Slurs, contrary to popular belief, do have some utility
slurs used on people for things you cant control ❌️
slurs used on people for things 100% in their control ✅️

Edit: downvotes really?
Edit 2: "your boos mean nothing ive seen what makes you cheer! -Rick and Morty
No, so much no. Weight isn't always under people's control. I'd even argue it's not even under our control most of the time.

As soon as my PCOS got treated (metformin) I lost 20 pounds. Looking back, it should have been caught decades ago. It pisses me off how much "you just need diet and exercise!" bullshit I swallowed when all I needed to do to lose weight was take a stupid pill to treat the underlying condition.
Caveat: I believe treating the underlying condition has had a bigger impact on my health than weight loss.
Generally speaking though, most overweight people are fat because they eat too much. Thats it. And then they look to stupid fads and cheats to lose the weight without actually changing their relationship to food. Its not you, and thats cool. Glad you got your issue sorted out. But I cant help but wonder, how many people are right now reading your experience while eating their 2nd large pizza, and thinking "I must have that!"...
So many people are never will to take responsibility for their life choices. And most of them are on social media hammering downvote buttons telling that they should be looking after themselves better.
Yeah I hate when food and drink gets teleported into my mouth
Because that's how psychology and physiology works, obviously.
You should try reading or at least watching the video.
I did watch the video, it’s pretty good. He’s discussing the motivators behind overeating. He points out in the beginning that CICO is something that cannot be violated due to thermodynamics (incorrectly saying it’s the second law when he means first), but where the CICO approach fails is in addressing the obesity epidemic.
Ultimately, it is a personal decision to consume food. The genetic difference is in how hard this is. Genetics does not affect the physics at play. If you consume fewer calories than you expend, you will lose weight. There are no genetics that will permit you to derive more calories from food than what is consumed. Period.
Sometimes you just have to embrace the ascetic part of dieting and just suffer. Life is suffering anyhow, so you might as well make peace with it. It’s okay to be hungry, just like it’s okay to be bored. We’re not supposed to be satiated 24/7.
Please note I’m not saying over or under weight people are somehow worse people than those who are fit because they have poor willpower or something like that. We all have our problems, and everyone deserves respect as we navigate this fucked up life.
The thing is, nobody is going to be able to solve your problems except you. There is no pill that will fix your diet, and it’s not your genetics that put the food in your mouth. Genetics can make you want to eat, but you can choose not to act on this impulse. It can be trained just like anything else. The only lasting solution lies within, whether that’s learning how to deal with not giving into your hunger pangs, or forcing yourself to eat when you’re not hungry, or just learning to love yourself as you are.
well now I'm just gonna downvote for being a cringy Rick and Morty fan.
Well now im gonna creampie youre mom for being hot & easy
