Why some people fail to lose weight?

many of us can relate to: the struggle to shed those stubborn pounds. We've all been there, right? You set out with the best intentions, ready to conquer your weight loss goals once and for all. But somewhere along the way, things seem to go awry, and despite your efforts, those numbers on the scale just won't budge.

So, why do some people fail to lose weight, despite their best efforts? Well, the truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Weight loss is a complex journey influenced by a multitude of factors, both internal and external.

One common stumbling block is the misconception that weight loss is solely about willpower and discipline. While these traits certainly play a role, they're not the only pieces of the puzzle. Our bodies are intricate systems governed by hormones, genetics, and metabolism, all of which can impact our ability to shed excess weight.

Another culprit is the prevalence of fad diets and quick-fix solutions that promise rapid results with minimal effort. Sure, these approaches might lead to short-term success, but they rarely result in sustainable, long-lasting weight loss. In fact, they often do more harm than good, wreaking havoc on our metabolism and triggering unhealthy patterns of restriction and bingeing.

Let's not forget about the emotional component of weight loss. Many of us turn to food for comfort, stress relief, or as a way to cope with difficult emotions. Addressing these underlying issues is crucial for long-term success, yet it's often overlooked in traditional weight loss approaches.

And then there's the environment we live in, which can be rife with obstacles to healthy eating and physical activity. From busy schedules that leave little time for meal prep to neighborhoods lacking access to fresh, nutritious foods, external factors can make it incredibly challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

But here's the thing: failure to lose weight doesn't mean you're doomed to stay stuck where you are forever. It's a journey, with ups and downs, twists and turns. And while it may not always be easy, it is possible. It's about finding what works for you, listening to your body, and making small, sustainable changes that add up over time.

So, if you've found yourself struggling to lose weight, know that you're not alone. Be kind to yourself, celebrate your victories, and keep pushing forward. With patience, perseverance, and a bit of self-love, you can achieve your weight loss goals and live a healthier, happier life. You've got this!

btw Still thinking about the moment where Tula first realizes she's literally, mechanically unable to keep up with / catch Jaysohn when he bolts and runs his full speed. That revelation that she's not fast enough to stop him, or get alongside him, much less get in front of him to protect him if he needed it. The dread terror of it. :(

#N posts stuff #dimension 20 #d20: stupendous stoats #burrow's end #Siobhan said it almost like a joke but then Aabria put Weight behind it and oh boy. oh boy. there's Terror there babey!!!!!!#sure hope that doesn't come back in any significant way in any significant scene. ...........#It's like the moment in ep 2 when Tula's initiative fell behind Both Lila and Jaysohn and the only thing she could do was Watch #as they both jumped into the battle ahead of her. because she couldn't keep up with them...#look Sometimes catching a recurring theme in an actual play show doesn't necessarily Mean anything bc of the improv nature of it #but Obviously the dice also tell stories. and Aabria is a Fantastic GM. and the players are Excellent at role play. so it's..... 👀#certainly not off the table. G-D i'm so invested in this season i'm fully gonna lose my mind no matter what happens lmao #i'm on the edge of my SEAT

"Seungmin would be SO hot if he got muscle like, can you imagine?" You would be hotter if you shut your mouth but we can't always get what we want so <3

#the amount of times ive seen this exact comment or sentiment over the past 6ish months in particular #truly pissing me off <3 #like first things first- hes already handsome so if you dont see that... its fine. we all have different tastes but also be quiet <3 #but like we know first hand from him that he isnt particularly interested in the gym and working out #hes not a changbin. its not his thing- he goes to keep up stamina for live shows #and the fact hes been very specific in saying so any time anyone mentions him working out and going to the gym is so like......#its kinda obvious that hes doing a polite 'please dont hassle me about getting bigger' so he makes sure to always go Its For Endurance #and yet i still see this and also. um theres other members who are muscley so why does seungmin also have to follow that route?#like if you want muscle theres people you can go look at... but also half these people cant even identify actual healthy muscle #vs. someone being so skinny that they have no fat on them and somehow think thats real muscle so like lol #its been so specifically the past half a year tho like whats that about why #its really one of those be quiet im so tired #well on the otherhand i was so stressed about my doctors appointment but now annoyance took the worries place so 🤷‍♀️#like its funny how X should lose weight comments are recognised for being shitty but the 'x should totally change his physique' is chill tho #like if seungmin organically of his own accord ever becomes a muscle bro bc /he/ wants that than for sure i'll be like Woo go seungmin !!#but only if he wants it. not the fans being annoying not bc of staff or beauty standards not bc of the other guys

