Guys I think the point here is to be healthy. Being extremely obese is a problem and self control is necessary, assuming only about 10% of the population can't help themselves. We need to stop giving excuses or else we are enabling them to the grave. Expect healthy. Calm down.

I'm guessing 80% of the jerk comments come from 20% of the population here. I call those assholes out, too. I have had the same fleeting thought of discomfort at times like this.

Hypothyroidism, Cushing's Syndrome, and most importantly Depression. There is a reason people overeat; no one wants to be obese.
