fat people are a problem that solves itself. they die young, and are physically unattractive so they are less likely to have children.

What God wants, God gets, God help us all
My parents have tons of obese relatives on both sides of their families. They are both physically fit, or in my mother's case, actually a little underweight.

Both me and my brother are giant obese sacks of poo poo and I'd say it's a combination of diet and sedentary lifestyle that are the main contributors to our obesity. However, even during times of my life where I've worked 40+ hours a week in physically demanding jobs, watched my diet and gone to the gym, I've never been not fat. I don't have any of the gland problems or whatever doctors test for because I got tested once, so I won't use that for an excuse.

In high school I had weightlifting class which was nothing but running and lifting weights, in addition to doing swimming and walking on my own time (small towns are great for exploring on foot), being involved in wrestling (read two hours of running and wrassling non-stop on a reduced diet) etc, and still being a pudgy gently caress.

Hell, when I was a kid I rode my bike, ran around and swam all the time and I was still a fat gently caress.

Soda, and later booze, are large avoidable sources of calories that I have been cut out before. It's just disheartening when I eat smaller portions of everything, lean meat, eggs, plenty of vegetables and some fruit for a few months without cheating while exercising multiple times a week and lose ten pounds at ~425.

I figure at this point I'm just retarded or something. Maybe it has to do with chronic depression and some of the meds I used to take? Those particular meds kept me from killing myself at the time, but I gained about 60 pounds in a year on them, which is how I got up to the 420s in the first place. I'm on different poo poo now, obviously. Maintained the same weight give or take ten pounds for about five-six years since.

I guess I'll just keep trying. :shrug:

E: Getting a CPAP stabilized my weight a lot, but I still have trouble sleeping because of depression or mania with BPD. So lack of regular sleep sure doesn't help.

Can happen if your parents feed you the wrong things or too much as a kid too. You get adipocyte doubling then you'rehurting like that for the rest of your life.

So i live in new zealand and recently the first generation of super fats reached 30/40 and have started dropping like flies. This is creating a significant problem in mortuaries as the only real infrastructure to deal with them are gurney winch things which top out at around 300lb. The influx of fatties is gonna necessitate the purchase of literal corpse cranes and probably the total rebuilding of the country's largest morgues.

That woman who is kinda thick and can't seem to lose that last 20 pounds probably can blame it on genetics.

That super obese woman who weighs 400 loving pounds can't. There is no way that not being able to run/move plus getting gestational diabetes when you get pregnant is a direction evolution would go in.

Like, fat is ok. Some people are gonna be fat. 20-30 pounds overwieght can happen. That's not what we are talking about. America has a epidemic of people who are no longer human shaped.

I am a master storyteller.
Around 350 years ago there was a dude named Ibrahim, who was insane and also sultan of the Ottoman Empire. He also had a fatty fetish, which he developed after seeing a cow or something. So he sent his men out to find the fattest woman in the world. They came back with a woman named Sugar Cube who probably weighed around 330 pounds.

Now a days pretty much any Golden Corral or Walmart in the South would be that dude's sexual Valhalla, but I don't think genetics have changed that much in the last 350 years.

There are some people out there with legitimate medical issues that stop them being able to lose too much weight. Like serious issues that result in their body shutting down organs before it will try touching the last few pounds of fat.

Those people are a small minority of the overweight.

I suspect a big part of the issue is that many don't recognise how calorie dense a lot of our food is compared to what was available to our ancestors. So they hear "eat less", actually do eat less, but still balloon out because even at "small" sizes they are eating crazy amounts of calories.
