It's so hard, the margins for staying in a deficit are so tiny and it takes such a ridiculously long time! I really can't grasp how everyone on earth with access to food isn't morbidly obese, and it's even more inconceivable to me how anyone who's overweight was able to lose the weight?
I've been stuck between 180 lbs and 220 lbs for the last 5 years, endlessly looking for the answer. It takes all my willpower to go a single day making sure I eat right, I've never been able to go more than a week.
The only way I've been able to lose weight is through very restrictive diets, but after a couple months I relapse and gain it all back. I've tried to make slow and steady approaches but just end up the same. It's so exhausting to count calories and constantly power through cravings.
Is there a cheat code? I've tried therapy, didn't help. Quit drinking alcohol, just made my cravings for food worse. I've tried prayer and meditation, hasn't worked either.
How did you do it?!
This fat c*nt has tried everything to lose weight but it's just impossible.
Therapy: didn't lose weight.
Prayer? Still fat.
Meditation? Post-meditation recovery snacks spike blood sugar and increase food cravings.
What is the answer? How can anyone ever lose weight? Is there some sort of magic cheat code this lump isn't aware of?

At the start of COVID, I started a diet plan that my great uncle wrote in the early 70s -
Strict keto (although they didn't call it that back then) for the first 45 days, and literally nothing but specific measures of protein and tons of water for the first 2 weeks
Regimented eating schedule (now called Intermittent Fasting) thereafter until target weight is reached
I went from 205lbs to 177lbs from March 19 to July 3 that year.
Fats will fat, and they'll only stop when the want to stop fatting.
