    And it’s a slow process and a commitment that you have to stick to for months or even years.

    Until the end of your life, essentially, because underlying biological conditions that made a person overweight aren’t going anywhere. Most people fail to lose weight or quickly gain it back for a very good reason.

      I am currently listening to atomic habits and I like his take on it, and the story he tells about someone losing weight, they did it by thinking what would a skinny/fit person do when choosing what to eat etc.

      If you adopt the habits of someone who is ripped there is a good chance a few years down the line you will be ripped too.

      I am a fat fuck because my habit was to eat away my feelings, eat out of boredom etc, now I am trying to eat with a goal of establishing habits that will lead me to better fitness.

      And I like the takes by DR. mik israetel from his ted talk, we can all look at a plate of food and judge if it’s healthy or not, it’s not that hard, but consistently making the right choice of eating healthy (not always but most times) is not easy.
