I was feeling super depressed a few days ago about my 50 pound weight gain over the last 11 years and my partner reassured me by saying that weight loss is a sham. I'm now going to finally buy clothes that fit my body and stop shaming myself for no longer fitting into medium sized clothes. This post came at a time that I needed to hear this. I will not try to diet. I will exercise for my mental health and I will happily live with this extra weight and not judge myself.

I think this is extremely under reported. I know lots if people that go on and off diets continuously. Up and down and up and down. They do not seem to see the direct line from their weight cycling to their slower metabolism, depression, and a myriad of other things wrong. Either that or they ignore it.
