      When you’re a fatty, loathing is at an all time high. I was never fat, but I’ve lost 20 lbs since February eating pretty similar to this

          I was 6 ft and 200 lbs. Not obese by any stretch. Trying to lose the dad bod and get back to where I was before I retired from field work.

          My goal is to actually be leaner than that, now that I actually have time to pay attention to fitness and diet.

            I’ll tell you that for most people it’s less about food intake and more about physical exertion.

            I’m not saying eat cake for every meal but as long as you’re burning more calories than you’re taking in that’s all that matters unless you have underlying health conditions. Keep being you but just exert yourself more. Work until failure.

            I say this with love as a person who has struggled with dysmorphia and has taken several steps to overcome it.
