In many ways, my weight loss changed my life for the better. But now that I’ve had this “new” body for half a decade, I have more insight into the not-so-intuitive ― and not-so-nice ― consequences of significant weight loss. Weight loss is difficult to do, but simple to conceive: consume less than you burn. Perhaps the most surprising part of significant weight loss: I’ve done all the work, put in all the effort, and still, I struggle ― I still, despite my efforts to the contrary, spend more time hating my body than loving it. And that’s what no one says (but everyone knows) about weight loss: it does matter.
