      I don't know how anyone who is heavily obese can think it is healthy. I got that way very quickly when immobile & on meds & its disabling.

      If you have a lot of weight to lose, it can be hard to get motivation to start coz it will take so long to get where you want. Just do it.

      Imagine if you'd started 6 months ago? I promise you'll feel a bit better in a week, loads better in a month. Set lots of small goals.

      I don't think 'fat shaming' is the answer but there should be a general consensus that it's a problem & friends shld be encouraged to do it.

      Oh dear. I'm not saying weight loss is as easy for ppl whose obesity is caused by an underlying psych issue as it is for ppl without.

      If you gained a lot of weight due to disability & or meds as I did, & then those stop, of course it's much easier to lose it again.

      But that just means ppl with obesity related to mental health issues need more specialised support, not that it isn't a problem to be solved

          They say switching from carb/sugar heavy diets to other sources is the fastest way to drop weight. A friend lost >100 in a year w/low carb

          I go through phases on the 1st but stick to 2nd long term. I'm convinced that both are the key. 👍🏼
