I've lost roughly 100 pounds a couple years ago. I did it mostly through increase in activity than reducing my food intake (although obviously I did both with switching to water and diet drinks being the biggest change). I've been pretty static in the normal weight range for over a year now so a lot of my friends and colleagues forget that I use to be obese but I met up with some friends today for a skate, I showed up with some McDonalds, and later started talking about the holidays:
Me: "I got so much Christmas chocolates, just finished it all but I ate a full big bag worth of M&M's (roughly 1000 calories) yesterday alone!"
Friend: "You're so lucky you can eat like you do and stay thin. It's not fair, if I ate like you I would weigh so much!"
Had to bite my tongue and honestly took it as a huge compliment but my friend also knew I had run a 30 KM on Friday, did a 3 hour hike this morning, was currently skating straight for over an hour (while the rest of the group was taking multiple breaks), and I intend to run another half marathon tomorrow but somehow didn't associate my eating habits with my exercise.
