i get all that, though. i worked briefly for an exercise equipment company. they charged a lot of money for their machines. like 45-75k aed a pop. really high end shit. they had a training center too. one of their trainers there was an ex serbian olympic boxer. used to eat chicken raw. told me about how once he got salmonella and didn't go to the hospital (didn't know why he was sick, just knew he felt like death). it passed through him, but doctors said he wouldn't have lived if he hadn't been that physically strong.

the point is, establishing legit. they were legit.

anyway, HIS boss explained it to me like i was five. how our bodies are smarter than we are, how to lose weight the right way, etc etc. we didn't get into calorie counting, because if anything, i need bulking supplements.

also, i had to read and memorise this massive folder on the machine and various exercises and muscle stuff and kinesiology stuff &c &c.

i only put on weight once; between 27 and 32. first proper office job. change of climate also, went from canada to india. i don't know if that's relevant to my metabolism, but it sure fucked up my skin.

my waist went from 32 to 36. i was 36 at my fattest. i think i might have been 85 kg then. even 88.

around 32 and a half, stressful stuff happened; a number of things went wrong at the same time. i lost 20 kg in a couple of months, say between jan and march .

since then, i've gone from a 28 waist october 2013, i think. to a 31 waist to now, very recently, a 33 waist. but with the exception of the fat period, my weight's stayed pretty consistent at between 65 and 75kg since I was 17.

the phase of drastic weight shift happened before, between 16 and 17. i lost 15 kg in a month. i wasn't stressed, i just ate irregularly and smoked too much. normal shit. all the puppy fat (i had plenty) melted away.

so if i do ever get fat again, i'm not too worried. it appears to do phase stuff ever 15 years.

when i'm actually doing it right, and going to the gym, i could eat everything, forever. i remember at 26, a friend and i joined together. we'd work out for an hour and a half, then go for shisha and get shouwarmas. i'd eat 7, then go home and eat dinner a couple of hours later.

my body's thickened slightly with age, but that's about it. there's a roll of fat that disappears when i stand up, but is there when i'm sitting up in bed. my arms never changed, still look like sticks. my hip bones still protrude, and if i suck in my gut, you could play the xylophone on my ribcage.

i still don't eat regularly, or consistently, and i don't eat nearly as much as i used to, but i still more than two men in a sitting, and i still eat whatever i want, and i still don't exercises.

and i don't on weight.

maybe i have cancer.

nb: we're done with the drama part of the show. i assume you're here and still asking about it because you're actually interested in knowing, not to score a telling point, or get upboats. this is pretty deep in the thread, nobody's seeing it, or cares, and the train's fucked off anyway.

so i'll assume you're not being an asshole, and you assume i have zero reason to lie about anything, or any of this, even though it's the internet.

or if that's asking too much then you can downvote me, or ignore this completely. but don't start with the drama again. please.
