I have $600 in shave soaps and brushes. Which can only be used with a razor to shave. I super enjoy shaving it's relaxing.

Biking to work is impractical, there's on,u two spots on each bus and if it's full your out of luck, work won't except the I had to wait for the next bus that's why I'm hour late excuse. I'd be fired after 3 days.

My doctor said given my body shape, 211 pounds would be unhealthy. Which is why I aimed for 240ish which put me at size 42 waist. I don't enjoy any physical activity at all.
I can't afford to do special diets. I have 18 a week for food, depending on how much. Made the month before( hours change a lot) I can't eat vegetables either besides peas and green beans, all others make me vomit. Pretty much limited to cheap processed foods or sterling to death.

I can't afford to pack s lunch to work and I don't get a lunch anyways just a 10 minute break. Protein shakes are expensive, my grandma gets them and even the cheap ones are processed and expensive.

What's a fiend.

I drink lots of water. It's boring though.

I should really just kill my self. I wish I'd never been born. Poor people shouldn't be alive we just burden the system end suffer

I knew you'd poo-poo everything I said----so, it seems you just wanna whine, and not do anything, to change it.

If you can afford 600 dollars worth of shaving stuff, you can find a way to afford things, to help your physical appearance----like, if there's only two places on the bus for a bike, get a folding one, that you can put on your lap, or hold, if you have to stand.

Also, if veggies make you puke, just eat an omelet with meat and cheese, for example, for breakfast.

Your doctor's on Crack, if he/she said that----again, according to the BMI formula, 211 would STILL make you overweight (that's at 6'3" - cuz, again, you didn't say, exactly), and thus, hard on your heart.

I didn't say to pack-a-lunch----the sandwiches I listed, were for your DAYS, OFF.

If you don't know what a fiend, is----look it up----you're on the Internet, GOOGLE it!!

I'm not gonna respond to your saying you wanna kill yourself, cuz that seems to be your go-to expression, to get attention, seemingly.....

*******************************************

@Retro: That "After" shot makes you look WAAAAAAY different, and MUCH better----EXCELLENT work!!


What you call whining others call logistics. What you suggested might be logistical possible for middle clas but not for me on my income. My months food money is less then a middle classes week budget.
I didn't buy it all I've gotten it as gifts, other stuff I bought every other month or so for $15 each. Over 3 years it added up. I'd sooner go to the gym then bike. I've tried biking few times over the years and I hate bikes. Really don't get how anyone does it. I rode bike every day to school back in high school, rode them everywhere, always tough never got easier and suspect uncomfortable seats and left me sweating and smell(work would send me home and penalize me)

I can't have cheese before work. Or even night before. It makes me sick. So cheese meals are limited to days before I don't work or if I work next night. 6'3" but he's not on crack. Humans have different beady shapes and types. So what's good for one person isn't good for another. Military didn't think me going down to 211 would be healthy either and so we're going use a different system to qualify me rather then simple get to this weight.

Think what you want but I wanna die most days then you and others tell me I need to stop doing one of the only two things in this world that keeps me going. Soon it'll be the only thing as the only guy who plays games with me is joining the army and will be gone.
So hearing give ups the only thing that keeps you going or get use to being alone y. But forever doesn't make me feel good. I wouldn't expect you to understand. My life is horrible and pointless. It always has been and I guess will be. I try to enjoy what little I can which is shaving every day.

Also it seems unfair that women fatter then me are still pretty and have no problems finding love and don't get told to lose weight. No instead we have public info campaign to educate people that there's nothing wrong with women being bigger and not skinnY. But that's life I guess, always unfair.

You look average to me.Not ugly or drop dead gorgeous.It does help to lose weight,and believe me I know how hard it is for some of us.The pudge just seems to stick like glue.Im very active and eat healthy,yet it's still there.The only way I can loose weight is to eat around a thousand calories a day and just lean meat and veggies.Its just to hard to stick to a diet that restrictive.
I think that a longer hair style would help balance your face out better.My daughter cut mine really short once and it made my face look fuller.It was not a good look for me.Its on my drivers license and I can't wait for that one to expire so I get a new photo.You have all your teeth which is a plus,you could invest in an over the counter whitening kit to make them brighter.

