. HARDER! . I used to have a 50"" waste and need to walk with a stick. I now have a 38"" waste and dance a lot for hours. It took a lot of effort and will to do that. losing weight IS extremely difficult! . And so far... I have kept the weight off! . BUT I AM TELLING YOU ALL THIS,  RIGHT NOW!! . Losing 10 lbs in weight, and keeping it off for years, is piss easy ... ...compared to trying to lose a single ounce of Self Loathing, and keeping it gone for a single hour!!! . .
