How has anyone EVER been able to lose weight?!

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?

You don't need to tbh

I've shed probably two hundred pounds during my life by now (bulking/cutting) and I've pretty much never counted calories.

You eat. You weigh yourself. Losing too slow? Eat less. Lost too fast? Eat more. Repeat.

There's no magic.

Reminds me some nutrition professor improved his health and lost weight by eating nothing but Ice-cream.

Counting is ez but for some reason people think everyone needs the same calories. Women hear 2000 and think it's the defacto number. It's actually like 1200 if you don't exercise for foids. People just don't do research.

Also god forbid you mention fasting. A lot of fats think theyll literally die of they dont eat for a whole day.
