So I'm 6'7", 165lbs. Every single one of my past gf's have given me shit for my weight. It went as far as being abusive emotionally. (They had other issues going on.)
I have always wanted to bulk up, and now I'm about to start, but how do I make sure I'm approaching it with a healthy mindset? I worry that I'm doing this as a direct result of emotional abuse. How do I know I'm lifting and eating for the 'right' reasons?
You can't really.
Do you feel control over yourself when you eat?
Wtf
Yup.
I don't have an earing disorder or anything. I can discipline myself to eat whatever I need to eat or drink.
I obviously have a body type with an insanely high metabolism, so bulking is gonna require about 4k calories a day, according to most of these calories calculators. I probably naturally eat like 2500 a day if I don't think about it and just eat when hungry.
I'm 5'9 and 190lbs. How do you weigh that little and be fat?
How is it even possible?
Also there is no such thing as "the right reasons"
What you should really be doing is asking yourself "What would motivate me to push myself the hardest every single fucking day."
For me, I found being able to keep up with/surpass the boxers at my local gym motivation enough.
You type like a bitch, so you're probably not a fighter. Maybe you would like running or bodybuilding. Aim to be the best. Even if you fail at being the best other people will cry bitch tears when they see that you're better than them, even if you were a joke mere months ago.
The right mindset is the one that makes you take what you want.
Count your calories, it will put into perspective how much you're eating and how much you should be eating. Remove the word 'metabolism' from your vocabulary (at least in the context that you're using it right now). You just have a high daily caloric expenditure because you're tall. Metabolic variations in calorie requirements are marginal at best for 99% of the population.
The hell are you doing to stay so slim op? I can't lose weight for the fucking life of me. And although I have a a decent amount of muscle mass I'm a fucking fatty that can lose this shit.
>6'5 340....I eat a damn carrot and gain 2 lbs.
He's not fat dummy
you don't eat 2500 a day at 165 you lying fuck. i'm 6'7" as well and 229 and i eat ~2k
Think about this though. Even if you were improving yourself for negative reasons at the start, the net gain is positive. I see no issue with rage lifting as long as down the line you shift more to doing it for yourself.
Eat ice cream every day. Drink a gallon of milk a day.
For example. Here's a picture when I used to work at a casino....my fat distribution is fucking all in my lower body...what do I fucking do to lose this shit?
>having a slow metabolism
kek I'm 6' 160 and I eat close to 3k every day.
what is on your head? and why
I was working a circus where the theme was mask.... security had to follow the theme. They didn't have anything less gay.
shooshoo
>insanely high metabolism
bait
>metabolism rates don't vary throughout humanity
ok
>2500 cals a day is "insanely high"
>This isn't even my final form.
i mean im bulking on 2500 @ 5'9 143
Bait

i live a very sedentary life style besides lifting 2 1/2ish hours 4 days a week
>@ 5'9

>It went as far as being abusive emotionally.
are u a bish?
Why would you even say that?
Maybe the problem with your gfs is that they tried to be nice about dating a skele who obviously has an unhealthy body image and relationship with food and then you were a sad cunt and pushed them away. Maybe its you user, you sound like a bitch who cant/wont take care of themselves properly and runs to the internet for ideas or viewpoints that agree with you. Nice job of blaming women faggot, now eat big to get big, eat clean, get whey and mass gainer shakes and shit to give your "high metabolism" something to work on and start realizing your mentally fucked up too. Cant lift mental gains bro- get healthier all around.
Hahahahaha how is being dyel even real hahahah nigguh just gain more weight like nigguh eat more food.
you have plenty of fat in upper body too fyi
I used to be 165 @ 6'5". I'm 235 now, there is hope.
Also stop being a faggot and get over the "emotional abuse".
"Metabolic rate does vary, and technically there could be large variance. However, statistically speaking it is unlikely the variance would apply to you. The majority of the population exists in a range of 200-300kcal from each other and do not possess hugely different metabolic rates."
