Just a rant. I am sick and tired of hearing excuses any these morons can’t lose weight.
Health conditions? I have fibromyalgia, Celiac disease, depression, anxiety, and has uterine fibroid surgery . I have still lost 120 lbs.
Addiction to food? I was too. I chose to go to therapy and find out why I was so hooked on binge eating and then also sought the help of a dietician to break these habits.
Broke? The gym I go to is $30 per month. I am not rich by any means, and I can still make $30 a month happen. And if I couldn’t, I’d run outside or use exercise videos or whatnot.
Healthy food is expensive? Bullshit. It’s not. Bananas are 45 cents a lb. A bag of brown rice or dry beans is like $2. I buy meat that is “managers special” (meaning expires that day or the next), it’s super cheap and o can meal prep it that day or freeze for later. I cook everything from scratch and it’s far cheaper than when I bought junk or fast food.
No time? Also bullshit. I work full time, run a successful Etsy store, I’m involved in a musical right now and on rehearsals 5 days a week. I still work out 6 days a week and meal prep every Sunday.
So they can suck it and admit they’re lazy, they have no respect for themselves, and are fat because they don’t care enough to make a change.

For me my depression stemmed from several years of abuse and neglect. Even if the abuse and neglect was over with years ago, the damage has been done.
I struggle with self esteem issues and sometimes when a situation or someone comes up that reminds me of the abuse I endured, I go back into that black hole of depression and wanting to die just so I don’t have to deal with the pain anymore.
It takes years for abuse victims to stop being depressed. I give myself maybe another 5-10 years of being abuse/neglect-free to finally stop feeling like I’m back in childhood suffering.
It pisses me off to no end when people cry about being depressed and they NEVER went through abuse or situations that actually causes depression (aka living in oppression, war torn countries, being in a cult, having their lives in danger, etc.)
