I have never been overweight but I imagine it would be daunting task to regain a semblance of healthy weight. I applaud all who have managed to do so
@Woodbutcher
It is unbelievably daunting.
Because every day you eat that tiny plate with no taste, you ask yourself: Is this going to be the rest of my life?
@LukeAlmighty @Woodbutcher First, healthy food in healthy portions doesn't need to be tasteless.
But a deeper reality is that you're looking at this as an endless negative. In booze, it's called "white knuckle sobriety".
It's not ultimately what you take away, it's what you bring in to replace it.

See, this is why noone gets fit ever.
You must not talk about it as a lifestyle, because that leads to this absolutely depressive language.
Yes, I am starving myself right now, but I am not planning on starving myself forever. It is a one off process, that might eventually need repeating, but knowing, that in 6 months I will be done no matter what helps me keep my sanity.
@vandys @Woodbutcher
If this image doesn't bring you dread, you're decensitived. But this is not "what you replace it with". This is what you'll be suffering through.
