Ah, and the truth comes out. As if we didn't already know that she had been binging. She's her own worst enemy. All the weird diets, the super hard restriction, water fasting - are you kidding me? You just know she is going to fail. When you get into the weight range of 300 plus pounds do you know how fucked everything is. There is no way you’re just gonna change it up like that. You will fail. You will get burn out. And then they lose like 5 pounds and want asspats because they want the validation. It’s whatever. The “real” hard work in my opinion is having patience. Weight loss isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon. If done right it’s super slow. It’s boring. It’s a bunch of small choices. It’s basically just a bunch of boring grinding. Eat 500 calories under your TDEE - make small but good choices to accomplish that - and just wait. Once you get to a healthy BMI then do more ambitious stuff. But just the mere purpose of losing weight and getting to a healthy BMI drop all the jazz and extra stuff. Drink water or diet soda. Leave off the condiments. Have the burger without cheese. Take a walk outside. Have some low calorie ice cream instead of regular. Cook at home instead of going out to eat. Plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It’s boring. It’s slow. You’ll lose maybe a pound a week. Maybe 2. It’s boring. You hate yourself and you want the process to go faster. You accidentally binged yesterday and now feel defeated. Get back on the horse tomorrow. Ect... that’s the real hard part of weight loss in my opinion. Just being able to endure boring, lengthy, years or more of long waiting and small choices and calorie counting. She thinks she can go from super morbidly obese with a diet comprising solely of junk and fast food and completely void of fruits and vegetables and just start the next day as a clean-eating, 1200 calorie-counting, exercising bastion of health. Like - it's no wonder you're going to fail. It's not sustainable. Lord have mercy she just kills me with how she just goes on and on and on with countless resolutions, day ones, challenges, new me, juice fasting, water fasting, vegan, vegetarian, hard restriction, blah blah blah. It's like - just stop. Just shut up. Start. Right now. Just start. Count your calories. Eat 500 under your TDEE. And wait. It's that easy. It's that simple. It's that boring. It took you 20 years to get to this weight. It's probably gonna take another 3 - 5 years to get it off. That's just the facts. Otherwise you're gonna keep this cycle of restrict/binge/restrict. Just.... count your calories and wait 3 years. And be done with it. Otherwise you're inching closer and close to immobility my sister.
In what world does she live in that people are all the sympathetic to a lying, manipulative, continuously relapsing heroin addict...
Side note: If I have to hear that spiel about a "journey" and "twists and turns" and "ups and downs" I'mma pull my hair out. How many times are we gonna have to hear that soap box - lmao.