does anyone know if we have to roll that rock up the hill again tomorrow

#so to recap what we all know if we're following the Angela is Sickly series #i can't eat tree nuts. i can't eat trail mix that has come in contact with tree nuts. i am uneasy about eating anything that has been in a #facility with tree nuts because i have had allergic reactions just as severe from cross-contamination as i have had from straight up #eating walnuts. the one exception to this rule is pistachios because i have yet to have an issue with them #i don't eat pecans anymore because i had a reaction. almonds are on thin ice i don't really eat them #also. also i dislike nuts. it's not a hard rule but i don't like them at all. i am not a picky eater they just happen to be one of the #foods i dislike they're a bad texture and they taste like wood. except for the beautiful pistachio #and then we have the alpha gal allergy so. it's not Nearly as severe in terms of life-threatening anaphylaptic response but #the trade-off is a week-long world ending stomachache. which is extremely not fun and also could at any point randomly turn into #a more severe allergy so i. sort of don't fuck with it. there are exceptions that i regret every time because ouch. no red meat.#similarly. we respond not too great to dairy. can't have a lot. can't be fixed by lactaid pills or anything because it's not lactose #intolerance it's an allergy. so. no tree nuts except pistachios. no red meat. light dairy. i am twenty pounds underweight.#my doctor told me to keep red meat in my diet if i couldn't maintain my weight and uh. Bad News i can't maintain weight but also it's a #massive trigger so what the fuck do i do here. to be allergic to some of the most caloric and fatty foods out there #tried to start up boosts and i will continue doing so but im getting stomachaches from them too. like the fuck do u do #im eating eggs and avocado and olive oil and peanut butter etc and im still losing weight. i don't ever have an appetite #gets to a point where im like Well we might end up in a fucking hospital because i keep losing weight and idk why #tests aren't showing anything other than alpha gal and minor inflammation we don't have a reason for #tomorrow i will fucking have egg and avocado and olive oil and butter and a boost and an antispasmodic and water and #i will get a stomachache again and be tired again. Onward!#i would feel so much better if i could gain weight and i can't. what do. im so tired all the time <3 15.8bmi <3

bc its been bouncing around in my head i think another little tiny grievance i had with totk is that i got to the end and just felt a sense of ‘well what the hell was that all for then’

#salty talks #like. ok. look at me. do you ever think abt how link loses an arm but absolutely nothing comes of it #it was basically just an excuse to give him powers and there was nothing actually done with yknow #him losing an arm. or how the light dragon thing didnt really have any long lasting consequences #and generally like. i had to think for a moment to remember why the hell she did that #what was her purpose in the past again???? what did she accomplish actually??? oh right the fucking sword #its like. i get to the end and like nothing has changed it all resets to zero it barely even feels lile a change #woth the other races pledging loyalty like the past (gags) bc barely anything abt hyrule changed between those two times #mineru leaves. she was a lot of wasted potential. nothing CHANGED it all just reset back to the status quo #no one learned anything i feel nothing new or interesting just oh hyrule is good :) it all feels so hollow #like you go on this big adventure and then at the end you dust yourself off and go back to doing basically #exactly what you were doing before that all happened like nothing happened. thats how it felt. what was the point #yeah sure new zonai stuff but that never sinks in its not important to the main narrative so it feels like nothing #it just. felt like there was no real point to the adventure except to affirm that yeah the past was perfect keep doing that #while none of the characters actions really have any lasting weight to them and they barely feel involved #i need to stop i can feel myself wanting to keep going lol. link losing his arm but the game not at all engaging with it is frustrating #totk salt #like to me it’s an issue bc its a long game with a lot to do but when you reach the end it just rings so fucking hollow #the main story/narrative equivalent to all those fucking collection items where the prize is a useless fucking token

i keep finding reminders of how i used to act/type a few years ago and i shrivel up. and die.

