This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Losing weight is not an easy thing to do if you've been overweight most of your life. You literally have to fundamentally change everything about your life just to get it done. And it's a slow process and a commitment that you have to stick to for months or even years. It can really fuck with your motivation when the progress is so slow you could go months and only lose like 10 pounds. I only went from 250 to about 150 but it was one of the hardest things I've done and I've quit smoking.

You should weigh yourself in kilos. 1 pound is about 0.5 kilos, so twice the progress.

Edit: never mind, I can't do math

Isn't it the other way around? A kilo is about 2.2lbs

Yes it is, I fixed it. Now it doesn't makes sense I said "twice the progress". You loose 20 or 40 kilos was my idea, but that's wrong...
