    Stop eating.

    No one can beat the 2nd law of thermodynamics

    Stop eating = lose weight and die quickly

    Contniue over eating = develop long term health issues and die early.

    Equilibrium exists between these two extremes.

    It’s different for everyone. Find you balance, and live it. You don’t have to be a monk or I have the iron will or a frontiersman to to just think “I know I’m still hungry, but maybe I shouldn’t have a 2nd cheeseburger tonight”

      As a fat person, I never face that decision (well ok, not never, once or twice a year around the holidays maybe). Most of the time it’s more like “should I throw away half of this meal I paid for or finish eating it?” That’s a bit harder to do, especially when you were raised to clean your plate or you’d be physically punished. Conditioning is a bitch.

        Why is your decision not: “I think I’ll save this for later?” I think your two options are severely flawed. You are going to be hungry before that food goes bad, save that shit for later 😋😋

          I do when I can, but often it’s not an option, like not going home or anywhere I have access to a refrigerator, or I’m on my motorcycle and no way to carry it…

            All I read is excuses, be better than that. Take each day as a new day to begin making better choices and new good habits that work. I only say this because I was there, you got this, you just have to try and in addition to that not make an excuse when you hit a bump in the road. Fuck that, plough through, you’ll be fine. It’s not a temporary change, this is a permanent lifestyle change….or choose to do none of that and stay the way you are.
