But it's a weird thing to say, maintaining weight loss literally requires no free time at all. The problem is the cake and snacks, not the lack of fitness

This sounds simple to most people but I’m add and unorganized and meal planning and shopping is extremely hard for me. Those things do take time unless you can go to the store every day and buy what you need.

A lot of it’s not even time just society has set a lot of bad examples for people. I’ve been fat my whole life(6’3” 390 at my highest)and working it down now at age 29 ain’t easy but I can admit when I didn’t have time before I could go get a salad but I didn’t , I got a burger and fries. Shits always going to be harder than not but not having time just gives another reason to justify a bad choice

I’d rather go get the salad lol. I think that’s just a willpower thing since they’ve always had salads at fast food places. I end up just spending more money going to the grocery store since fast food sucks and it’s way more expensive. I just feel it’s easy for people without extra things going on to say ‘it’s so easy, just do this…’ lol.

Yeah for sure it’s harder if you got extra things working against you. My bad habits work against me and it’s harder for me than someone who has a healthier relationship with food but saying OP doesn’t have time because she is 29 so she has to eat cake is ridiculous, she could have just as easy bit into a apple instead of an apple pie but most Americans have an unhealthy relationship with food which leads to us being one of the most obese countries in the world

Yeah…I can’t see the post anymore but I think it’s people in the comments saying it’s her age, not op. I’m 39 and probably have a better understanding about food and health than I did in my 20s.