#i am so so so glad that i'm still on friendly terms with a lot of you guys because i am not a strong enough person #if i was interacting with someone like my past self i think i'd keep a long distance before gently closing the door #drags my hands down my face. the masking was so much. too much.#i stumbled across drawings from 2016 or so and a lot of it was based on memes my friend* at the time liked #which i vividly recall thinking 'this seems really weird. but i think it'll make them laugh!' which. in fairness. it did #but i'm just not & have never been the sort of person who is wholly comfortable acting like that anyway #it always felt off. but i'd lean into it because it's all i really knew people expected of me & i was scared of making a jarring change #which. in a sense. losing my ''best friend*'' & primary discord server at the time somewhat helped w that transition period #into. well. what i am today!#i like to think i'm still silly enough but in a more authentic way to myself & my own humor...#it feels a lot more real - the ways in which i put myself out there. i don't have the weight of feeling like i 'must' close myself off #i get to be open. whether it's here or among friends. i feel more genuine and - ironically - alive; for better and for worse i suppose #jestersvaguely #*the same person. not very good for a multitude of reasons + they were twice my age at the time #which isn't inherently a bad thing to be clear. but combined w a lot of behavior they facilitated + topics of conversation it's... well.#but i digress #i'm glad that things have improved - generally speaking :]

how does pinterest see you moodboard! not technically tagged but saw @thearcaneuniversity’s post and decided to copy it. Everyone is welcome to do the same, these are fun!

rules: search up fashion, pantone, mood and food on pinterest and put the first picture that shows up!

#illy talks #tumblr games #feel like food throws off the dark vibe but looking up “healthy chicken recipes” is part of the dark “I should lose weight” times #also struggling with my body image still y’all. Sorry! Idk if I should like tag #body image #i've always struggled with my appearance due to my weight and while i'm an overall healthy person #it's still something that comes up in my mind and self concious anxieties sometimes #maybe I should keep an actual diary/journal 👀 ngl looking up photos for fun mood boards to journal might be a thing #like maybe that’s the one way I’ll actually journal/write and not just think about it #boy did evil eye GET ME THINKING Y’ALL #it really said “GIRL GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU DO”

Literally I don’t want to hear a single word from anyone about Nicola Coughlan’s body!! She has been clear about this !!! She doesn’t need to hear your fucking opinion about her body and appearance!!! If you say anything about her body I will melt your head with a laser beam. God!!!

#skulltalks #fat people can’t win!!! I’m so fucking tired!!!#if you gain weight you’re too fat if you lose weight you are a ‘traitor’ to the body positivity movement!!#fuck!!! fuck off!!!#stop making comments about people’s bodies!!! stop!!!#’but what if it’s positive?’#STILL THEN LIKE!!#do you know how EXHAUSTING it is!!!???#I would literally go mad if I was famous and had to hear the WHOLE WORLD’S opinions on my body #Nicola coughlan is fucking awesome and unless youre talking about how awesome she is keep her name and comments about her body OUT ya mouth

i try not to think about the reality of being a fat person too much but unfortunately i fail at that. ohhhh my god dude. everyone i've ever met thinks, at least once but usually more, that I am disgusting and indolent. i will never find love because of anti-fat bias. i don't even know if i'll be able to travel anywhere by plane again because of the need for seatbelt extenders. people sit on top of me on public transit sometimes. i can't eat, even alone, without severe anxiety because people think I'm disgusting. I know there's somethign wrong with my physical health but I don't want to wait 10+ months to see a specialist just for them to tell me to lose weight. like do thin people even understand the trauma of existing in a fatphobic society at all. do you know the burden of dealing with this every day, everywhere you go, from people who tell you they love you?

#mads.txt #i know i will never be able to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off either. because that's how science works.#diet science is 99% bullshit eating disorder propaganda and i'm not about to starve myself for an imaginary ideal #so this is going to be something I have to deal with forever! and i'm tired! of everyone else's bullshit!

had an appointment w my pcp and told her the plastic surgeon i had a consult w wants me to lose weight before he'll consider top surgery and she just sighed deeply.

#messages from the ouija board #weight loss //#i am going to try bc its not a lot hes asking me to lose. like its within that small range that studies say its possible to lose & keep off #and i also dont need to keep it off i just need to get this top surgery #but everywhere else i looked that will take my insurance is like. we need you to lose 50+ lbs to even consider you #so this guy being like 'can you get down to 225?' isnt the worst thing that could happen #like id rather do that than pay out of pocket somewhere.#but my pcp's weary sigh was validating

Had an ADHD assessment a few years ago and the fuckwit that assessed me said, as a direct quote, "You're too smart to have ADHD." Like that's not any type of paraphrasing, that stupid fucking statement is burned in my brain forever and has been since I heard it.

I talked to my psychiatrist about getting a referral to a different psychologist for assessment, and she agreed and sent it in.

Today I got a call that said they don't agree that I need reassessment, and I'm welcome to pursue it elsewhere, but they won't provide reassessment. Which is just.

I don't even know where to start with that one. I just needed to get it out. I'm so tired.

