    Simple doesn’t mean easy. Running a marathon is simple, you just keep running until you get there. Yet the majority can’t do it.

    For each of the scenarios you presented, there is a simple solution:

    • “there are starving kids in Africa so finish your plate” - put less food on your plate
    • eating is the basically the only joy you have - expand your hobbies to find meaning elsewhere
    • medication… side effects - count calories
    • no time to exercise bc both you and your wife have to work - make exercise part of your commute

    Each of those are simple solutions, but they aren’t easy to implement. I get it, I don’t do the above nearly as much as I should; I know what I should do, but actually doing them is another story.

    Keep it up, you can do it. :)
