[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a complete fantasy that excess weight (and I mean more than 20 lbs overweight) causes zero health problems.

When you have more weight for your body to carry, it necessarily puts more pressure on your muscles and bones. At the extreme, it's harder for doctors to do surgery because they have to cut through the fat.

[b]For some people, they can't help it,[/b] but for many it's PREVENTABLE.

That's why it's completely different from having special needs and comparing the two is offensive. [/quote]

I live with a man whose thyroid is shot. His whole body is designed to hang onto every calorie he can. He starved himself once, right before we got together, and lost 100 pounds - and was still overweight. And as soon as he started eating normally again he packed it back on again.

He could be more active. He could eat better. But I see how hard he's tried to lose weight in a permanent way, and how nearly impossibly it would be for him to do so.

So GFY. I'm going to guess you're thin, have always been thin, and have no idea what it's like to try to be thin when your body doesn't want to be. If it really were just a matter of eating better and exercising more, don't you think Oprah - with her infinite resources and live in the public eye - would have managed that by now?[/quote]

Reading is fundamental.
