    Nice post. Option 2 is something I would pick, but just to be rich, even for a short time...oh, how many bills need to be paid. XD

    Wow! A great post! I was not expecting that! I was expecting you to try to sell me something to make me financially rich, instead you sold me the attitude to be rich in body.

    If I may ask a silly question, what does VLCD stand for?

    Thanks.

    @dtherio it means Very Low Calorie Diet

    Not a silly question... My bad for not spelling out the acronym in the OP!

    I challenge you to ALLOW YOURSELF...
    - GRACE to lose weight slowly. Adjust your timelines to allow yourself time to change the way you approach food.
    - ROOM to make mistakes... no one can do this perfectly! You will have days where you feel like you have failed. It is OK. Just keep trying.
    - FREEDOM to have those foods you feel you cannot live without. Find a way to fit an occasional treat into your life
    - PERMISSION to love yourself as you are, knowing that you are working towards being healthier.
    - REALISM... set realistic goals for what you want to look like... recognize your body type and see what thinner versions of those body types look like. (If you have a massive chest, you likely won't look like Kate Hudson when you lose your weight!)

    This!

    Thank you! This is so true and it took me a while to understand this when I started my fitness journey. I remember several times in the past, I would start eating healthy and exercising and would get discouraged when I hadn't lost 20lbs in one month! Very unrealistic, I know. I spent many years in frustration because of this.

    Last year with my sister's encouragement, I eventually started slow, eating clean and working out 4 times a week, while only loosing 1 -2lbs (max) a week. I kept at it and before long, I was 20lbs lighter and that's when I eventually understood everything this post was about.

    I've always been the one to automatically state that things are scams. Cause they are. All of those "programs", special diets, etc. are just that:scams. The ONLY legitimate way to lose weight the healthy, correct, long-term sustainable way is through a caloric deficit and regular exercise. Not products. I've never bought a single product for weight loss and I've lost 55 lb in 11 months. (Slow weight loss is BEST for sustainability and also for your health -plus it produces better body results). I am baffled at how many people fall for these ridiculous gimmicks.

    It's kind of interesting to me though. When I think about when I was younger, I exercised quite a bit and was always in pretty good shape. There was tons of broscience being thrown at me. I really don't blame people for getting caught up in all of that stuff because I sure did. I was told and/or believed that lifting 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, and eating grass every day was the only way to get really strong and cut. I was a bit ignorant. If people read, do some research, learn from other's experiences, and come to an intelligent conclusion, more power to them. The problem comes when people are faced with facts and choose to ignore them and believe what they want to believe anyway. It only took me about 20 years to learn from my mistakes. :)

    The problem is that so many fallacies are presented AS facts... and sometimes the hole you've dug seems so deep that you believe you cannot make it out on your own. Those fallacies start to look like the rope ladder to help you out of the hole... when in reality, they end up breaking before you get to the top. (Or some assshole is there waiting to push you back in).

    Sadly... you usually need to find your own way of climbing out. The strength you gain during that struggle is what will keep you from falling back into the hole again.
