First of all, let me say "Good for you! Hope that works for you." And the fact that you are male will take you a long way.

What you are trying works for many, many people but to imply that that's all that ANYone has to do to lose weight is terribly misinformed. There are MANY MANY reasons that people can't lose weight. Yes, I said CAN'T, not "won't". I am sick of hearing "If you want it bad enough, you will do it".

NO one wants it more than I do! NO ONE! I could get help for my weight issues......IF I had a few thousand dollars lying around! I'm not talking about surgery...I'd never do that. God made our bodies work the way they are supposed to work, who am I to mess with that?

Just enjoy the fact that a man's metabolism is very different than a woman's and stop thinking that just "believing" you won't eat something is the magic solution that we all would love to have.

Encourage people, don't belittle people. Weight loss is NOT like anything else..... BELIEVE THAT!
