Like 52% of the developed first world can be considered morbidly obese.
I highly doubt it’s a willpower or self-control problem, that’s just blaming the victim.
The real issue is there’s fucking sugar in everything.
Read the nutrition facts labels one day and try to keep yourself under 100g of net carbohydrates as a mental experiment while grocery shopping (net meaning carbs - fiber = net).
You’ll quickly notice that the vast majority of things have added sugar via HFCS, even innocuous things like bread or even ketchup.
It’s tough out there.
My favorite advice to avoid this: stick to the outside aisles - the grains (though problematic), fruits/veggies, meats, and dairies. Only delve into the aisles for what you know you need/want. Not foolproof, but less temptation than walking every aisle, esp. when hungry
But what if I mess up on January 2nd? Then I get permission to not try at all until 2026. That’s way easier. I can just overeat for a whole year and try again next January 1st.
Honestly, every time I have successfully dieted for any meaningful length of time, it just started on a random day.
Last time it was a random Friday in February. I stuck to it til the following September and lost about 50 pounds. I’ve put a lot of that back on, so maybe today’s the next one.
That whole “eat garbage all the time and then starve yourself with a diet for a while just so you can eat garbage again” approach never worked.
Your default meal should always be healthy and well balanced and provide enough nourishment to maintain yourself. And then once in a while you can treat yourself to a garbage meal.
Bah.
You don’t eat healthy when eating out. Eat well and right on your own at home or packing food for work. Eating out is a treat, not a diet to live on.
as she read the meme she remembered the cold pizza from yesterday is in the fridge and that everything is right in the world
