Yep. Intermittent fasting is easy but all weight loss is hard. I lost like 40 pounds in less than a year, and then my body rebelled and beat up my brain with a shotgun. Gained it all back over the next two years.
Our brains have a lot less control than we like to think, unfortunately. And the reasons weight loss is difficult are numerous. It’s not dissimilar to addiction, in that overcoming it can be easy for some people but incredibly difficult for others. And unfortunately those for whom it is easy don’t realize how good they have it.
It’s so frustrating. Stupid human bodies and brains and stupid food made to be super delicious and stuff. I wish I could just go “no thanks!” But it’s a nightmare. I keep trying though. Gotta try.
