How do I become disciplined enough to stop being obese?

Read Atomic Habits. Read it straight through the first time then read it again and take notes. Trust me.

The GLP weight loss drugs are extremely effective.

Extremely effective at doing irreparable harm and eating muscle. Just get the sugar(carbs are sugar) out of your system.

Like a lot of people, big weight swings from the holiday dinners, nonstop high calorie food and snacks, and lower activity levels have always been a normal part my family holidays. It’s been three years focused on changing small things, like actually figuring out calorie count of each meal, switching to lower calorie snacks, not having high calorie left overs in the house, and being happy getting a tiny bit better each year, and it does eventually add up. For the first time ever, I’ve stayed the same weight. Haven’t lost a pound since October, but not having extra holiday weight is a win. A diet where not losing weight is a win is my kind of program. lol

Extra workouts are great for a lot of people, but I’m as active as I’d like to be. Getting older and having more aches and pains from worn out joints takes a lot of enjoyment out of gym time if it means having a sour gut from extra pain killers at night.

Giving up all the good stuff also works for a lot of people, but I’m not one of those. This past year I’ve focused on better tasting food, just less of it. I still eat cake and ice cream at birthday parties, just don’t take leftovers home to binge on the next day. I still have stuffing, mashed potatoes, ham, turkey, steak, hamburgers, sausage/bacon, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy, you name it I still eat it, just less of it and leftovers from family get togethers go home with one of the kids. I gave up egg nog and ice cream completely a few years ago, but added it back in this year for special occasions. A little of each was never the problem, eating huge amounts of leftovers was.

However guys find small wins, good for you and keep it up, the pounds weren’t put on in a single year and they don’t have to come off quickly.

Embrace self imposed adversity daily. Be a king and not a slave.

Sugar is a big problem.. limit sugar amap. Under 50 grams daily is good. 0 gr processed sugar and 0 processed foods.
