As someone who has been both, happy is easier when skinny than it is when fat. There is that popular mantra "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".
You could also replace "skinny" with young here. I was skinny and athletic when I was young, and now I'm slightly overweighted less athletic working WAY more to keep down my weight and health good and damn I'd be so happy to be able to chuck down a kebab a day still ๐ญ
Sort of, but skinny when older still makes it easier to be happy. I am only 41 so far, but in hanging out with people older than me, it still held pretty consistent for them.
The main problem, of course, is that losing weight (or not putting it on in the first place) is not straightforward. So many people will tell you to "just simply..." not how it works. It's complex as hell and varies a surprising amount from person to person. You could go to multiple experts for help before finding a solution for everything that was in your way specifically. But everyone acts like it should just be a simple thing "you just aren't balancing your input and output", or whatever their one simple trick is.
There could be any of hundreds of things in the way.
