Always worth remembering that the OG Incel was a woman blogging about how desperate she was to lose her virginity.
That’s very unfair. She set up a forum, and by all accounts it was pretty decent. Mostly just people helping each other out, men and women.

Running sucks, doing a sport you don’t like is impossible to maintain. Thankfully there are a LOT of fun things out there.
I used to hate “every sport”, but after losing weight I took up bodybuilding/weightlifting, and HEMA for years (can’t recommend sports that cause brain damage though, regardless of fun)

The magic number for me was “calories per kilo”. I made a list (I’m sure you could just Google it now) of foods graded by calories per kilo, and just ate the lowest ones.
And presto: suddenly you’re full much faster, longer and you’re losing weight.
Then it was a matter of not snacking out of habit, which is MUCH harder. Of course, you can’t eat food you didn’t buy, so i really only diet at the supermarket.

A healthy body evacuate from the other end of the system most the excess calories taked in.
It really doesn’t. Your body is amazingly efficient, and it really only stops absorbing nutrients if you’re very sick, or doing something moronic like drinking a few glasses of oil a day.

Cucumber, tomatoes, celery. And if you’re willing to prepare something, basically every vegetable qualifies.
Nobody has ever gotten fat off of spinach or mushrooms.

The vast majority of obese people are not willing to admit they caused their obesity, because it’s a human trait not to admit your faults.
Humans would much rather paint themselves as the victim because that’s mentally much easier. “I’m obese because of PCOS/thyroid/magic/metabolism” or “obesity isn’t unhealthy, everyone should be like me”. The alternative is “I caused this, I’m maintaining this, and thus I can stop maintaining this”.
Once I made the realisation that I was working hard to be obese every day, it was super fucking easy to lose weight. But to find the solution, you need to identify the problem first, and if that problem is you, it’s going to be an uncomfortable problem.

Not the same person, but I’ll add my 2 cents.
Eating less of what you always eat is HARD, because you eat that much to stay full. Feeling hungry 24/7 is super fucking hard, and I don’t think anyone can maintain that for long.
But it’s amazing how not-filling most processed foods are. Swapping out high-calorie, unfilling food for low-calorie filling foods made it pretty much effortless.
I didn’t feel hungry, I didn’t need to eat that much. But dieting is still hard, because I also ate out of habit. A bag of snacks in front of the tv, a snack with a drink after lunch, etc etc. Not because I was hungry just because it’s tasty.
Breaking that habit was also pretty easy. See, you don’t need to diet 24/7. I only need to focus on dieting half an hour every other day, when I’m buying food at the supermarket. If I don’t buy snacks, I can’t eat snacks, it’s really simple. Anyone can be strong for 30 minutes every other day, that’s easy.
So yeah, dieting is done first your head, and then in the supermarket!
Step 1: admit your obesity is your own fault, and thus within your control Step 2: buy better food, buy less crap. Step 3: keep doing step 2 forever.

Are you telling me an AI made this stew?
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
That’s all true, and it’s all pointless.
It doesn’t matter whose fault it is or how hard it is. There literally is only one person who can fix your obesity, and it’s you. Yes, that’s hard. Yes, that sucks. But it’s also the only way.
Discussing whose fault it is and what of blame there should be is, at an individual level, completely pointless. There is one person in charge of what you eat, and it’s you. Factors may influence it, but in the end, you move the food to your mouth. You are the only person in the universe who can fix the situation, and if you don’t, it won’t get fixed.
Taking the position that you’re a powerless victim of circumstances will just hurt. Admitting that you’re obese because you eat too much, and that you can control how much you eat, will help fix your problems.
Every time you hear someone say “it’s my thyroid” or “I have PCOS” or “I can’t afford the gym”, or “I have a food addiction” or “I have BED” as an excuse, you’re talking to someone who sees themselves as a victim rather than the person who can fix their problem. All those things might be true, but none of those issues move food into your mouth. You do that, and you can stop doing that because you’re a thinking human being and not a seacucumber or a daffodil.
Getting from “I am obese” to “I am keeping myself obese” was very hard too. It requires taking ownership of your mistakes, it requires introspection. And then you go into a long and uncomfortable process of fixing the problem you caused, and it sucks. Losing weight is shit. Feeling hungry sucks, and it sucks 24/7. But damn, losing weight feels amazing and it’s all worth it.

Funny story:
in Rogue Trader, you can take certain storyline choices that are Chaos, Imperial or “Demagogue”. Demagogue actions includes thing like “Don’t murder the tens of thousands of refugees, despite some of them being chaos worshippers and it being really fun to kill them all”
However, players started noticing that playing the demagogue path gets you neither of the two powerful gear unlock paths, and started asking the devs “Hey, how come I don’t get rewards when I’m being a really Good guy?”, to which the devs replied “If you’re doing it for the rewards, you’re not really being good, are you now?”

By being a fucking moron. He was out of food and weak, and by the time a thought sparked in his brain, the small stream he crossed on his way there was a big river, because of snow melt.
Anyone on a trail would know that, because they’re not fucking morons. Except for dumb entitled Chris who thought nature would just provide and that solo survival would be easy.
