I had a goal last year to gain a certain amount of weight and I did and im happy as shit, and this year I'm sticking to that goal except gaining more weight.
It's not much, but I've always struggled to gain weight even when I workout and eat p much regularly, and etc.. I found out that I needed to eat almost 2x as much to actually gain any weight. Say 2200 calories being my norm(I don't know the exact because I never used to count but approximate), I have to bump it up to at least 3600 to see any real progress, any less and I still don't gain weight I burn calories like a mofo. I can maintain my weight with like 2200, but if I actually want to get any weight I have to eat that much or I wont gain any weight at all.
Believe it or not it's actually hard eating literally constantly. Working out does help put the weight on quicker, but when I only workout once maybe twice a day I have to essentially force feed myself to gain the extra weight I need.
I've been slacking the past few weeks, but once I get another workout set that I'm planning to buy by the end of this month I want to at least gain back my poundage when I was sick last week(which I'm only missing 2) and then get to part 1 of 2 of my goal.
Also it's been hell actually figuring out what I needed to do to gain weight quicker and more drastically little shit like instead of having my fan on high when I sleep it's on low so I don't wake up cold(I like having a cold face, but I just dealt with it so I don't mind waking up a little hot). I never actually realized how much water I drink throughout the day and cut back say instead of 2 gallons of water down to near 1.
There are other goals in mind, but I've been very concerned about my weight especially since soon by the end of February I plan to go into the Navy, and which my last year goal was actually meet their requirements of being a certain weight.
I just wanted to say this because like I said I've always struggled with actually gaining weight in fact my entire life regardless of me working out and just eating when I was hungry. To be honest people say losing weight is hard, but I'd like to imagine from everyone losing like 70 pounds in 3 months. I've been working on this shit for a year now and I only gained I think 13 pounds. I mean I could be working a lot harder, but with school and work I can't just constantly waste my money on buying specific shit to eat whenever I want to, and it's not even about money but rather leaving in the middle of class or work to go get whatever I need.
