The struggle is worse the older you get.

    It is, the trick is it’s easier said than done for people.

    It’s tricky to require your brain and overhaul your habits.

    I say this as someone who also has lost 25 lbs. there’s a reason people refer to it as a journey.

    I say this less to diminish your point and more for support of others who are going through this thinking “man this is impossible but everyone makes it sound easy”. It’s not. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

      Lots of things are easy to do once, but doing them continuously for as long as necessary is extremely hard.

      That being said I was starving for like two weeks but eventually I found I can’t eat that much anymore and it got easier.

        The one that gets me is switching from full sugar to diet sodas. Having a full sugar soda now tastes like I’m being face fucked with syrup. That one’s hard to go back.
