30Bad seems to be dominated by these types of threads lately.
So you've gained weight after years of abusing your body. Cry me a river. Perhaps instead of being so vain as to focus your entire existence around your waist measurement, take a moment to be grateful for the fact that you actually have food to eat. Take a minute to remember that you are privileged enough to be able to choose health.
Millions of people in this world are starving to death, but your life is over because you think you're too fat to exercise. That'll help. Sit on the couch on your new fat arse wallowing in self pity. Or You could accept that your body needs time to heal and get out there and move your ass!
This is how fat I've gotten on fruit after two years of following this lifestyle. AND folks, this is just after I went 40 days without a bowel movement and was retaining tons of water due to extreme stress!
There's all this talk of long timers supposedly gaining weight and have troubles with fitness. I haven't seen it yet. Where are the pictures? Who are these fat long term fruit eaters? I sure don't feel fat. I could list a whole lot of fit long term fruit eaters:
Kristina Carrillo Bucaram
Freelee
Megan Mcdonnell
Teri Leventhal
Drew McCall Burke
CBraunmuller
Roziland Graham
Gina Matthews
Anne Osbourne
It goes on and on...
So instead of feeling sorry for your privileged self, find a hobby. Volunteer. Exercise. Live. Stop spending every moment of time stepping on the scale checking how much weight you've gained and be grateful for your life.
End rant.

It's true. Especially when It is truly not simply vanity weight. I feel things are much more difficult: my knees hurt when biking, my ankles ache when I stand for extended periods of time, and I have more difficulty being comfortable when sleeping (my already large breasts seem to have become a weight on my chest that hurts all the time). I just long to be back to a physically comfortable weight. Before HCLF (155- 5ft 2in) which was certainly not slim.
Any way this thread can be a sticky?
