370 to 228; still need to get past plateau

First of all you are continuing to do great. Second I really don't see the moobs beneath the t-shirt. I believe you that you have them. I dated a guy once who had them. He had never been overweight. He just was born that way. You couldn't see it in a shirt but naked you could so I understand.


Second:


The other big negative is about me. Aside from the fact that today I ate more than I usually do (I ate a 'normal' amount of calories for someone losing weight, which is way more than a typically ate and it makes me feel like a pig. I hate like 1900 calories today as opposed to my typical < 1000 calories under normal calorie consumption levels. It just feels like I ate too much, even though I know it wasn't. It depresses me.


I totally get this. I bet a lot of people on this forum could express the same feeling. It is really difficult to understand and figure out how not to feel fat for just eating normally. I don't know the solution but if anyone has it I'd be interested.


Keep up the good work and keep your chin up. You've come a long way and should be proud.
 
Hey Rocky,


Thanks! The moobs are definitely there :).



I know I am proud of myself because of the way I carry myself and the confidence I have just talking and 'existing' now. Although I don't actively think about that, I do actively think about the fact that I still have a ways to go and that I'll never be 'like that guy walking by' etc. And that's when I start to feel really sad and like I've accomplished nothing.
 
Been doing pushups every night still.

Been running.

Been eating more food (X_x)


Down to 220-222 depending on how the scale feels about me (aka time of day).
 
WOW! I can't believe the difference in your photos! You are a really good looking guy, and I know how you're feeling. I haven't lost as much as you but would always see how much I still have to lose rather than how much I have already lost so felt like I haven't accomplished anything. But seriously, LOOK at your photos! You're a spunk! And if the "moobs" are concerning you so much, go speak to a surgeon about it. I'm having a boob job in 7 weeks and 3 days! Which is why I got on my diet in the first place - didn't want to be fat with big boobs! I haven't reached my goal yet but still going a head with it.

lol thank you! Im actually a little less worried/mindful of my moobs now -- I started doing 3 sets of 40 pushups a day (twice a day) and my chest tightened up a bit and gained a manlier look to it. They're still there, but they're almost like a workout looking chest now, which is more acceptable! And thanks so much for the compliments!
 
Just got back from a 5 day vacation. Ate like a pig and totally not healthy. Doesn't depress me or anything, but man what work I have to do to undo this damage lol

Wow is that 240 pushups a day? 3x40x2?


That's crazy commitment, I'm glad you're happier with your appearance you most certainly earned it, I'm still on a pathetic 15-18 pushups before I collapse, I've slacked with my weights. Like you I had a plateau not long back, I had 3 weeks of no drop and high amount of effort, I seem to have bounced back and I'm 201lbs now, so it's really just something you have to power through and believe will work despite confliciting evidence!