I'm just going cut my food in half, then try cutting that in half eventually.
Next time gym does $1 sign up I'll join and try, it'll probably be a wast of $41 though as my motivation sucks. Some days I don't leave my bed if I'm not working. So getting myself to get up and take bus for hour to use gym for hour or so will be hard. Other thing is I gotta buy gym clothes which if you shop for them aren't cheap. $45 for shoes, $30 for shorts or pants. Gotta get shorts/pants that let me have belt, maybe I can just try to wear my slacks. I just wanna walk on the treadmill.

I cut my own hair. The biggest guard they sell is 1" I let my hair grow out but then it starts to get too long and I need to cut it leaving me with the only option of 1" :(
When I cut it , lady at work said it looked nice. Most thenother guys similar have short hair.

Here's few weeks ago when I had longer hair.

Yeah last year he looked normal.

Are you using a wide angle lense Sly? If you want to eliminate the fisheye effect get someone to take your photo from far away while the camera is zoomed in.

Last year I had iPhone 6, this year have iPhone 7plus. Both using their front facing selfie camera.

/\ OMG, you have an iPhone 7, and are talking-about getting gym clothes!! You have NO idea what "poor", IS----you only know: "I don't have", "I can't do", "I want"! ! Tell me about being poor, when you have to wear pants, held-together with duct tape, because you can't afford new ones----or, haven't been able to visit WP, because your electricity's been cut-off, for non-payment (these are just a couple of things I've posted about myself, before).

I'm SOOOO DONE, with this conversation!!

I agree with Campin_Cat. I can't believe you own an iPhone and are too poor to afford real food, especially if it means eating less. And preparing lunch isn't about affordability, but timing. You are full of excuses and I hate saying it to people but feel it justified in this case - you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and get a grip because you aren't doing yourself any favours. It would put any girl off a relationship with you. Take a look at yourself and think, "F*ck it, I want change, I've had enough. I will do what it takes. I will find a way."

You're average, not ugly.

Most people are average. That's why it's called average.

Yeah.....I can go on a subway train, and find that at least half the people on that train are less good-looking than you are.

None of them will kill themselves.

The point of contention here isn't simply him owning a phone. The iPhone 7 is one of the higher-end models in terms of price.

If he just wanted a phone for emergencies, he could have bought one 10 times cheaper.

The phone could have been purchased for him by a family member.I don't think people should feel guilty about a gift.My family bought me an IPad 2 when they came out.No way could I afford one,and I'm not going to feel bad about it either.

You could go for more of a mo hawk like style with sides shaved and if not as extreme as that just maybe shorter on the sides would look good, or just buzz it all but just go to a hair place or something they can be pretty cheap and even things up so it looks good...and maybe don't wear that color of shirt you should go for darker colors. That looks better with paler skin and dark hair than things like yellow or off white. Otherwise I don't see anything wrong with your appearance.

I have dark hair, pale skin and freckles and usually wear darker colors the lightest being semi-light grey, I do have a couple white band shirts but they certainly don't look great on me they have some darker stuff on them so its not quite so bad but I probably wont get anymore that color.

Here's me after I lost some of my fat ( I won't say weight as I mostly just gained muscle to replace the fat and stayed about same weight) and although the pictures might not be similar enough, they can show how much difference losing some fat can do, not saying I still would be especially handsome or anything :P

Going to gym and picking the healthiest options you can with your budget would definitely help you achieve your goals. 3 times a week is plenty enough for gym training sessions too so it shouldn't eat up too much of your precious time 8)

Well that would be quite an expensive gift. IPhone 7s are about £500+. I think it's more likely he has it on contract, which is an expensive contract. I also assumed it was a contract as he upgraded it.

My iPhone5 was a giveaway from my uncle who's working in Melbourn, from his contract "leftover" (he gets the newer model and gives me the older as gift, good deal for me).

But I wouldn't buy an iPhone myself, I would buy an Android device instead.

Frget about protein shakes.

Eat chicken and veggies for.breakfast and dinner if you can. All you need is one serving of three different veggies a day.

Can you eat fruit? Buy in bulk from the farmers market, one trip a fortnight, it'll be cheaper there.

Ever tried nuts? Buy a pack of almonds, $15-20 for a months worth, its worth it.

Eat 10-20 a day.

