How Saving Money Is Like Losing Weight... And How It’s Really Not

I’ve let go of the idea that my weight is an important metric to track on my road to self-improvement. Trying to lose weight last year was distressing, embarrassing, frustrating, and distracting. I literally forbade my loved ones from asking me about it once my secret Noom subscription was out. I can confidently say I went into the resolution for the wrong reasons, and the results made me neither happier nor healthier.

What’s more important to me now is my health and fitness. I want to be strong enough to climb incredible crags and have the endurance to hike up blindingly beautiful mountains. I want to eat food that makes me feel energetic and wake up from sleep feeling rested and enthusiastic about tackling my day.

None of those goals are reflected by a number on a scale.

Keep reading.

Set weight theory is interesting but I find hard to believe that anyone's set weight is going to be 600lbs. And it's dangerous to ignore that being extremely heavy won't make your life harder or more succetible to some health issues.

Genetics play a big role in determining your set point, which is the place where our natural weight falls and where our bodies experience homeostasis. And sometimes that point starts out fat! I'm not sure how common it is to start out very fat, and I don't think it's impossible, but it's likely that many folks in the 600+ club have experienced changes in their set point. Set point actually increases the more depravation your body experiences. Let's say you're dieting and your weight dips below your set point. Your body basically enters starvation mode and fights for survival (slowing your metabolism, changing hormone levels to reduce fullness and increase hunger) and doing what it can to hold onto that energy deposit. Now you've regained that weight and then some, and the extra weight sort of acts as an "insurance policy" to prepare for another period of depravation. So now your set point rests at a higher weight than before. You try another diet, lose weight, and the cycle continues. According to theory, someone who has a long history of dieting, disordered eating, restriction, periods where food was inaccessible, or anything that led to weight cycling could very well have a set point of 600lbs or above.

[ID: A graph labeled "The Set Point Theory" by Beth Rosen, MS, RD, CDN, showing a straight-sized body at a starting set point. The graph descends in a staircase-like fashion, and at the lowest point in the graph, the body is thinner. The graph climbs up to a bar higher than the original, labeled "New Set Point." The body at the new set point is wider than the body at the original set point. The graph repeats once more, and the body gradually gets wider. End ID.]

All this to say - weight loss doesn't work. No one is saying that there aren't any adverse effects that come with being that size. I have no idea where you're coming from with that but it really sounds like anti-HAES fear-mongering crap. (Health at Every Size doesn't mean "everyone is healthy at every size." It means everyone has a right to pursue healthcare without weight loss.) No one is "ignoring" the challenges that superfat and infinifat people face. What we are saying is that the alternative (weight loss) does nothing but cause harm. So just let fat people be fat, dude.

We’re going to have a huge dinner tonight… I saved c@ls throughout these days and ate fewer than I should’ve

I think today is going to add up to 2000 c@ls, same with tomorrow…

is it too much for two metab days? I know I won’t gain weight but I can feel I’m already getting into a plateau and I think I need them…

I’m so afraid, I can’t even enjoy holidays…

Since I keep seeing "$61 billion weight loss industry"....

This is a super old figure, folks.

In 2022, the US market cap of the weight loss industry was $75 billion [1, 3]. In 2021, the global market cap of the weight loss industry was estimated at $224.27 billion [2].

In 2020, the market shrunk by about 25%, but rebounded and then some since then [1, 3] (Tell me thin privilege is socially constructed without telling me that thin privilege is socially constructed).

Also disturbing, "Multi-level marketing companies constitute a major force in the [US] weight loss market, with the top 8 firms accounting for $3.4 billion in 2020 sales. Included in this group are Medifast, Herbalife, Shaklee, BeachBody, AMWAY, USANA, Isagenix and more." [3]

By 2030, the global weight loss industry is expected to reach be valued at $405.4 billion [2].

I want 2 try a coffee, fruit, and bread diet. Basically I’ll only be allowed to eat:

♡Coffees

♡Teas

♡Milks (low fat, skim, or alternative milks)

♡honey

♡Any fruits (except dates and other fruits excessively high in cals)

♡PLAIN NOT SWEET breads

♡small amounts of jam and juices not exceeding 70 cals per serving

I think this diet will work for me because it doesn’t actually feel like a diet!! Fruit and bread are so indulgent..

Lmk what you guys think.. and if you have any diets similar to this..

Only 700 cals allowed each day
