I totally hear everything you're saying. I'm sorry you went through all that. And I just think, how much easier would life have been for you if people had simply acknowledged that weight is complicated? It's the result of a bunch of things, including calories in and out, but also including hormones, sleep, mental health, gut health, micro-nutrient balance and probably a bunch of things we don't even know about yet. The concern trolls delude themselves into thinking they're helping when they're deeply harming people. People being dicks doesn't bother me so much. My main frustrations is that I want something and I can't seem to achieve it. Mumma didn't raise a quitter and goddamn it I want to be athletic, but the gods have deemed i should have the body of the venus of willendorf instead. It's frustrating because everything else I want I work hard and think i through, make a plan and achieve it, but going on 16 years straight of trying and still no success. Luckily, I'm making huge gains in my health and fitness outside of weight so that's something.

permanent weight loss is still a goal for me but I needed to put my health REGARDLESS OF SIZE first in order to see any improvement in either health OR weight.

Yes! Love this!
