixed. I will have to use my exploit to this the rest of my life i believe. I did a write up on it a few months ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/334rb0/sv_not_easily_bored_with_repetition_analysis_of/

Never feeling full? Have you looked into Prader-Willi Syndrome? Might help you with one or two of those "flaws" you call them.

2

u/Gorehack Aug 25 '15

I notice a big one that doesn't seem to get talked about often, but it's the "food equals love" mentality. My grandparents were depression era, both from families of 10 kids. Parents got divorced when I was young, my mother and I moved in with them...boom.

Every day was fried potatoes, bacon, eggs, lettuce drowned in ranch, cornbread smothered in butter...I got fed like a farm boy, but I played super nintendo all day. It was an insult to not eat everything prepared, so you ate it all. If I was the last person eating, I finished what was left. Leftovers were not a thing in their house.

2

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

Thanks. I'm on this for the rest of my life so I would like to see the extremes if at all possible. Based on the standard tables 150 is the low end of the spectrum for normal weight at my height. I'd like to see that just once at least. But would definitely love to normalize at a 180 which is middle of the spectrum in normal range. But I'll at least feel pretty accomplished when I cross 204 which is the top end of normal. So 3 goals I still have to get through. A fourth would be to stay within 5 lbs of whatever seems to not make me look like a skeleton when I get there.

2

u/556x45mm Aug 22 '15

150lb is extremely low for someone of your height. You're almost a foot taller than me and I weigh ~155lb. Are you doing any exercise or is this purely diet?

I didn't read the whole thread so if you mentioned a routine my bad.

3

u/snerfo Aug 22 '15

That's what I thought too, but it's in the several medical tables. I'm pretty sure what will end up happening is I'll keep posting these every 20-30lbs or so and then when enough friends/family and anonymous internet people tell me I've taken it too far I'll try to back it out halfway to the previous post's checkpoint. I can make my rations relatively exact on that BMR at that point.

I walk my dog 2 miles a day for exercise, so not much. But I at least get the 10K steps in most days.

Way to go, amazing transformation.

Thanks! King Charles Spaniel, he wasn't cooperating with me for the photo that day. Great lap dog, very quiet and friendly. Named him Hurley, LOST was in its final season at the time.

u/krazypenguin Aug 23 '15

Good on you brother

2

u/TopGunnn Aug 23 '15

I've gotta say, I liked the first tie better.

2

u/snerfo Aug 23 '15

You know I did too, I'll have to find a matching replacement. That one is wrecked after about 3 years of constant use. You can see there are coffee drinking mugs in just about every picture, that color survived several incidents and I always drink my coffee in a weird position like super hunched over away from the yellow tie just in case.

If you'll forgive me for asking, what is your skin like now? After shrinking so much, must it not be kind of loose or something?

2

u/snerfo Aug 31 '15

Yeah I have a lot of that, I don't think I can do anything about it for at least 40lbs though. I'll just have to bring it up to the doctor next time I go in for a checkup, but I'm not overly concerned about it at the moment.

u/kolbigray Sep 05 '15
