(+) Yeah! (+)

There's no secret, it's calories in calories out, eat one meal a day, you won't die.

calories go in, calories go out, you can't explain that

They all agreed they'd go on a diet when you can go 2 consecutive days without being complaining about money or politics.

Not really. I'm just not interested.

I'm not allowed to lose weight or I'll get fired

Not all calories are created equally

Eh, I think most of them must just have really bad self discipline. It's probably rooted in their upbringing.

Clear fragrant with the weight loss secret that stuns researchers!
---

I don't have my shit together in general, I watch what I eat for the most part but I don't make an effort to lose weight.
---

it's better to burn out than to fade away
---

I don't give a shit about my health and food tastes good so why bother
---

It's hard because I'm not mentally strong enough to resist cravings
---

Yes, I'm on a water fast, we've been over this.

I did

It's more than that. Dismissing people like that is like dismissing all alcoholics or people hooked on cocaine.

Many of these people are probably more successful than you, so it's not like you can dismiss them all as being undisciplined.

It is learned behavior yes, but not an issue of discipline, because it really doesn't take a person whose always lived uber healthy that much willpower to do the exact same things.

Dramatic changing of lifestyle is no easy task for anybody.

i go to the gym 3 times a week before work and i think it may have been the worst decision of my life
---

I could lose a few pounds but really I'm not in any rush to do so because I just bought new clothes and obviously they won't fit as well if I slim down some

and food tastes good, I am not going to live my life only having pleasure on "cheat days" lol
---

I only eat pizza and childish foods because I never learned self restraint or tried expanding my horizons so now I'm 700 lb and can't leave the house but at least I don't have a diet of a boring old person who only eats stuff like kale and lentils and must be miserable because there's no way other people can find happiness outside of food and you don't know me or my life

Losing weight is for poor people

I mean if you're going to simplify it to this extent you might as well start telling depressed people to just stop being sad

Or poor people to stop being poor

Depression can be a hormone imbalance beyond someone's control.

Poverty/Wealth is an arbitrary system, even then you need to acquire money to not be poor.

With obesity, it's literally a matter of eat less food. If you're obese, you are by definition eating more food than you physically need, and it's a simple matter of eating less food. You're the one putting the food into your mouth, do that less.

Come on clear. Yes it's ultimately up to the person to work on themselves and lose weight, but let's not simplify or minimize the impact food has on many people.

So would you be this glib with drug addicts?

im not fat, so im good
---

Eh, I don't care about my personal health in general, as I don't want to prolong my life any longer than necessary, so being fat doesn't bother me and slimming down doesn't benefit me anyway.
---

Because I've given up on my life. What's it to you?

Lol, sit down kid. You have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a question.

I was skinny, didn't care for it. Kept getting sick, beaten up, cold all the time.

Being muscular is too much work. 40 hours a week doesn't leave much free time.

And as long as I can get around I really don't care what other people think. Rather looking forward to dying alone. I'll enjoy the piece and quiet.

And starving yourself doesn't loose weight as much as mass. It just plain isn't healthy and causes more harm then good. Professional athletes eat a lot because they are active. Calories don't just vanish into thin air. You can eat normal servings but still be fat because you are inactive, like if your idea of passing time is to post troll bait on a forum on the internet.

And I'd rather die fat and happy than old and miserable.
