@random_eddie Reread the article. -
@random_eddie The odds of long-term weight loss are worse than the odds of long-term heroin use without addiction--and for similar reasons. -
@random_eddie Seriously. I've lost 70 lbs, and I've quit amphetamines. Quitting speed was far, far easier.

@St_Rev I call BS. I'm down >30 lbs, and I've kept it off for > 5 yrs. Much $$ to be made in selling excuses. -
@SteelValleySpec Congratulations! You are fortunate. -
@SteelValleySpec However, the statistics are clear: a medical intervention with dieting's success rate (any diet) would never pass the FDA. -
@SteelValleySpec I guess it can be comforting to believe that 95% of fat people are just morally weak and deserve what they get? -
@St_Rev I don't know what morality has to do with it. I don't think anyone said it is evil to be fat.
