Weight is a meaningless number unless you're talking about health issues. Health issues are probably the BEST reason to lose weight because obesity leads to so many other horrible results. Is food really that important that you let it ruin so many other quality of life experiences?
We're such a "immediate gratification" culture. I feel, therefore I need to act. It would be better if we didn't care about food so much. Sadly, I really like to eat, I like flavor, I like cheese and chocolate, and I don't always make the best choices when I'm hungry. The long term effects of obesity are far away from my mind when I make the choice to eat something right now. I don't know how to bridge that gap.
You would think that if something made you that unhappy, you wouldn't do it in the same way any more. But, isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
