i was wondering where the 'holy bacon wrap' was hehe

while it's easy for a skinny / athletic person to say 'suck it up and get therapy' the reality is generally a little more complicated. yes there are some lazy gluttonous fatties out there, but there are also plenty of people who simply cannot become skinny regardless of therapy and exercise.

i used to think the same way years ago. then i had to start watching a morbidly obese person walking to the bus stop every couple of mornings to get to the hospital. it's pretty sad to watch someone NEED to take a break twice while walking across a parking lot. this person should have been on a motorized scooter but instead took the initiative to try walking with a cane.

consider the self-loathing you would feel at having to see dozens of people who can move about without effort seeing you take a breather before getting halfway across the parking lot. then knowing they can hear you straining for breath as they try to avoid eye contact with you as you slowly walk by them, and that's when you're actually TRYING to do something about it.

eating healthy is also a lot more complicated than it seems if you've never learned how to shop for groceries or how to cook. for a skinny person to write it off as just some sort of emotional baggage that needs to be addressed and then *poof* not obese anymore makes me hope that person breaks their legs and gains 100lbs during the recovery process.
