Hannibal and Phoenix; no, I haven't looked into an appetite suppressant. I haven't done any research on them. I've always been told all my life that any form of diet pills are a scam and don't work. If a pill could make you not want to eat, wouldn't there be no fat people?
Repo, I've done nothing for my mental health.
And SamuelRoberts, no I haven't been checked for sleep apnea. I don't even know how to go about it cause obviously I'd need to be monitored while I sleep, probably for more than one consecutive night.
Yesterday I weighed 298.8 and this morning I weighed 301.8. I didn't leave my room yesterday. I hope the spike in weight was cause I was inactive.
(Just went back a few pages and saw that Samuel posted a list of sleep clinics in Japan. Now I feel like a fucking dunce. I'm going back to page one and re-reading every post before replying again.)
Yeah, get that checked out. That's really the first thing you need to start with because if you have it, your weight loss attempts will be far less effective.
I'll try to avoid overwhelming you with advice, since god knows you've got enough of it. But I'd like you, if you wouldn't mind, to talk a little more about your lifestyle. In my original post I brought up the question of why you're fat when everybody else around you is skinny. This isn't a dig on you, mind, it's an honest question. I know why Americans are fat: we eat a diet of shitty processed food (as opposed to the relatively healthy meals you can buy at any conbini), heavy on vegetable oils, and we don't walk or do any exercise at all. But if you're in Japan, you should be getting plenty of daily exercise just by the fact that you've gotta go from point A to point B, and you'd have to put in a lot of effort to find food there that's as bad as the average American's diet.
I know a guy that manages to put on weight when he's in Japan, but he does it by living off a combination of heavy western-style cooking, ordering pizza hut every other day, and never leaving his apartment except to pick up girls to fuck. Dunno anybody else who does it.
What's the deal? Are you just enormously hungry all the time, so even if you're walking it's getting overwhelmed by the massive amount of pastries and chocolate that you're eating? Do you work at home, and so you've got no reason to ever go anywhere?
Until people know what's going on, most of the advice you get here is gonna be generic, and thus a lot less useful.
