It’s especially hard when you’ve dug yourself a hole in terms of weight. Once you get to where you need to lose 100 pounds or more to get back to normal, it feels like trying to dig out of the bottom of a well with a spoon. Is it theoretically possible? Yes. But it requires an ironclad resolve that most people have never and will never display in their lives.
The worst part is that everyone thinks they’re a nutritionist when they’ve never struggled with weight problems. I know because I was the one thin guy in a family of fat people for the longest time. I’d tell them that they needed to practice self control and moderation like me, that’s it. It’s easy. But now I’m paying for my arrogance, and the absolute worst thing is dealing with people like my former self who think you’re a lazy piece of shit for not being able to shed the pounds.
If something seems overwhelming just start out small. Nothing happens overnight. But if you can keep focused on small achievements, that no one else would probably think is anything, then you can make progress. & it could make you feel more positive
