I cut out all snacks, sweets, chips, and bread and lost 30 pounds in just under a year, dropping from 191- on the cusp of obese- to 156, just inside the "healthy weight" range. I've kept it off for 12 years now. I'm disgusted by the increasing volume of "stop blaming fat people for their own weight" claptrap on Tiktok and- worse- the media. Adults choose what they put into their mouths, and we really are what we eat (one of those silly little sayings that turns out to be 100 percent accurate.) Congratulations on your successful health journey.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-32322927661786080532022-12-11T11:12:22.508-08:002022-12-11T11:12:22.508-08:00Amen ...

My parents did me no favors by buying into this scam and piling huge amounts of food into my lunch pail and onto my dinner plate every day and telling me to clean my plate because there were people starving in China (this never made much sense to me either ... what did my eating all my food have to do with what people ate in China?). I now get by perfectly well on about 1500 calories per day or 2000 if I'm a little more active on a given day. Shockingly enough, I now weight about 210 vs the 270 I once weighed about 10 years ago.sanfranman59https://www.blogger.com/profile/15118732156312301425noreply@blogger.com
