Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yep. Intermittent fasting is easy but all weight loss is hard. I lost like 40 pounds in less than a year, and then my body rebelled and beat up my brain with a shotgun. Gained it all back over the next two years.
The myth of willpower - and why some people struggle to lose weight more than others
Didn’t know they could do that
Check out the article cRazi_man linked.
Our brains have a lot less control than we like to think, unfortunately. And the reasons weight loss is difficult are numerous. It’s not dissimilar to addiction, in that overcoming it can be easy for some people but incredibly difficult for others. And unfortunately those for whom it is easy don’t realize how good they have it.
It's so frustrating. Stupid human bodies and brains and stupid food made to be super delicious and stuff. I wish I could just go "no thanks!" But it's a nightmare. I keep trying though. Gotta try.
Yep! Never stop trying. I’m like 75% on the horse again, sloooooowly losing weight this time.
