Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm Ian.
I have struggled with my weight all my life, tried more diets than you can shake a stick at and basically had the same result, lose weight and then it just goes straight back on. I've now got the diagnosis that my metabolism is all to cock and will always struggle. My GP and the very kind consultant at the hospital are exploring the possibility of me having a gastric bypass now as it would be the only way to control my wayward innards.
What I was leading onto was my previous GP put me on Orlistat, which at the time was prescription only but you can now buy over the counter as XLS Medical. I followed the instructions to the letter and did lose some weight, however the side effects were horrendous, stomach cramp, nausea and needing to be close to a lavatory all the time. That was over 20 years ago and I still have problems caused by the drug.
As previous posts say you have to use more energy that you take in and re-educate your entire system to accept less input.

I'm sorry to hear that you might need a gastric bypass Ian, that sounds very nasty
That Orlistat sounds very bad...

I only mentioned Orlistat as a precautionary tale, a lot of people do very well with it but I would recommend anyone thinking of trying it to talk to their GP first.

Get those skinny jeans out Ian and be ready to squeeze into them
I will definitely not be trying Orlistat or any other drug, I'll just stick to SW and be much healthier for it...
Good luck with the gastric bypass if you go ahead with it, I'll be thinking of you...
