[quote=Anonymous][quote]People are different and if the person who lose 21lbs from cutting out cookies thinks its because of their "optimal choices" then they will always judge others because in their mind if you they were eating cookies and lost 21lbs what must you be eating to be 50-60 lbs overweight. Unfortunately, it is not that linear for most people and thats why the drugs work.[/quote]

I lost over 40 pounds when I stopped eating massive amounts of junk food.  But I try not to be judge others - in fact, I am very lucky that I had the metabolism that allowed me to eat massive quantities of junk for a decade and technically be only 15 pounds overweight on a BMI chart, to lose it easily in 6 or 7 months, and to keep it off. I've been anorexic and I've been a binge eater and I understand how hard it can be to have a healthy relationship with food.  When I was overweight, I had other stressors in my life. The food helped and I was not in the mindset to change my ways until those stressors went away. For me and for many others, there is a mental health component. It's not as simple as "eat this, don't eat that."

I feel like I'm finally in a good place when it comes to my eating and fitness and I'm 50.  It can be a struggle and each person has their own puzzle to solve.  I don't blame people who either don't have the energy to try or try but can't figure out what works for them. You can't know everything about a person by looking at their body or their grocery cart.[/quote]
