> How exactly you limit your calorie intake while starting to burn off more, i.e. the specific diet is the uninteresting part. You first need the mental framework that allows you to change your habits
Not sure about your specific strategy of fat shaming yourself, but the above quote is on point.
At the end of the day it all comes back to reducing calorie intake. However you can trick yourself into doing that long-term, great.
For me it was becoming vegan (and lost 50 lbs in about 10 months). I didn't go vegan because I want to "save the animals" or anything. Purely a way to (severely) limit the available options when eating out at restaurants, shopping for groceries, etc. No more fried chicken 5 days a week!
