I want to lose weight. I want books with characters that deal with body obsession or that deal with obesity.

Since being stuck in self-isolation I've actually lost weight. Which is crazy because if I'm working I rarely eat breakfast, and eat a lot less throughout the day more generally. Now I eat three meals a day and snack constantly, but I'm still wasting away.

Just practise intermittent fasting, OP. Your body can survive for a very, very long time with only water.

I'm seething when I see fat people. I can hardly afford food.

i lost like 35 kilos in about a year, ~110 to ~75. it literally is just putting the calories of all the shit you eat into a spreadsheet and reducing it by half. i wouldn't even say it required discipline because the things i eat now ended up being tastier on top of being healthier so i don't actually have any desire to go back to potato chips or whatever. why did nobody tell me it was this easy? from all the whining and arguing in the media i assumed dieting was complicated, torturous and unreliable but i guess it's just another instance of capitalism inventing imaginary problems so they can sell you shit.

No, it's the practitioners of obesity inventing rhetorical devices to justify why they shouldn't have to quit eating potato chips or drinking sugar-water. Frankly it comes down to economization for me. I'd rather eat 4lbs of vegetables and yogurt than 220grams of potato chips, because it's a lot more filling despite those two portions sharing a close caloric value.

I could give you a hundred advice that you won't apply so fuck this.
Just read Re:Trailer Trash, that's the only book I can think of.

You don't need a book
1. Download MyFitnessPal from the playstore
2. Get a food scale
3. Calculate your TDEE here: https://tdeecalculator.net/
4. Find the 'CUT' section
5. Weigh your food and log it in the app, don't eat more than the number you found in section 4
Optional
6. Exercise

That's it bro. If you need some motivation I think David Goggins has a book but you shouldn't rely on motivation, only on self discipline.
Best of luck comrade

American Psycho ain't bad to develop even more insecurities that might push you to change. Helped me lose weight when I was obese.
