Absurd obesity imho always points to behavioral problems. Like laziness or eating to compensate for frustration or even depression.

These miserable feelings I can relate to very well.

But not doing something about them - no matter if you believe into therapy or not - I regard as giving up.

You don't even need a physician to tell you about possible consequences of obesity.

Simply "listening" to how you feel is completely adequate. Then again: Not at least trying to do something about it, I simply can't get. So this is kind of hard to accept for me. "Change" is seemingly always harder and more painful than sticking to what you know, sadly.

Of course, the easiest exit on this is to point to others to not be "tolerant" enough.

It is the easiest way to non-solve any problem: Only looking where it simply isn't located.

Well I weighed myself yesterday and am finally overweight again instead of obese. By body fat % am still obese though, but women it's like 30%+ to be obese and men it's 25%+. I agree that obesity is related to numerous problems. I just ate too much because the food was there, but I became more depressed and joints hurted bc I never weighed that much. Of course, a person that is more obese than me will see me as skinny, but South and East Asians see me as fat. Like I'm not fat in the US or UK, but in Pakistan or South Korea, I'm a blimp there. I consider myself kinda fat, but I know now to just generally keep that opinion to myself when I live in the US or Canada.

Everything is easier said than done.

I can relate.
