John Goodman is sure looking good these days....

Goodman looking really good outside of the suit. As a man trying to thin up, I know the pain of ill-fitting clothes.

Jonah though...that is my biggest fear. Ballooning back up to my previous weight.

I saw a very recent picture of him and it seems like he has gained way more weight than during his Superbad days.

Omg Jonah hill :(, this is noooot good. This is a pretty typical cycle for "fat" actors. Belushi got healthy working out with a trainer, then fell into a rut and gained it back. This happened multiple times until he died. Chris Farley also went through similar fluctuations. Hopefully he can find the answer.
 
Can confirm that having an eating disorder is a motherfucker. It really is a lifelong struggle. And not to be dismissive of alcoholism, but it's not like I can decide to stop eating. Must eat. But it's that compulsion shit that can fuck with you. Where it comes from, how to be aware of it in the moment, and to recognize the triggers. Sometimes it's completely subconscious and you realize in the middle of eating what you're doing and feel like shit.

I applaud im for doing something about it, but remember this isn't the first time he's slimmed way down.

My wife and I saw Bob Kelly the comedian perform at JFL in Toronto a few weeks back and he too has ballooned in weight. I was just a month ago watching an episode of Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn on YouTube and he was just chubby in that. On stage last month Kelly was sweating profusely and was clearly uncomfortable. I suppose it helps that he talks about it in his act and gets laughs. Outside of a stand-up set it's not a laughing matter at all.

I do my best to eat right and be present in the moment when making a decision to eat something.

This is my problem. I always go for huge-ass meals and the result is easy to guess. I know it's the wrong thing to do and feel horrid as I do it, yet I don't stop.

Damn @ Jonah Hill... I made a similar transformation in my life once, that is, going from super fat to being in pretty great shape -- I lost around 100 pounds 6 or 7 years ago, but I forget the exact number now(I think I got to around 245 at my worst, something like that). But personally after losing that kind of weight I honestly would find it really hard to gain that kind of weight back. I'm stuck at around 160-165 now no matter how much I eat, but then again I do eat much more sensibly these days.

Congrats on the lost. I feel I can add my own story here. My heaviest was 656 and over two years I lost 249 pounds. Depression and lack of self worth kicked back in and I gained most of it back. I'm currently trying to find that drive and motivation again to get back with everything. Being unemployed and just down on life does not help the mental strain so it's tough. I'm slowly eating better and getting back in to it but it's tough.

I have looked in to treatment centers for addiction/depression but no one will consider me because I am not suicidal. I only have Medicaid as well so it is really hard to get the professional help I need.

This is just to show the Jonah Hill side of things with how easy it is to go right back to old habits and mess it all up. Also someone said that Jonah probably has/had women falling all over him.. I'm not so sure. One of the things that Farley always said was that even though he was usually the life of the party.. he went home alone most of the time. It's a sad thing.
 
Looks Goodman. I'm always happy to see people losing weight and it having no negative effect on their overall appearance - when I see how wrinkly Drew Carey's face became, it was sort of mixed emotion because he obviously put a lot of effort into losing weight but he looked worse for it IMO.
 
It seems Goodman's weight has been yo-yoing the last few years. It seems like he lost a bunch of weight ages ago.

He'll never look as good as he did back in the late '90s.

I'm still a touch salty on it being cancelled on that cliffhanger.

Yeah man. Once you're going it's tough. And then the guilt and self-hate fuck with your head and you can end up thinking 'fuck it, i've had this much may as well eat this or that.' And then it's like you're in auto-pilot just shovelling food in. Believe me, I know what you're up against, I have had this struggle my entire life.

The only thing I can recommend is keep a food journal, even a small pad and a pencil/pen and keep it on you, and whenever you eat write it down. But don't just write down what food you consumed, write down what you're doing, what you're thinking, how you feel before and after eating, and whether you're hungry or not. But that can be tough. Way easier to lie to myself than it is to acknowledge the problem in the moment.
 
Damn way to go Goodman. One of my favorite actors but I was worried he was going to die at any minute.

Jonah Hill on the other hand. He went from obese to quite healthy looking to morbidly obese within a couple of years it seems. Get it together dude.

He broke up with his dietitian girlfriend apparently and then quit his diet.. Maybe depression?

Yer just read the linked article. Hope Jonah turns it around, have always rated him and he has really come into his own the past few years. Depression is a nasty thing and as someone who has dealt with it for years I would not wish it on anyone. When I was at my worst I would actually do the exact opposite (eat nothing). Hopefully he has people close to him making sure he is safe.
 
Hopefully he doesn't regain the weight like he did the last time he lost weight. Maybe he had bariatric surgery. If you're morbidly obese and have lost and regained lots of weight multiple times, it should be considered heavily. It dramatically changed my life for the better. I still worked my as off in the gym, but I no longer feel like I am on the verge of losing control and regaining everything, which is what I felt like all the time with my previous weight losses. There's no shame in utilizing the best treatment to overcome a deeply rooted biological drive to regain the weight.

I think Jonah Hill needs bariatric surgery.
 
I'm in completely denial over those Jonah Hill pictures.
 
John is one of my favorites. Love that he still getting work.

Sad about Jonah though, didn't like his super skinny look but damn he looks near death. Maybe it's just for the movie?
 
I have to admit I laughed at the 'it had to go somewhere' post earlier in this thread, but it is good to see Goodman lose it in a relatively short amount of time. Hopefully it won't reflect badly on his further career options, though that would be weird at this point anyway, given his status as an actor.
