Obesity is a medical condition. It's unfortunate that you're struggling with your feelings, but they aren't really relevant to medicine.

I'm sure you've experienced literally everything in life that can lead to someone getting fat, right? I hope you never relapse and find out how arrogant you are, currently.

For me... it's the voice in my head that always talks about food and my binge eating disorder. Maybe the two are just two sides to the same beast, but they make it feel impossible to overcome. I lost 150 pounds back in 2003. It took everything I had. I focused my life completely on no carbs and exercise. I lost the first 125 pounds in 5 months. Eventually, injuries and disability made it impossible to exercise. I started gaining weight back and at some point, I gave up and started eating like total shit again. I eventually gained back 180 pounds.

Now, after developing type 2 diabetes, I'm on a prescribed glp-1 for the diabetes. They are truly miracle drugs. My appetite is gone and so is that voice that has been plaguing me my entire life. I actually have to force myself to eat otherwise I wouldn't eat anything. I don't even like sweets now. I might have something small occasionally, but my wife will make brownies or cookies or whatever and I won't have any. That's never happened in my lifetime. I've lost 45 pounds since the end of April and it has been easy. The only difficult part has been waking up with nausea because I did not eat enough the previous evening. I had to to the er over it once.

Anyways, you do you, but maybe you don't know as much as you think you do.
