This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I got down voted to fuck in another thread for saying this lol

The amount of excuses fatties come up with is actually depressing. You don't have to swap every meal for a boring salad, you don't have to run ten miles a day, you don't have to meticulously count every calorie or commit to fad diets etc etc etc.

All you have to do is eat less. It's simple, it's easy. No one gives a fuck that you're busy, or a super taster or that you comfort eat, or that you feel super hungry before bed time. None of that is stopping you from eating just a bit less.

There are a minority of fat people who have significant mental or health issues of which I empathise, but for most, it's a combination of greed and the inability to delay gratification.

You need only two things to achieve and maintain a healthy weight;

  • Be honest with yourself
  • The will power to not consistently over eat

Edit: and here come the downvotes again lol you know I'm right, it's just that the truth hurts.

I downvote you, as a thin person, because you are an asshole. And this is kinda stupid:

There are a minority of fat people who have significant mental or health issues of which I empathise, but for most, it’s a combination of greed and the inability to delay gratification.

Perhaps think about it more. Or don't comment on other people's bodies.
