    The vast majority of obese people are not willing to admit they caused their obesity, because it’s a human trait not to admit your faults.

    Humans would much rather paint themselves as the victim because that’s mentally much easier. “I’m obese because of PCOS/thyroid/magic/metabolism” or “obesity isn’t unhealthy, everyone should be like me”. The alternative is “I caused this, I’m maintaining this, and thus I can stop maintaining this”.

    Once I made the realisation that I was working hard to be obese every day, it was super fucking easy to lose weight. But to find the solution, you need to identify the problem first, and if that problem is you, it’s going to be an uncomfortable problem.
