You are offering simple and childish advice to millions who need serious help. Please take the time to think seriously about serious issues before you post simplistic, misguided "solutions."
well, you're talking about the psychology of losing weight. We are referring to the physical aspect of losing weight. People regain the weight b/c they don't have the determination perhaps. Or maybe because they lose focus. Whatever the reason may be, the actualy physical aspect of losing weight is simply eat healthy and exercise.
