    I guarantee you don’t know shit about anyone’s health in your social circle because you think of yourself so highly that you can diagnose others just by how they ‘look’.

    ‘Simply follow CICO’ is another way of saying 'I don’t understand how metabolic and hormonal disorders work, I am privileged with access to healthy food and don’t live in a food desert, I don’t work multiple jobs and feed a family of 4, I don’t know what it’s like to lack the biochemistry to ever feel full after eating a meal, I don’t struggle with eating disorders.

    Obesity is a health problem. Saying that ‘someone who otherwise doesn’t have health problems is not making an effort to stay healthy’ is as stupid as saying depressed people who don’t have health problems aren’t making an effort to stay happy.

    ‘Not making an effort’ from you says more about how easy and privileged you have it than how lazy other people are. Grow up and learn to have more empathy than a 3 year old.

      I don’t base it off how they look. I base it off their actions. I see them going out and getting 1000 calorie fast food combo meals for lunch every day and then talking about their Uber order on discord later that night. Eating an entire pizza and then getting an entree when we go out to the bar. Shit like that.

      I don’t eat healthy food. I eat mostly fast food and boxed crap from costco my housemates make and I rarely feel full after eating a meal. Feeling full is not the goal when I eat, If you’re eating calorie dense stuff you have to get used to not being full. Your stomach also gets smaller over time if you do this so it takes less to feel “full” when you do.
