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;
Edit: and here come the downvotes again lol you know I'm right, it's just that the truth hurts.
My guy.. that's disordered eating.
It's not as bad as "disordered eating" makes it sound. It's not like you're bingeing and then throwing it back up.
We didn't evolve to have constantly stocked up fridges and cupboards. In cave man times, you would go through times of plenty and times of famine many times in your life. Maybe one week you hunt a nice big stag, you'll eat as much as possible because you don't know when you'll next have a successful hunt and it's not like you can just pop it in the freezer, especially if it's at a time of year where gathering fruits and seeds is unlikely.
Eating lots one week and little the next is arguably better than the constant grazing that we take for granted in modern times. What you're doing is more natural given the way that we evolved than what the majority of us do.
