When you stopped caring about staying in good shape?

I completely stopped caring about 2 years ago, I realized I was never going to do anything with my good look and that I will never get into a relationship in my life, so I just figured out "what's the point then, I'm already invisible to women?" And I don't care about my health tbh...

Since I don't have kids or my own family I could just disappear and nothing would happen. No, I'm not thinking about extreme stuff to end my life, I just stopped caring and now eat a lot and drink.

If I'm going to be alone and feeling sad, at least let me eat something good and greasy. Still, I'm just 100 KG at 34 years old right now, just skinny fat... For now.

I've actually started caring more now than before.

I never quit never quitting. I lead from the front as an example to everyone but mainly my children. Your body is your ship to travel through this reality. I want the most functional vessel possible that’s ready for all eventualities. I have dysmorphia and I’m not sure how I look but I don’t care. Not caring (and selective caring) is one of the most powerful tools you can have in this existence. Honestly though, you sound maladjusted. Significance and happiness cannot be derived from other people and your attitude about it is uglier than 200 extra kilos will ever be. Start loving yourself and develop some goals for you and you’ll likely find an entirely different reality. And this is coming from a place of love, one bridge troll to another, ya know? 😉

No. And I will never have children so it makes even less sense to me. Goals for what?

You wanna know my secret? I never cared about staying in shape...

I think it was about 2005 when I stopped caring about things in general.

A little different in my case. I started intermittent fasting last year and lost some weight to get to my ideal weight for my height. I was probably 10-ish lbs over before I started. Now that I'm skinnier and able to maintain it because of IF, I also lost some muscle mass, at least visually. What I hate with being skinny is upper arms get too thin and all my shirt sleeves look big as I can't fill them out. Since I'm too lazy to go to the gym to get my biceps/triceps bigger, I gave up and just accepted my skinny arms and legs. At least that's better than being overweight as I get older.

How could you say something so controversial, yet so brave?

As a fat dude, I assure you, being fat sucks. It gets expensive; "enough" food for a meal slowly creeps up, your feet hurt all the time and can increase in size (making it harder to find shoes that fit, which are generally a higher starting price). A lot more health issues can crop up and can be harder to treat properly. Lack of energy is fucking awful.

I haven’t given up yet. I’m 41 and while I often ignore it, I always come back to moments of caring about my body.

I know for a fact I feel better when I work out, so I can’t stop or life just gets worse and worse.

Those women don't deserve you. Live your life for your own enjoyment. But keeping a healthy weight is important to enjoy your later life.
