<human>: I know 'homeostasis' probably isn't exactly the right word but I feel like one of the reasons losing weight is so hard for me is because it's so outside of the norm. Again, I know how obvious that sounds but you are telling your body to ignore some pretty basic and often times habitual urges. Basically, I'm just writing this to remind myself that we deny ourselves all kinds of 'urges' to maintain that our goals get accomplished. Usually, these sacrifices are intellectual, (school, and job) but when it comes to weight, in relation to food consumption, these sacrifices are at the plate tectonics of our existence. When we mess with those plates, we get an earthquake that disrupts everything a can release the worst in us. Who here hasn't been temperamental staving off food? Hasn't had food after 5 and hasn't psychically had to turn away from the fridge or force them not to get in their car to a golden arch abyss open 24 hours a day?

I visit this subreddit and I am always greeted by very black and white pictures of gain and loss, lists itemizing food and exercise regiments. And although this is great for the people already on the train, it seems like there's disconnect between the 'Just Do It' attitude and the very real psychology of weight loss. Is there an alternative subreddit like, weight loss therapy? Perhaps this problem has already been addressed by different threads? Or perhaps I am misinterpreting things and this problem is being falsely manufactured?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Losing weight is as hard on the mind as it is the body, is there a less black and white approach to take action toward? Or am I misunderstanding something?