Can you carry a small bag around at work? If so, buy a small messenger bag to put on upur shoulder. Pack your lunch and eat quickly whenever you've for nothing to do. Eat in small bits at a time.

Pack your fruit and almonds.

Put peanut butter on your sandwiches, only a very small amount, one jar should.last you a month this way.

Google cheap ways to eat healthy, did you know it's possible to feed a family of four for dinner on just $5?

Give up soda, if you drink two cups a day, start drinking one, then 1/2 a cup, then stop.

Drink one glass of milk a day.

Buy a pack of one a day multivitamins, $15-20 for almost a years worth (200-300 pills). Again. Worth it.

Buy all of these slowly over the next two months. Buy the fruit last or they'll go rotten.

Once you have all these foods, eat them everyday for a month and jeep buying more.

Use myfitnesspal and eat no more than 1,200 calories.

Forget riding bike, go for a 15 minute walk around the neighborhood every afternoon, every day. Play your Nintendo or on your phone while you're doing it, watch out for cars! When you're ready, add 5 minutes to your walk.

Hate to poke at your self-hate bubble, Sly, but you're not ugly. Nice eyes, warm smile, good hair... You got stuff going for you.

People get off on overweight being a detractor-- I can't say much. I've actually seriously dated four people in my life. Three of them were overweight and the other one was extremely short.

At 5'7" and 175 lbs, I'm showing the effects of five pregnancies, four live births, impending middle age, sedentary living, and drowning depression in cheese sticks, cotton candy, and Coca-Cola myself. I still work hard and it's fat over muscle, but I'm chubby around the middle and in the face and generally starting to look like a middle-aged Scot.

If the extra weight bothers YOU, the best advice I can give you based on my experience is MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. You don't have to join a gym and get ripped. Just MOVE. Whatever movement makes you happy-- walk, jog, swim, hike, save up $20 and get yourself a Goodwill bike. Whatever. The key is that it's movement you ENJOY. You'll keep doing it, and it will make you feel better whether it takes any weight off or not.

I've never gone in for strenuous exercise. What I did used to do, 30 pounds (and one long-ass serious episode of depression, several drugs, two pregnancies, and one live birth) and 7 years ago, was walk. I walked and walked and walked and walked. And gardened with 100% human power and did most of my housework the hard way.

I didn't do it for weight. I did it for fun, and for my goddamn mental health. I quit because I'm the only one in the family that enjoys it, and somewhere in the last episode of depression I "realized" that all my time belongs to my husband and his family and that it's selfish and unfeminine to do things simply because I enjoy them and the fact that I used to do that was probably part of the reason his parents hated me. I'm starting to think I'd be a happier person if I stopped "sneaking" pleasurable activities that can be dropped at a second's notice and started walking again.

I've got a harder piece of advice for you, though. The biggest trouble I had with all the people I dated was their self-hate. I mean, I have my own, but. Compensating for someone else's self-hate is HARD WORK. Two of them never wanted me to be away from them and never wanted me to talk to anyone else, for fear I'd find someone better than what they thought they were and leave. I liked them a lot, but I couldn't abide being kept caged and chained, and ultimately it drove me out of the relationship. The other one wanted a gorgeous, socially perfect alpha-female so he could prop himself up by association and constantly insulted me and cut me down because that wasn't going to be me EVER. Ultimately he dumped me with a tirade of insults-- best thing he ever did for me, because I would have unhappily spent the rest of my life trying to be good enough for him.

If you do ANYTHING to improve your odds with women, teach yourself to like yourself. At least a little bit more than you do.

The world is full of women. They're not all the "alpha-women," but if you want my opinion the alpha-women aren't always the best ones to catch. I've seen a lot of them come... and GO. The alpha-women, conventionally beautiful and shiny front-runners of the social pack, are usually the ones that will throw you to the wolves for a perceived upgrade or for that matter just for novelty's sake. They might put out, but they tend to not be the ones who stick around when the s**t hits the fan (and EVERYBODY'S s**t will hit the fan sometime). The women I've seen stick are the "second-choice or less" girls-- the plain girls, the chubby girls, the shy girls, the tomboy girls, the 'other' girls. The "beta-and-lower girls."

Just a thought from an omega female LOL.
