Body shaming, and "My Big Fat Fabulous Life"

[Athene]

---

No one's disputing that a calorie deficit is what's need to lose weight. Calories in/calories out; Everyone gets that. It's also understood that personal choices impact weight, and that easy access to an overabundance of food and a sedentary lifestyle are contributors to obesity. No argument with you there. 

What you've chosen to ignore are the various processes and functions within the human body that can make achieving this deficit exceedingly difficult, as your "preference" appears to be attributing unsuccessful outcomes almost exclusively to character flaws/personal failure. In regards to overweight and obese individuals, it's  well-known, well-documented and well-proven that "greed" isn't the sole factor affecting calories in,  and that "laziness" isn't the only factor that impacts the calories out part of the equation. Yet, you're here categorically dismissing any and all mention of the associated neurological and biochemical factors as being not a big deal, rare, excuses and or lies....all while maintaining that your musings should be considered completely rational.

I'm sorry Captain, but I don't see it. Not in this thread, anyway.

I don't know who you are replying to, but if you are going to get all huffy, maybe you should at least read my posts.

Huffy? No sir, Captain.
Bear in mind...I'm not the one who's offended or irritated by obese people being on television.

I didn't use greed or laziness at all. In fact I said the exact opposite of fat people are lazy. 

And according to you, weight loss is simply a matter of calories in/calories out, and that's it. You've essentially dismissed any of the underlying physiological and psychological contributors as being atypical, excuses, lies, or of little significance. If you believe none of those things are of particular relevance, how do you suppose a person comes to be obese, then? Honest question.

I'm here to learn.
