[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A healthy diet eaten in moderation and daily exercise cures obesity. Who knew? lol[/quote]

Some people in this thread think this is a disordered approach.[/quote]

No they don’t. They think someone acting like this is a revelation (and dropping other flags all over the field) clearly is struggling to overcome disordered thinking. [/quote]

THIS.[/quote]

Well if it’s so obvious why don’t more people do it?[/quote]

I agree. I think people are just jealous that op was able to do something [/quote]

No not jealous. "cured" is a terrible vocabulary word to have used. 
[/quote]

Why is it terrible? 
[/quote]

Still waiting on the answer to this. Why is “cured” a “terrible vocabulary word” here? 
[/quote]

Really? "Cured". What about the definition of the word "cure" in this context do you not understand? It's a horrible word to use about weight loss or weight struggles. What is she going to do follow her DC around her whole life with a scale? Or police her activity levels  or her food intake when her DC is say 21 and in college? [/quote]

As someone currently struggling with their weight, I think cured is the appropriate word. While we continue to maintain that obesity is a diagnosis, and a protected disability (i.e.. you can't kick someone off a plane because they're too fat to sit in the seat in a way where it's comfortable for the next passenger, etc) then cured is the right word. You (we) can't have it both ways. Either obesity is considered some sort of illness or it isn't.

If obesity is not a diagnosis and not a disability then people should be able to be discriminated against for it, when it's something that negatively affects the business and/or other customers.[/quote]
