@DC5FAN @GoyGirl @s2208 @ChadleyDudebro @tyler @arm_barbarian here in rural Texas, almost everyone is fat. idk, man, what can I tell you. I come from the old school. I was raised to have self-control of my eating. there was a long period when I couldn't quite pull that off, and I weighed almost 180 lbs. the more I progress spiritually, the more I am able to control my belly, altho I have a long way to go there. this has nothing to do with the secular concept of "dieting" but Orthodox fasting helped me to regain health in my relationship to food. we fell from God's grace through a refusal to abstain from certain foods.
