I want to lose 100 lbs. so that I won't be seen as a big guy anymore. Can I!
Question: I want to lose 100 lbs. so that I won't be seen as a big guy anymore. Can I pull it off?
I want to lose 100 lbs. I know this sounds extreme, but I cannot stand being seen as a big guy. I posted a few times on here asking people what kind of guy I looked like and the answers pretty much confirmed my fears. I'm not interested in girls who think men should be big and manly and protect them....even worse, several girls who responded were taller/bigger and told me they'd love a guy like me because it would make them seem smaller by comparison.
On one hand, losing that much weight might make people stop seeing me as some big guy, and I could really care less if people would find me less attractive being skinny....the point isn't to find what other people like and emulate it (which is exactly what everyone encourages me to do), but rather to get as close as I can to what I want. I'll never be totally satisfied since I'm so tall and I'm bald, but all I can do is the best I can.
On the other hand, the other option (and I'm guessing, the one everyone will tell me to do) is simply to get in shape. I admit that it has its positives...obviously, it's healthier, it's more attractive in a mainstream way (though this isn't really a concern of mine), and obviously I cannot transform myself into a physically smaller being due to my basic structure. However, if I do get in shape and some girl finds it hot, I know I will feel terrible because not only will she be inadvertently confirming my negative feelings about myself (she thinks I look good big, whereas I think big and bald is unattractive), but that I worked so hard to get a body that everyone else wants me to strive for, not me. See, I'm not into all that manly protector stuff, and I know that getting in shape (not getting big, but still doing weight training along with cardio) will only encourage that image that I already hate so much.
I'm not interested in hearing how some people think big bald guys are attractive, nor about loving my inner beauty or anything like that. I just want to know if what I want to do (in a nutshell, be able to avoid being seen as a big guy) is possible.

Answers:
I really don't no who's eyes your looking through but your not big, but if you always been known as the big guy your whole life no matter how much weight you lose that wont change you'll always be the big guy
All right champ, here's what you do.
You're a big dude, so you gotta watch your calories intake. fat is unused energy, so you want to eat carefully ok? You gotta watch out for sugar. That's what the true poison is. not calories. you think this is easy but when you look closely at nutrition facts, you'll see everything has sugar: juice, fruits, milk, and because you want to get buff and not fat, you're going to have to avoid eating these, even if people tell you "oooh but fruitz r helthy". they tell you that you slap them in the face. Calories are what are going to make you bigger and bigger. of course you have to burn those calories off and calories from fat are also something you have to dodge, but you need a healthy amount of fat (found in avocados, or nuts) for your body to consume on a daily basis. You're going to want protein of course. healthy protein sources are the following: tuna, whole grain bread, cheese, and probably a nice protein supplement. I recommend pure protein shake. not a lot of calories, almost non from fat, 35g of protein (you should try to get 250g per day if you want to get big) and delicious flavours. AND NO SUGAR
when it comes to the exercise, try to work out for 3 days, and on the third day, take a day of. Go to the gym everyday, and go hard. don't go there to look at yourself in the mirror, don't go there to help out the old ladies lift a 5 pound dumbbell, you go there for a good amount of time, and you practically don't rest. you do it serious. you do your sets the right way, breathing slowly and without rushing your sets. people who rush their sets are people who don;t have the strenght to do them correctly. Not you. you're gonna start by doing them the right way so you'll only get stronger and stronger and won't have to go back to little weights because you never did exercises correctly. you know you'll do it serious if getting hefty is something you really want. you don't workout a different body part every day, evern if people tell you that. you work a lot of things, and you have to change the workout at all times, so you confuse your body and grow constantly. it's gonna hurt and your body is gonna feel sore every morning but hey, if evil aliens come invade our planet tomorrow, I know you'll be there to beat the **** out of them.
good luck, send me pics once you got the body of a terminator!
