You're fat because you eat too much

[GreatSpirit]

Please read this article, as it makes so much sense.

As stated, people are fat because they eat too much. I don't want to hear anyone's excuses like "my metabolism is too slow", which is the excuse I used for almost 15 years. It's BS. Overweight people actually have a much higher metabolic rate than thinner people because it costs calories to keep yourself that big. I didn't even realize this until a couple months ago. Ironically, you can still get fat by eating the healthiest foods in the world if you eat too much of them. It's all about calories man and dieters are telling us not to count calories.

As for my progress, I am down to 170 lbs and still dropping . The last time I weighed this much was back in junior high. Yes, I was a fatty all of my teenage years and 20s and I can never get back that time so lets hope my 30s will be a blast.

I really feel bad for people who spend hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars on these ridiculous meal plans and personal trainers, when all they had to do was simply EAT LESS! It gets discouraging for people because they automatically think they have to eat all fruits and vegetables. Now you definitely should be trying to eat healthy, but if you're looking to initially lose weight, just eat less. Thats all you have to do.

The greatest reward for me so far?? I'm mentally in a better state and far less depressed. Trust me, the feeling you'll get from loosing weight is well worth the struggle!!
