That's surprising to me and interesting how different feelings drive us. I love my body, I marvel at its abilities and want to thank it for looking after me by treating it right and not abusing it. I mostly don't track what I put in it, although I do weigh and chart it. If I hit a certain weight (79 kgs, 174 lbs) I track what goes into it and ramp up the cardio until I'm back down to 76 kgs.

Of course, vanity is a huge motivator, I realise I'm much more attractive when my body's in shape and I want to leverage that. I'm not sure I could manage to be 'always on' like you seem to be. You're probably in better shape than me though so I suppose it's a spectrum all the way from this fat dollop to guys that are perfect physical specimens. I know which end of the curve I'd rather be at.

So much with the vanity. Sorry if some find that offensive, but I am already old, which I cannot fix. However, my body doesn't have to suffer for it. I refuse to let myself go. I will not buy bigger and bigger clothes! No! Am I buff? No, not really. Do I look good in my clothes? I think so. My BF thinks I'm hot as hell and his physical reaction makes me pretty sure he's being honest. I cannot imagine choosing food instead. No food on the planet is that good! None of it is worth being fat. Nothing, in fact, is worth being fat. Especially to the point of obesity. Christ. I just don't get it. And I'm glad of it.

Maybe I'm just fucked up mentally. Who knows. Maybe I wasn't told I'm a special snowflake enough times as a kid. It works for me though.

However. these fatties need a lot less acceptance and love and a lot more self loathing.

Nah, you're just being honest and self-awareness is the key difference between fat people and fit people, I think. Maybe just give yourself a little break now and then, you've climbed the mountain, enjoy the view!
