I’ve lost 100+ lbs. on two or three occasions in my life. I always inevitably fuck up, get complacent, and put the weight back on, but I’m on maybe a four-year streak this time and still around 170 lbs. If I could have gone back in time and told my original 370 lb. self (circa 2007) that I didn’t just have to eat lettuce and run laps all day to lose the weight, I probably would have actually put in the effort to try. I hate that this misconception is so prominent. These days I just use my fitness pal and I do exactly like you said. Eat whatever the hell I want, but within the limitations I’m given.

You can’t outrun a bad diet. Exercise might build muscle tone and cardio, but it does shit all for losing weight unless you’re running marathons.
