As some others are saying here, just telling people to exercise more and eat less is not working.

I exercise at a minimum of 35-45 minutes a day, and when I can get out in the warmer months sometimes as much as 90 minutes a day. While it does have its health benefits, it can just make me hungrier.

And sure, I’ve tried eating less. But I find that leads to me being foggy headed, tired, and irritable. Which the leads to more stress too. And let me tell you as remote developer that is not a great way to live your life.

And in the past when I’ve done all that I still plateau around fifteen pounds lost. And if I slip up any, well, I have to work that much harder to get back again.

I’m not sure I’m ready to resort to medication yet, but I can definitely see the appeal.
