    I'm sorry, pal. There's no need to shame physical appearances. I was overweight and unhealthy most of the last few years. We are set up to fail with our health in this society. I know it's a huge struggle. Hang in there.

      Yeah we really do get drip feed corn syrup like a rat in a cage here.

      Making slow progress though lets-fucking-go

        The big thing to me I think are the portions. They are insane. I cut back on my portions and that allowed me to drop like 20lbs with no other changes. I'm not exaggerating, portions in America are at least 3 times what they should be.

          Yeah that's a big part of it to. I was able to live in a walkable place for 6 months with much smaller portions sizes than here. I I lost 30 lbs over six months without consciously doing anything different.

            I try to go on a walk every day too. It's almost like meditation to me (when I'm not listening to Marxist podcasts). It's helped a lot. Just getting in movement when you can helps a lot.

            Edit: not trying to give unsolicited advice, I've just found that making some minor changes can have a positive effect on your mold and health.
