Just being alive burns off a certain amount. And "high" is relative, so in order to become obese you NEED to be eating a high amount of food without burning it off, which means that you WILL be eating a high amount of food, whatever high is depending on your age, height and weight. Anyone can lose weight by simply eating less than what they use. Calories In, Calories Out.

You don't become OBESE by eating a slim person's diet The fatlogic and delusion

Didn't you just contradict yourself?

Anyways, it's very possible. It's all about the conditions.

Well yeah but that doesn't prove anything?

You can burn calories doing nothing but depending on certain medical conditions you have you may burn even less than normally doing absolutely nothing and eating a regular diet could potentially lead to obesity. As I just said, it has nothing to do with how much you eat, it's the actual food intake you have and how much you burn off.

Eating less won't help if they still aren't burning anything off and they can still become obese

Off course it matters how much you eat. More specifically how much calories you consume.

If you're obese you only have yourself to blame.

It should be accepted but it shouldn't be advocated. People need to know how obesity affects one's health. Cherry coating an issue under the premise that everyone is beautiful isn't really the best thing to come out of political correctness this last year.

Everyone is beautiful, but at the end of the day you're still obese and someone needs to tell you that if you can have serious health problems if you don't take your eating habits seriously.

Tbh, it's all in the approach. The problem is that people really do readily tell people that they are "fat and ugly".

I think telling people that they are beautiful should be more in the aspect of telling them to love themselves, but also to love themselves as much as to take care of their body to work and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Because let's be real, being happy that you're fat is not really healthy, but you can turn that into a positive by loving the skin you're in NOW, and working the weight off gradually.

Yes, you can.

My brother eats a ton of food and he's very slim. My aunt eats way less than him and she's obese because her thyroid doesn't work well.

Also you don't just "simply" eat less. Some people are literally addicted to food.

Your aunt is lying or delusional. She's obese because she eats too much.

It depends what "accepted" means. It shouldn't be "accepted" in in terms of public health. I do have to add some reservations, fat people shouldn't be discriminated against. Employment and work ethic have nothing to do with someone's weight. There is also a gender imbalance when it comes to how the USA views weight. Women often in normal BMI are labeled fat, while some men with overweight or even obese BMI are more likely given a pass. We also shouldn't make fun of anyone for being fat, for one that doesn't address the situation and ignores the larger fundamental causes, and secondly, it is nonconstructive.

With all that being said we shouldn't let the above reservations stop us from having a conversation about public policy. We should aim for policies that reduce obesity, especially childhood obesity, in a gender neutral and constructive way. Reducing inequality and poverty, then further education (finishing high school and going to college) will go long ways.

Not you acting like you know her personally. You should really mind your own business when it comes to health, unless you're their doctor.

That's a great way to word it.

I'm sure her doctor has already told her to stop eating so much. Having thyroid problems cannot make the food you eat magically expand and create more mass inside your body. Calories In, Calories Out.

A lot of those people are plagued by emotional/psychological issues for the reason why they are attached to food. And honestly while the doctor isn't wrong, that's still not really addressing the issue at hand though.

it really upsets me that there's a current trend of threads like this as of late. I don't know why people are so consumed in other people's personal health and lives. like lgstan said, there's a difference between spreading awareness and spreading hate.

[BabyCantYouSee]

NO. I knew a person who died due to being obese.

This should be accepted? Get a grip, guys.

[UnusualBoy]

No because it is not healthy.

I agree. Most end up going to therapy too.

I mean, for her it's "too much", but for someone else it would be normal. (she's not lying about the disease she has and takes medication for it)

Does she really have to eat just salads to have an acceptable body type? When you're skinny with a fast metabolism you don't realize how it's a blessing that you can eat enough to be happy without gaining weight. My aunt does her best to eat as healthy as possible, but there's a limit and I completely understand that. You can't judge people when you're not in their position.

Like we all know obesity is not healthy. Is it really that much of a problem to not judge people?

No. Obesity is not healthy. It increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and much more. People choosing to live a unhealthy life style make health insure more exspenive for everyone.
