You think it's going to be all sunshine and supermodeling after you lose weight, but I know from experience that it's not the case. I lost 65 pounds from my peak weight, and I can tell you that there's no such thing as one-shot diets. It's just a constant war that doesn't end until you die. Either you maintain the diet, or you gain all the weight back and take all the consequences that will come with it. I get by on reminding myself that I feel better after I eat healthy, and that I'm better in the long run for it, and that the ephemeral joy of food is minute compared to the resolve of my will.

I know that you saw me.
