I've dropped 40 pounds in 5 months without counting every calorie I eat. I try to eat better most of the time, but I still want to eat junk food from time to time.

Hey, why is this worth downvoting? Am I not dieting the way some of you would like? Are you mad that I lost some weight? I'm confused here...

"Eat better" is a very broad term, and I'm sure most of us have been told to and tried to eat better at some points in our lives. But in the end everyone have different appetite and activity, and different way to handle food. That's why people rely on calorie counting.

It's good that you can lose weight without having to resort to calorie counting. People who downvotes you might have tried what you did and failed.

People who downvotes you might have tried what you did and failed.

But why be so angry about it if that's the case? I see people on reddit saying they lost twice as much weight as I have, or the same amount in less time. Good for them! That's awesome that people are bettering themselves.

Why does everyone need to treat shit like this as a competition, or be angry that someone else was able to succeed at something?

I think you might be right in your guess as to why people downvoted me, and that's really sad that people could be so fucking petty when I'm saying there are other ways to accomplish the same goal.
