      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.

      Now I'm fully mobile & off them, it's coming off fast & I feel better & am able to do more every week. We're only built to carry so much.

      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
