Sometimes I see really obese people on TV crying about it because they can hardly move, they can't get any jobs and society critizes them but then when you ask them about their life styles you realize it's all their fault! Who told them to have an entire chicken for breakfast and then some?! If they hadn't eaten like there was no tomorrow and done little or no exercise they wouldn't be like that! I see it as a lack of self-control and low self-esteem. And I'm not even talking about aesthetics, I'm talking about something far more important, health! I love myself and the last thing I want is to have a stroke, or cancer, or osteoporosis, etc, and being overweight causes all of those things. Looking out for one's health isn't that troublesome all it takes is a little self-control and discipline.
i cant beleive how grossly missinformed you are, where to start? why not "when you ask them about their life styles you realize its all their fault" While there life style does need a healthy change, once your already that huge, and can barly move, trying to change your life style will be more harmfull then continueing their downward spiral. Second lets take a look at the genetic factors, while it is true that familys all share simialar weights, that could just imply that they passed down the same unhealthy eating habits, but consider this, acourding to http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/info/perspec...esedit.htm several studies of adoptid identical twins, in different adopted homes had the similar weights, this show encridibly strong evidence of a genetic factor. Moving on, "I see it as a lack of self-control and low self-esteem. And I'm not even talking about aesthetics, I'm talking about something far more important, health!" these people are un healthy in more ways then one, do you ever wonder why they call it morbidly obease? hmmm i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that almost all people that are morbidly obease are clinicly morbidly depressed, mybe if they work through their psycological problems, they can focus on their phsyical problems. I write this not because i am an advocate for the obease, but because i hate when people put down something that they dont fully understand...Obeasity is clasifyed as a dissease becuase bum bum bum, most people that have it need clinical help to cure it, and most of all, it is rareley their fault
