    The excuses fat people are making in this thread are unbelievable.

    “I eat too many calories because I’m poor, I have kids and I work a lot of hours”. None of that is stopping them from putting down the fork, nor are all people in a similar position over weight.

    It’s simply a combination of greed and the inability to delay gratification. Why have a nice healthy body in a few months or years when you can have cake now?

      I don’t know. I’m not overweight but I am almost always hungry and it does suck. I could easily see myself deciding F it. I have degenerative back disease that motivates me to keep my weight down. Anyway, attributing it entirely to willpower is naive, a lot of folks are just dealing with life and weight isn’t as big of a priority to them as maybe their doctor or presumably yourself would like it to be. If I didn’t get back pain I could easily see myself not worrying about it. Stop acting like you know everyone’s life or that everyone who has different priorities than you are somehow week, you come across like a giant know it all piece of shit.

        You’re talking as if eating less is a hard thing to do. It’s not, it’s just whether you can delay the idea of excess food now in exchange for a nice/healthy body later. Most adults are smart enough to know that if offered £10 today or £20 tomorrow, they’ll go for tomorrows option, but for some reason fat people aren’t willing to exchange an excessive diet now for good health and a nice body later.

        It’s physically more effort to eat more than it is to eat less. You don’t have to prioritise losing weight to be able to eat smaller portions. The food isn’t putting itself in to people’s mouths, although given the range of excuses here, I am surprised that no one’s claimed that they’re being force fed yet.

        At the end of the day, I don’t care what someone else’s body weight is, but if you don’t like being called fat and you’re simultaneously going to make 101 excuses about why you can’t just eat a bit less, then what can I say? Pathetic.
