Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular problems are the really unsustainable things here. Get your priorities straight.


Oh wow, that's such a great idea! We never tried telling people to get their priorities straight, but now that you mention it, it seems like such an obvious way to sustained weight loss! You're a genius!


Do you tell people in so many words, "you're going to die soon"?

The obsession with emotional safety that is prevalent these days is probably killing people.


Yeah, we do, and they know. The attitude of "if they just knew they shouldn't eat, their brain wouldn't be broken any more" is tiring, and, frankly, idiotic.

Maybe pull your head out of your ass long enough to realize that nobody wants to be fat under the immense societal pressure of random assholes telling them "you're going to die", and that poor self-control is actually a physical and mental issue.

This is like a tall person telling a short person "just reach higher! Ugh!".
