Presumably they look at these photos before they post them. Do they not see that nothing has happened and then decide against posting because that would be pointless, embarrassing, and stupid? Obviously not.

Nope, that's part of it. Participation culture. Everyone gets a medal. Despite failure. Despite a lack of visible progress. Trophies for all. In fact, sometimes especially for the failings, makes all the other crabs feel better.

"Yeah and honestly the front views of my stomach look bad because of shadows to be honest. Like, I used to be able to grab my left side and get a ton of stomach but now I try to grab it and I barely can. I want that stomach poof goneeeeee"
That stomach "poof" is not going anywhere without major surgery. Even if she does manage to lose more than a measly pound per week over the course of an entire year - that body is ruined for good.

Almost 300lbs at 21 years old. Its peak attraction level as an adult is worse than that of a baby elephant.

It's been shown that in obese people, as opposed to yo-yo dieters, fast initial weight loss is actually a predictor of success, which makes sense. If you shave 250 calories a day off a 4000-calorie-per-day diet, that's really not good enough. If an obeast actually cut the crap and started on a 1,200 or 1,500-calorie-per-day diet and stuck with it, they'd lose 50-100 pounds so fast. Less than a pound a week in someone this fat is so lazy. Saggy skin is going to be a reality anyway, so what's the point in prolonging the process other than not having any will to actually put in real work?

Good lord! The top comment is:
There's no rush, the goal is to be healthier not just thinner,
This is probably a mixture of stupidity, and "Crabs in a bucket"

Exactly. They take their failure and they spin in in their sick, fat-laden minds as a positive. "But you're healthy" they reason. Bullshit. They are fat failures who should just die.

I don't see any difference
It seems there are still a few sane users left on Reddit

I refuse to believe those photos weren't all taken within 5 minutes of each other and I refuse to believe that people are actually congratulating it on it's success.

I went on there and commented. Hopefully I'll get banned. Too many feefees on there

I think one of the biggest predictors of failure is when they call weight loss an "adventure". It's just doing what most people of a normal size do every single day. Making your bed isn't an adventure. Taking a shower isn't an adventure. I'm waiting for my tofu to finish pressing right now. It's not an adventure, it's making dinner.
The fact that they want to make something normal into something exciting means they're not going to be able to maintain it. Moderate exercise and eating a normal diet isn't extraordinary and it's not going to keep up some kind of dopamine rush long term. You do it because you're supposed to, that's it!

I think making healthy meals is an adventure. (I am kind of obsessed with experimenting in the kitchen) Everything else you said, though, I entirely agree with.
