Agreed with this entire thing.
I lost 120 pounds from watching what I eat and proper exercise.
Genetics can kiss my ass. People need to start taking responsibility, and stop crying to the next person that’ll give them a handout.
I totally understand that weight loss can be hard, I’ve been there. But there’s a difference when the person won’t do anything about it. Like those shows where the people weigh like 600 pounds and have like 6 plates of cakes in front of them.
“I’m so fat!!” continues eating cake and ice cream

The hip and thy thing is true,they are still fairly large even tho I dropped a lot of weight.
edit:I also want to add it has a lot to do with upbringing,our parents raised us on unhealthy diets therefore we learned and kept bad eating habits;it starts from birth now that I think about it.
lol People are also neglecting the fact that when you’re out on the town or at an impromptu event, you’re not going to wait 4 1/2 hours to go home and prepare a meal or hunt the nearest grocery store for emergency celery sticks. Everyone has different schedules and intricacies to their life that are hard to balance all the time. So all I’m saying if you have to eat out, don’t get the triple bypass burger with cholesterol cheese, just the whopper with one patty and no cheese instead.
What gets me the most is that we know we eat like shit, we have a newborn baby in life that we want to take care or at least want to make us be better people. How does anyone fucking started feeding their children an abundance of sugary sweets. Feeding kids shouldn’t be like training a dog, here’s a treat to shut you up. I guess it has to do more with it being easier to get your kids to adopt your bad habits than to have change and raise the kid healthier than you.
A lot of kids are screwed from the get-go cuz their moms never learned how to cook (too busy running around chasing guys), so mom just tosses some high cal/fat/cholesterol shit together, and calls it a meal…and of course pizza, mickey D’s and junk food. We’re in a scary trend, right now, where women are too busy running around chasing dick to learn how to cook, and surviving on junk and fast food, while a lot of guys are learning how to cook. I have 4 female cousins, ranging from 15 to 31. None of them know how to cook, but they know where the local nightclubs are. My uncle cooks (and hunts and fishes). He has the Food Network in his internet bookmarks. My aunt is in her 40’s and JUST NOW trying to learn. She burned a pan of water last month, I shit you not. Women are coming up with no home-making skills, but plenty of accidental baby-making potential.
Here’s something I hear often from fat women: “Men used to like heavier women, but today the media glamorizes the size 3 (or whatever the number is) model”
Now lets get this straight people, this woman was heavier than today’s models and considered attractive back in the day, not this.
Obesity is a polygenic trait, meaning many genes in the soma contribute to different genotypic effects that could have a wide variety of phenotypic results (i.e excess fat in certain areas, degrees of obesity, etc.), so in a way, it is genetic. But that isn’t the whole story. Lifestyle choices and external environmental factors contribute to obesity, fairly significantly actually. There have been studies conducted where an individual living an oriental lifestyle relocated and adapted to western life, and gained significant weight and became more lethargic, while someone of the western style had moved and adapted the asian lifestyle of eating and exercise, and became much healthier. It is possible for somebody not to eat healthily or exercise and not gain a pound, while somebody who is very disciplined can still be overweight, but it’s usually not black and white like that, and both genetics and environmental factors play an intermediate role in obesity. I major in Biochemistry at my university, and we’ve studied this extensively. Basic genetics, not really a topic for debate
Another contributing factor to the current wave of fat kids is the lack of recess and fully open gym periods. Nowadays schools have got so much money from big corporations they rather kids stay in class and read books for a snack time than go outside and play. Another thing is kids get excluded from playing with others during the gym you don’t see nerds or fat kids playing basketball or working out. The coaches could careless about if they do anything as long as they are dressed out and their or less fitness test.
