I have lost friends over this simple sentence to describe the process of weight loss:  "It isn't easy, but it is simple." <  1e0d  p>The reeeeeeing is always intense after I drop that.  And I'm not even being as shitlordy as I really want to be when I say it.  It really isn't that hard at all to eat less food, but I guess if you're used to 3000 calorie meals five times a day it might seem hard.
