Pretty much just no portion control, just grazing all day, and by grazing I mean just housing entire pizzas on a whim. Food just keeping me sane and helping me cope. Still tracking my calories, though, so I can watch myself run at around 2500-3500/day.
This is why, when I have my cheat days, I make sure to either A: only buy enough for that day or B: eat all of what it is I bought or C: throw it the fuck away afterwards
Yeah, I know. I'm just pretty weak-willed, ATM, so when I do my weekly store run, even if I have a list I still just end up saying fuck it and snagging snacks. It's just so hard to care anymore.

Everyone else will give you healthy advice, and you should take it. If you can't/won't, glp1's are magic. 225 now. I've had to buy new clothes again recently, and I'm just like wtf these sizes don't even make sense to my brain.
Previous time I lost 40lbs by just staying under 1300 cal/day + the walking pad during raids and the two gym days. Gym days are 15min on the stair master at a level that kicks my ass, then ~45min of weights. I'd like to lose weight because I don't particularly enjoy being a fat, ugly piece of shit and the fat part is kind of the only thing I can fix, but I apparently don't hate being fat as much as I enjoy pounding down another pouch of decorating frosting. Almost made it through buying groceries without some this time, but my "nothing matters anyway" brain won in the end.
While i appreciate the encouragement, the cold hard fact I've learned, with 20 + years of weight loss battles, is that I fall solidly into a category of someone whos BMI is accurately predicted by the NIH website. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that most individuals do.
Man, I can totally sympathize with this. Too often in the past, I'd go cycling for hours with friends, and then throw away that progress by stuffing myself with pizza.
With insurance or a compounding pharmacy you can get the lower dosage Ozempic for a reasonable cost. I get wanting to do it on your own, but it really is a powerful tool if your willpower isn't getting the job done.
At the least, it might be worth a try for 4-6 months to see if it does anything and you feel ok.
Well, trying to go from 2500-3500 calories down to 1300 is a huge swing, probably too big unless you have an iron will and even then maybe too much. The mental battle is almost always way harder than any physical battle involved with change.
Sounds like you need a weight loss or workout friend that can help you keep yourself accountable. That person that is going to give you a hard time if you buy the tub of frosting.
Male privilege. Men have no problem calling each other lazy retarded fatasses, but women all sit around and tell each other "you're beautiful" or whatever else no matter how much of a fruit loops orbit they develop. I doubt she's going to find someone to tell her to stop being the hoover dam IRL.
Shaming me for frosting was probably the only thing my ex-husband was good at doing for me. Though, I didn’t actually start losing weight until we split up and was still fat as fuck anyway. He straight up would refuse to buy me just a single slice of cake for my birthdays.
People have been taking GLP-1s since the 70s/80s so the long term health effects are actually pretty well known. They didn't catch on to the vanity crowd until the last 5-6 years though which is what made it so insanely popular.
I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to go this route, but just fyi, you can get blind reta pussy for like $20/mo if you don't mind ordering from a china supplier. Even less for ozempic/tirz. (edit: and reta seems much better on side effects for many people. i tried proper ozempic but it made me feel like utter and complete trash, insurance wouldn't cover tirz since my A1C is good, so I looked for other options. basically no side effects with reta, other than feeling like general trash from eating at a deficit for a very long time.)
