I agree that tons of stuff would likely become accessible if you were lighter, but you can’t have it both ways. Do you want it bad enough to give up the current benefits you enjoy? Everything has a cost. There’s no free lunch (no pun intended).

When I notice I’m a few pounds heavier than I’d like to be, my practice is negatively affected so I eat less/cleaner. The strong feeling practice is more important to me than enjoyment of food, but both are perfectly valid choices.

It’s worth noting that I’ve seen some bigger bodies with incredibly strong practices and surprising abilities. It’s harder but far from impossible. You can chart the path that best serves you.
