Question by Original_Syn: Why does thinking of my obesity as a “disease” help keep me motivated to lose weight?
I’ve always been a yo yo dieter who struggles to stick to any diet or plan for “eating healthier”. I always have horrible cravings.

However, this week, I began to think of my obesity as a disease that I have to fight, kind of like diabetes, cancer or alcoholism. And for some reason, that has helped me a lot Every time I feel tempted to have a Big Mac, I start thinking, “Okay Lyn, that’s the disease talking. Fight it!” and it helps my cravings.

Whenever I don’t feel like eating vegetables, I think of it as a “treatment” (kinda like medication) and it helps me to want to eat them.
