It&#x27;s not really worth it, though. If I eat much less than I do now I just suffer, and the weight loss quickly plateaus at a point that doesn&#x27;t have any aesthetic value and isn&#x27;t likely to improve my health.<p>So I can weigh a little less by becoming obsessed with what I eat and always being in a bad mood. And I get no credit from the smug thin people who still see me as a lazy obese person.
