Ive dropped 7kgs in the last 2 weeks but it’s just from smoking way too much

r/

Over the last week I’ve been getting a-lot of compliments from friends and family on my weight loss and I just tell everyone I’ve been eating less and working out but the reality is that I have one meal a day and 12-15 cigarettes for the rest of it.

I think it might just be the stress from turning 25 and still not looking at any long term-relationships, which in my country, is a requirement to purchase a home.

I wish I had lost the weight under better circumstances.

    You can definitely lose a lot of weight from eating one meal a day for 2 weeks. If you’re like me, you’d be gaining weight. Eating comforts me when I am stressed.

    been there. losing weight from bad habits just makes the compliments feel kinda hollow, y’know? like thanks but also… not really.

    Just out of curiosity what country are you in that has this requirement for purchasing a home.

    Hang in there, 25 was one of the best years of my life, try to enjoy your youth.

    It’s a terrible habit but definitely get it! Everytime I start dieting I also seem to pick back up vaping. Not sure if I’m just trading out habits or if I like just putting things on my mouth? But man it fucking works 😂

    I remember an episode of Smosh reading Reddit stories where Damian opened up about getting really sick at one point in his life, and he dropped a bunch of weight because of it. He said he was miserable and sick and unhealthy and everyone kept saying “OH MY GOD! YOU LOOK SO GOOD!”

    This is why it is simply a cardinal rule to not comment on people’s weight or body. You simply don’t know.

    7kgs in 2 weeks? Yeah, but at what cost? That’s a whole vibe of not the flex you think it is.

    I lost half my body weight in a matter of months due to gallstones. Those “you look great” compliments are empty when it’s not healthy weight loss.

    I swear that cigarettes were the secret weapon against fat in the US pre 80’s. Now less smokers and so many obese. You have to pick your poison.
