I Love You sitting next to a box of kleenex. ppl just make the mistake of mixing food with depression and go from not eating anything for a while straight to the unhealthy shit then your body just packs it on bc your metabolism crashes from not eating. > > not trying to bash on your statement at all bro, but to me “comfort food” is ridiculous and the fact that america practically encourages it as well as mcdonalds being every 1/4 up the road, its no wonder that we’re the fattest country out there Definitely true… Well I think for me personally half of the battle is understanding the mechanism so I can defeat it. Basically there have been times when I had a rough day, felt stressed, etc, and just felt like “a nice meal” was something I should treat myself to. I’m not talking about extreme $hit like eating 2 gallons of Chocolate Chip Cookie dough hiding in a closet, but just using food as an excuse… That’s where the lifestyle change has to happen I think for many of these people… I’m about 5 weeks into eating healthy and hitting the gym 3-4x a week, playing tennis once a week, so I’m doing OK for now. End goal is to lose 1/3rd of what you’ve already done, so reading about guys like you, Ned, I can really see the lifestyle change is possible. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fat-ppl-rant/242682)._
