Hi, I’m Oscar. Yes, that Oscar. And yes, I’m fat. Let’s get that out of the way early so it doesn’t sneak up on anyone later like a surprise burpee.
I follow a bunch of fitness YouTubers and try to copy their workouts, diets, and “just wake up at 4 a.m. and run a marathon” lifestyles. Spoiler alert: a lot of that stuff is either wildly uncomfortable or straight-up unsafe when you’re built like a tank with feelings. Many exercises look great on camera but feel like a personal attack on your knees, back, or dignity.
So this blog and my social media are me documenting the real journey—what actually works for me, what doesn’t, and what I had to modify so I didn’t end up folded in half like a lawn chair. I’m not chasing six-pack abs; I’m chasing progress, consistency, and pants that don’t fight back.
If you’re fat, curious, stubborn, and tired of pretending every workout was “easy,” stick around. I’m confident that what works for me will work for a lot of fellow fat people, too—and at the very least, we’ll suffer smarter and laugh about it along the way.
