I don’t think you’re attacking me because you don’t even know me. What you are is just another in a line of fitness folks who know nothing about this.
(As an aside, remember when it was all the rage for well-known fitness folks to “get fat” and then lose it? So they’d “know” what it was like? That was hilarious and pointless and insulting.)
No one said people shouldn’t try healthier habits. It’s the abject arrogance of folks like you that seem to think we don’t know that, seem to think we haven’t tried tried that, or haven’t been told that, and most of all, haven’t been successful at it *a million and two* times. Successful until we cannot hold the line any longer. Until whatever’s broken in the brain wins out.
Logging food? That’s the first step in most programs that don’t prepare the food for you. (Raise your hand if you remember WW’s little paper booklets, lol) Even the ones that do prepare the food talk about it and suggest it bc they know we underestimate what we’re putting on our mouths.
Measuring food? Weighing food? Reading every label? Check, check, and check.
Eating well, knowing what you’re eating, and movement, I said nothing about those. Those are great things. Those are great things that for some of us (as I said, this isn’t everyone’s story that’s on glp-1s, look at you) are almost independent of the medicine, that are made possible by the medicine, that will continue to be possible bc of the medicine.
Though, if folks choose not to do those things, or sometimes, or in any combination, that’s their business.
So no, there won’t be a meeting of the minds on this one.
Such is life and that’s ok.
