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?

I agree. The trick is to teach yourself to get used to the feeling of being hungry. Once you normalize that feeling without picking up food it becomes easy. Think of it as a little constant pain that will one day be gone when you hit normal weight. You just have to voluntarily suffer the discomfort.
It's one of those get used to push through discomfort situations and honestly I can understand why 80-90% of fats cannot do it. Their families fricked them over as kids in most cases and people get stuck at whatever diet they are used to.
Far as I can tell, even mildly overweight people have a hard time sticking to normal weight afterwards in life even though their journey is way shorter.
Taking all of this into account I still think one should keep pushing to not be fat. Do it in chunks. Go down 2-3 kilos at a time. Maintain weight. Then cut again. Repeat.
