Self pity got you fat

It's good to take care of yourself, but self pity is toxic (and addicting).

People who make life changes do it by becoming empowered; they didn't do it by crying about it.

    :laugh: Oh Warchortle you're so much fun today!

    I got fat by stuffing all kinds of food in my mouth over a long period of years even while being an athlete and an overcomer. I just couldn't figure out how to overcome that one thing. But then I figured it out :drinker:

    I got fat because it's delicious :happy: . The self pity came later--once I was fat.

    I never pity myself, I'm very hard on myself, which makes me ignore life and responsibilities and health.
    It's a bad never ending cycle.
