Unsolicited dieting advice. Cool. Thanks.
You know I've managed to go 41 years without ever hearing any of this, or incorporating any of it into my daily life.
Hard to believe, but I've spent all that time under a rock, eating pasta and donuts. A very large rock.
Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Did you read a fucking word I said, or any of the parents above this?
Or do you just come here to fat shame under the guise of providing "advice" to people who have been hearing it from literally everybody in their life? Does that make you feel better about fat shaming? By thinking you're doing a good thing?
You know what's really fucked is I've talked the same way you do, when I'm at my lows. Goes to show how much self-loathing is involved in being fat.
Eat less, move more. It's so simple. Why didn't I think of that.
Even if you sincerely don't think you're fat-shaming, you are. The way you are speaking, is, ironically, belittling. Talking down to me like I'm an idiot. Sorry if that's not the case, but fuck you regardless.
I'm not the person you've been responding to. You're not wrong that it's hard, but it really is simple. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
People keep comparing it to drug addiction and that's pretty a pretty good comparison. Telling a drug addict to stop using drugs is not usually productive on its own because doing so is extremely difficult. However, quitting or severely limiting usage is still the ultimate goal of any addiction treatment plan. The steps are simple but difficult to implement.
