Overweight

Evenin'

I am currently dieting, but have tonight decided to drink lots of beer and get drunk, which will probably involve also eating food later. Shame really.

Anywho, I'm 5'8 and weight 95kg, which is quite heavy but I am not noticeably large (in the sense of "oh he's a right fatty", just average man-fat I guess.) I would prefer to be of an average build, but I really don't see being large as such a big problem, and so lack the motivation to stay dieting.

Is it acceptable/normal to 'accept' being large as a consequence of great enjoyment of food/beer, or is there something wrong with me

Looks can be deceiving. Whilst I look overweight, no one would be able to guess how much I way. It'd be at least 3 stone more than they thought!

I think I am in the same boat.

Most of my weight seems to be on my legs/belly, and I generally wear fairly loose tshirts/jeans anyway, it just looks like my style.

Thanks for your input guys, any more comments would be lovely

Best of luck benjarghmin with the dieting, if you do have a beer/food binge dont feel guilty about it, just have a good walk the next day and burn it off then get back on the healthy food until the next time you want to binge

Thanks, although technically the binge was rather a pathetic binge - only ended up having 2200 calories in total anyway

Just had my weekly weigh-in and have lost 3kg this week. Pretty happy

Edit:

You have a noble passion, sir and tbh you should enjoy it!

Hah, you make being fat sound like being part of an elite club of noblemen.

Am currently on the slimfast diet because it is 'easy' as I don't have to physically do anything preparation-wise. The basic premise of it is,

Breakfast - 200cal milkshake
Snack - 100cal snack
Lunch - 200cal milkshake
Snack - 100cal snack
Dinner - 600cal home-cooked meal (instead I have a 200-300cal weightwatchers ready meal)
Snack - 100cal snack

It sort of follows the eat things throughout the day to keep metabolism up, and it seems to be working. Obviously the milkshakes can be switched for meal bars and things like that for variety.
