It's amazing how much I don't feel the need to eat when I'm not depressed or anxious.

Goddamit...

Being an emotional eater is the worst thing ever. I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm anxious, I eat when I'm horny, it never ends.

More "sugar is the devil" news out of the UK. They want to cut the daily allotment of added sugar from 10% of calories (which no one was meeting) to 5%.

Fatties that treated their bodies so poorly they cannot properly process sugar need to lower their sugar intake? Clearly, sugar is the problem.

I would actually think there's something wrong with you if you didn't associate, even subconsciously, some emotional state with eating. It's proven to release dopamine, it makes you feel good. Well, I mean, as long as the food you eat tastes good.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with feeling good after eating or eating to make yourself feel a little better once in a while.

But there is a problem with eating as a replacement for feeling better. Which was what I was doing a lot of the time.

Remove the cause of the disease and the body recovers.

A smug sense of superiority?

Wait, what disease are we talking about?

Stupidity and lack ofself control?

Year and half without ever cheating.

You sound like the typical "saved" AA member, the only way to be sober is to give yourself to the higher power and try to collect your coins. Just because you have no self control doesn't mean other people don't.

Just as long as you realize had you stuck with any number of diets for a year and half without cheating you could have had outstanding results too. But good job nonetheless. Picking a diet and sticking with it is the battle.

Fixed

I climbed a mountain. Just because I took the elevator instead of Tom Cruising the motherfucking cliff doesn't mean I'm not at the top of the mountain.

And telling other people to use the elevator makes me a "saved" AA member, apparently.

I have no self control when it comes to food. I'm going up the mountain on a 45 degree ice-slick ramp.

I listened to my body, my body told me to eat.

Stomach: Yo, Himeo BRO, I'm fucking starving here. EAT SOMETHING
Himeo: Damn, okay. Not really sure what to get.
Cravings: That pizza looks pretty fucking good right now.
Himeo: Stomach, you good with pizza bro?
Stomach: I could fuck with some pizza. GIVE IT TO ME.

I got fat. So I listened to "the experts" and took their calorie counting method of weight loss.

Stomach: Yo, Himeo BRO, I'm fucking starving here. EAT SOMETHING
Himeo: I gave you 2,000 calories bro. I can't eat anything else today.
Stomach: I don't give a fuck. EAT SOMETHING.
Himeo: No.
Stomach: EAT SOMETHING.
Himeo: NO
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING.
Craving: Oh lawd, is that a donut shop?
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING.
Himeo: Oh fuck.
Craving: Just have a donut, what's the problem?
Himeo: I, dude I ate 2K calories today. I can't.
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING
Craving: Stomach's hurting bro, stop being a faggot and have a donut.
Himeo: What about the calories?
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING
STOMACH: EAT SOMETHING
Himeo: Christ. Okay fine.

I couldn't stick to it.

Then I heard that sugar was the problem and stopped eating sugar.

Craving: Himeo bro, that donut shop looks pretty fucking good right now.
Himeo: Hell yea it does. Hey Stomach, you have room for some donuts?
Stomach: Are you out of your goddamn mind? I don't have any room for that shit. I'm full.
Craving: But you haven't eaten anything all day.
Himeo: Yea, wtf Stomach. I haven't eaten anything all day.
Stomach: No room man, shit sucks.
Himeo: Okay, that's cool I guess.
Craving: That pizza looks pretty tempting.
Himeo: Shit yea it does. Got some room for pizza stomach?
Stomach: Na bro, no room.
Himeo: Oh well.

I lost a lot of weight.

Pointing this out makes me a zealot.
