I’m in pretty good shape currently thanks to being appropriately medicated for executive dysfunction, but in my stock physical configuration I experience constant gnawing hunger that can sometimes reduce my ability to make appropriate decisions or hear myself think. This doesn’t just impact my weight, but also my ability to maintain gainful employment and take care of my stupid body.
Once you are overweight, everything is harder to do. Existence is painful and it’s hard to put together motivation to improve things. You want people to lose weight? Work on getting rid of societal stressors. Tax unhealthy food and incentivize farmers markets. Create walkable neighborhoods.
What doesn’t help is telling people to man up and stop being so