#'we really dont think youre adhd so were not even going to let you pay to check again'#WHAT #thats an option?#they can just say that they really dont think its a problem for me so they wont waste their time?#the first fuckwit that assessed me said im too fucking smart to have adhd!!#thats not a fucking compliment and every professional ive spoken to since then has said 'yesh thats not right tey for reassessment'#i just had to write this down because #this morning i was showering before work and they called me and left a message #so i checked the message right before work cuz i saw it was them and i assumed they wanted to set up the reassessment #because i got a referral. but theur message literally just said that bullshit #and because it was right before work i had to pack that away #because trying to deal with that in addition to a shift at fucking mcdonalds wouldve killed me #but because i set it aside i just keep forgetting about it. so i needed to write this down to remind myself #that this is my life and this is the bullshit i get to deal with in this life #im so tired. i dont even know what to say here. what to think or anything #'youre too smart to have adhd. we're so sure of that that we're not gonna check again. waste someone else's time. bye!'#i wish the world worked the way healthcare 'professionals' think it works #what a beautiful world it would be. you could lose weight just by trying and when you lose weight all of your health problems disappear!#you cant have any mental health problems if you are smart or seem kinda normal or are a woman #i am resisting the urge to. i don't even know. i want to do something angry and destructive but i don't even care #at least now i dont have to drive two hours and pay $160 just to be told that i am too smart to have problems #and actually all of my problems are due to my anxiety and the fact that im female #god i wish that was the case. ill go on t if it makes my problems valid. would you like that?#what do i have to do to convince people i have problems? i will fully physically transition to be taken more seriously #would that help?? would that fucking help???????????????#anyway. i was about to say i wish i wasnt mentally ill. but i dont #being mentally ill is chill. its like a roommate that lives up there and weve lived together awhile so its chill #the only problem are the idiots they pay to deal with mental illness. at this point i dont think they have qualifications #theyre just bringing in men off the street. and theyre the real problem. goodnight folks #dont have the audacity to be mentally ill in this economy. its not worth it

household enemy to the yyh watchthrough number one is the olympics. it's taken us a week to get two episodes into the gamemaster fight

#out of three. please the third episode's what makes it okay im fighting for my life out here #it is NOT for lack of trying on my part but theres only a brief window of time when the olympics is not happening #and as it turns out the watchthrough is Not my mom's first priority (how dare she etc)#i do feel slightly bitter that we've gotten through two eps of band o brothers in the same time #we are fighting for the same timeslots yet somehow the hour long show's gotten a leg up??#you don't have time for a 23 min ep but DO for a 60 min one?? explain the math to me please #idk how to explain the vague feeling of betrayal bc it Does Not make sense Nor matter in the slightest #but cmonnnn we were doing so well. and my little bro's starting up school again soon and my dad's gotta go back to work #sometimes eventually (<- hes on medical leave) and my grandparents are coming over next week We're Losing Time Soon #ughhh if i'd known the olympics were happening (<- somehow completely oblivious to this) i'd have accounted for #my mom getting whisked away by the land of synchronized divers and shot putters and whatever the hell #happens in the summer olympics (<- only pays attention to winter olys)#bc that always happens. and *i* have to go back to school in Some Amount Of Time Im Too Scared To Check (p sure it's late aug though) and #when that happens i'll (hopefully) be stuck across town which means we won't be able to do it any time besides the weekends #and i don't wannaaaaa #i know this is the least important problem anyone's ever had like i get that i know but #it's important to me that they sit down and watch this with me. and watching it pull apart and being #the one who's easily the most invested it makes me look all desperate when i ask them for their time and they can't give it #we can only pull this off neatly in the summer and we were so close and now we're losing it right at the finish line #i don't want life to get in the way of this little bubble i've fought so hard to make y'know #and it's childish and embarrassing and whatever but i just want them to have fun with me with this thing i care about a lot #but i can't do that bc my mom needs to watch the judo matches at Every weight class #even though she's recording a lot of them? i don't understand but whatever i know it's her thing im just moping about it ig #i want it to be as perfect an experience for them as possible and it's slipping away from me #and i don't wanna leave this project unfinished when i start school y'know. sighh #i think they might feel like i only want them around when we're watching stuff. whcih is weird bc that's like #The Singular Way we family bonded literally my whole life so idk why they wouldn't get that when reversed #but either way that IS how i wanna spend time with them. i want them to understand this thing that's become a part of me #and i wanna talk With them about it. and so far it's been fun in a way it's never been before. my mom at least seems to really like it #and i want it to Keep going well bc if we lose momentum im worried they'll start finding it tedious. sighh
