I'm not obese, but I was.

There is a weird Internet cult that celebrates obesity, but I think plenty who live in the "nothing you can do" camp internalized bad advice, got nowhere with it, and gave up.

I was in that "nothing you can do camp" for almost 30 years. Until I learned that I was a carbohydrate addict and carbohydrates are not necessary to live, I gave up completely.

Giving up is the only option after trying and failing diets and exercise programs your whole life. I started dieting when I was ~6 years old.
