Less than 20 % of highly committed, dues paying members of Weight Watchers meet their lifetime goal and that is with a full schooling of behavior modification. Of those only 20 % keep their weight off for 5 years or more. That means less than 4% are truly successful.
You have to change your relationship with food and give up the poison everyone now consumes (and is the underpinning of modern farming and marketing). Bariatric surgeons know they are the only thing that works (somewhat or temporarily) with the poison food meth-like addicted fat Americans.
You can blame farmers, you can blame Agro-culture giants, you can blame chemical and genetic modification companies, you can blame government, you can blame marketers, you can blame parents who don’t know chit about food and cooking, you can blame human weakness in one of the most essential desires, and you would all be correct. Obesity is a planned outcome. You are considered consumer livestock where the goal is to fatten you up by having you purchase as much crap as possible and to use the medical system to keep you alive as long as possible so you can buy more crap and keep getting fatter. The Wuhoo screws with the model.
...the poison everyone now consumes...

I rarely shop the aisles, concentrating on the perimeter of the store, but there are packaged & frozen items I routinely purchase. Every once in a while, I’ve tried some of the frozen, packaged, processed offerings or something in a can purporting to be delicious..
They are terrible! Nothing ever looks like the pic on the package, there is always less than it implies,and the taste is lacking. Textures are also elided so that the result is bland or overpowering flavors within something that is essentially mushy.
That inoculates me for another few years. I’d rather learn to make whatever triggered my appetite from scratch. It’s always better.
