[vent] does anyone else get frustrated at larger folks who want to lose weight? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm a short person. I'm also sedentary and classified as overweight but not obese. As such, my TDEE is around 1600-1700 calories. So, to lose weight at the pace I'd like, I have to restrict myself to 1200 calories a day.

My partner is taller, fatter and has more muscle mass than me. He's talked about wanting to lose weight to get healthier, but when it comes down to it he won't do anything. Which is baffling to me, because his TDEE is high enough that he could eat waaay more than me and still lose weight.

Ugh. It's frustrating.

Is it beer? I know that's where my extra calories mostly come from.

I went to the pub this week and had only alcohol free beer. It was surprisingly okay and calotype-wise i still managed to stay within my budget.
