The struggle is worse the older you get.

    Just don’t have an eating disorder / addiction is what these posts suggest you know. 4Head shit. The entire problem is they struggle with saying no. Like a heroin addict. “Just eat less” is worthless advice.

    “Eat less, and here’s how to learn this disipline while dealing with the myriad of possible root causes of your disordered function” would be a start. Nutritionists exist for this purpose.

    It’s a mental weakness many people clearly have given it’s an epidemic. Exploited by their dealers: Capitalists involved in food industry.

      It’s not fat people hate to acknowledge that eating less is how you lose weight.

      Your take or stance about capitalism and addiction is true also, but yeah addicts are addicts if it’s heroin or food or sex or alcohol.

      Some addictions / pleasures aren’t super unhealthy and some are.

      Either way, the trick to it is to eat less. Same as the “trick” to getting off opiates is to stop using them.

        Yeah all that’s right but you’re overlooking the fact that “just stop” almost never works. People can know this, rationally. But they still fall into addiction. It takes a more complicated approach than “just stop” most of the time.
