Of course it’s not real.

People on 4chan larp as super autists so that the regular autists can feel a bit better about themselves.

You can decide not to consistently over eat, it’s the same thing. I think I’m being pretty clear and I think you’re arguing about semantics.

We’re going full circle here I’ve already said I empathise with people that have significant health or mental issues. This is the second time in your latest response that you’ve shown that you might not be reading my comments and that you may not be really trying to understanding them. I’m not here to argue the toss with someone that isn’t participating in the debate with good faith.

It’s easy, even if you can’t calorie count, just get on the scales or look in the mirror every now and again if you’re getting too fat, cut back your portion size. You don’t need a PhD in biology to work out if you’re eating too much.

I don’t think holding people to account for their unhealthy choices is equal to shitting on them, but offense is in the eye of the beholder.

I’m glad you’re successfully losing weight, keep it up!

Yes you can. I obviously don’t mean that you can decide not to be fat and the weight will magically disappear.

Every time you put food in your mouth, you’re making a conscious choice, you’re not “deciding to be fat” per se, but you are fully aware that too many rain drops causes a flood and that it will take a similar time of less rain drops for the flood to dry up.

If you commit to eating less calories, you will lose weight, that’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

You’re talking as if eating less is a hard thing to do. It’s not, it’s just whether you can delay the idea of excess food now in exchange for a nice/healthy body later. Most adults are smart enough to know that if offered £10 today or £20 tomorrow, they’ll go for tomorrows option, but for some reason fat people aren’t willing to exchange an excessive diet now for good health and a nice body later.

It’s physically more effort to eat more than it is to eat less. You don’t have to prioritise losing weight to be able to eat smaller portions. The food isn’t putting itself in to people’s mouths, although given the range of excuses here, I am surprised that no one’s claimed that they’re being force fed yet.

At the end of the day, I don’t care what someone else’s body weight is, but if you don’t like being called fat and you’re simultaneously going to make 101 excuses about why you can’t just eat a bit less, then what can I say? Pathetic.

The excuses fat people are making in this thread are unbelievable.

“I eat too many calories because I’m poor, I have kids and I work a lot of hours”. None of that is stopping them from putting down the fork, nor are all people in a similar position over weight.

It’s simply a combination of greed and the inability to delay gratification. Why have a nice healthy body in a few months or years when you can have cake now?

The difference is that you have almost no control over whether your teeth are straight or not, or whether you’re wealthy enough to afford braces.

Anyone can put down the fork, drink water instead of mountain dew and choose not to have desert.

Sure, all fat people are stuck in an infinite loop of weight gain due to their weight gain.

You’re making excuses, losing weight is like stopping smoking. You can say you want to do it, but you won’t until you’re actually committed to the idea.

You weren’t mistaken. I was sorry for the one thing out of your control, the rest were your excuses.

“I don’t like the taste of healthy foods”. So just eat less of the unhealthy foods, you don’t need to replace cookies with lettuce to lose weight, just eat one cookie instead of ten. You can control how many calories you eat regardless of how calorie dense the food is. Honestly, grow the fuck up and take some responsibility for yourself.

Your depression eating sucks, but you’ve identified the issue. The only person who can stop you from over eating is you.

Thank you for being honest. I have my own issues that I know need to work on.

That’s why I said sorry. Sorry that you took it sarcastically.

Sorry about your thyroid problem

Congratulations on working out how not to be fat

I thought that was obviously hyperbole. Obesity due to illness is a minority of cases of which I empathise, for most, it’s too many calories.

I agree that there are societal issues when it comes to obesity, there is a reason why it is so prevalent in some countries and so rare in others.

But there comes a point where people have to take responsibility for themselves, no one is forcing a fat person to drink ten litres of coca cola a day and it would be unfair of them to blame their gorging on the state of current affairs.

The last thing I would endorse is a nanny state that is controlling of what you can and can’t eat.

We have blurred lines between the ideas of a lack of respect and bullying.

It’s disrespectful to say “my god, that’s a big fat arse!”, but it’s not bullying unless it’s repetitive and used with the intent of hurting their feelings, bullying also implies an imbalance of power.

I think people deserve dignity, but that respect is something that’s earnt.

If fat people don’t like being criticised for their bad choices and unhealthy, unattractive bodies, that’s really not my problem. If you hate that someone thinks you’re fat, lose some weight, is it really worth digging your heels in over to make a point about a lack of respect?

If someone thinks that they are respecting themselves by willfully making decisions that they know are terrible for their health, then I don know what to say, it’s not a concept that I think I could comprehend, but I’m willing to let you try changing my mind.

Well it’s true, I know I have plenty of personal flaws, but I’m willing to take criticism of them. I’m not going to expect respect for doing fuck all about my personal problems and I don’t think anyone else should.

Hard disagree. I respect people that put in hard work and effort towards achieving their goals, I don’t respect, nor do I have any time for pity parties. If you’re fat, that’s your problem, deal with it.

I get your point, but some people need tough love.

What misinformation are you talking about? I don’t think I’ve said anything factually incorrect.

You’re entitled to your opinion. I don’t see why I should respect people that don’t respect themselves.

If I had a big fat arse due to eating ten cream cakes a day for ten years, I wouldn’t expect respect, I’d expect people to say “my god, that’s a big fat arse!”.

Respect is to be earned, not simply expected.
