    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.

            No I get it, I was over 300lbs last year, I’m now under that and slowly making progress, it just gets on my nerves when people have the attitude of “it’s easy, just make the choice to eat less” like it’s a one time thing, it’s not, it’s constant. It’s like telling alcoholics “it’s easy, just don’t drink”. I might even argue it’s easier to quit drugs, because you can live without. I quit smoking years ago, it was a rough but it gets easier the longer you don’t do it. I can’t just stop eating cold turkey.

              It’s just like smoking, and drinking….you take it step by step day by day. It is easy, people just always have an excuse, you can’t let it win, fuck that.
