Become snobbish and arrogant asshole. Look down on those who consume junk food. Consider yourself to be above such lowly habits. This way you can social pressure yourself for your own betterment. You might make a few enemies along the way but if you're successful enough you might make new friends who are all equally obnoxious as you have become with your new attitudes. Surround yourself with those you aspire to be. Elitism is the first step on becoming the elite. 1337 diet

There's a kernel of truth in the humor here. The healthiest family I've known are not coincidentally also the most ruthless when it comes to the food that comes into their house. They are pleasant about it, and relax their standards somewhat in social environments, but I think they would be rightfully offended if I showed up to their house with a box of donuts, and immediately toss it after I left.

I know you're being snarky here, but you're not entirely wrong. I am a former fatty who has kept the weight off for over a decade by developing an intense hatred and disgust for being fat. It's really the only thing that works long-term. Hate yourself enough. It works[1]. [1]: One exception to this: do NOT try this approach if you are prone to depressive spirals with positive feedback loops - it could have the opposite effect. This approach is only recommended for people with normal serotonin and mood.

I know you are joking but it works. We have become a society where unhealthy lifestyle is encouraged because we are too afraid to hurt feelings. My health journey basically started with wanting to marry someone out of my league. I saw my friends with unhealthy lifestyles, marrying and having kids with other unhealthy people. And then their kids developing unhealthy habits. Food worship is big in my culture, and so is diabetes and heart diseases. I was unhealthy skinny-fat loser. It is probably the worst body type. This is when I first slowly, then suddenly removed all unhealthy people from my life. I even avoided shopping at places where there were too many obese people like Walmart. I stopped eating at restaurants where there were too many overweight people. No buffets for me. While I lost unhealthy friends, I also developed better friendships with healthier friends. I also adopted new habits and hobbies that brought me in contact with attractive people. Gym, coffeeshops, Whole Foods, yoga. Initially, I felt outsider. But eventually I started to feel like one of them. Also I lost my gut, developed decent back and legs muscles. And it didn't felt like work. I didn't even try any diet or workout program. Just ate where attractive people ate and just used random machines in the gym. Since having kids, I have stopped avoiding unhealthy people and have become more accepting of unhealthy lifestyles. And also gained a lot of weight and struggle to lose it now.
