Are you normal weight?
People who are obese hate being obese. Most have tried and failed to lose weight many times.
I am normal weight. I lost more than 70 pounds more than 10 years ago. It is a minute by minute struggle against hunger. Personally, I wonder if hell could be worse. At the moment, the carnivore diet has been the best workable solution.
Just “losing the poundage” shouldn’t be suggested casually.
I am, it was “serendipity”, I think is the word, was scheduled for a 10 day backcountry hiking trip in March of 2020, so in June of 2019 I started a crash program to lose the excess poundage. Managed 60 pounds. It was obvious that carrying 50 useless pounds on the gut, that just means no carrying 50 pounds on my back again.
Then as everybody knows, the ChiCom bug hit. I am very fortunate, my suspicion is, though impossible to know for certain, is that this particular bug would have ended with me on the casualty list had I not done this.
Hadn’t had the flu in many years, and then in February I came down with something. Not the worst flu I’ve ever had maybe, but it was pretty bad. Severe aches and pains, all the classic influenza symptoms and a high fever that lasted longer than just a couple few days. At first I thought my thermometer was defective.
