Op is right. My whole fam is full of fat folks. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease. It’s all gonna kill you.

I was 320 once upon a time at 5’7”. The breaking points were many and came all at once. I was not able to walk up a hill, maintain a solid erection :dame: or even like myself tbh :mjcry:Doctor almost gave me hypertension pills at age 18 smh. I needed to do better.

You can lose the weight. It’s better than losing your life.

Could you share what factors most likely caused your obesity? What factors most likely powered your weight loss?

My obesity was caused by depression and a bad relationship with food. I abused by my father as a kid and had low self esteem. I was bullied and just wasn’t handling life well. I could eat two sleeves of Oreos at age 10. That’s like 30 cookies and I was still eating more food after that.

Weight loss for me was more than just lifting weights, jogging and eating salad. I had to rewire my brain. I had to start journaling and mediating. I also started eating only when I was hunngry and only until I was full. Sounds small but I lost 50 pounds in four months just by doing that. Food became fuel for my physical body and not a treat or safety blanket. I had to work on self-forgiveness and compassion. I also started sleeping more regularly and not holding onto the past so much. My weight was literally baggage from all the trauma I endured. I had to work on myself deep. I’m 24 rn and feel much better about myself and life as a whole.

People are addicted to sugar. Bad eating habit since they are kids. Not the parent's fault, they don't know better.

Everywhere you go, there is big add for something bad for your heath. Your mind is basically attacked all the time. IT'S like a crackhead seeing big add of crackpipes.

The obesity epidemic will not go down. It's a by product of modern capitalist societies.

Lose weight, you will live longer and better. At this point, if you have a normal weight, especially in your 30's, you will have a big advantage in the dating field. Use that as a motivation.

Or don't. A lot of folks don't want to grow up or grow old in America so they don't really see a need to change their habits. It is what it is.

Do whatever you want to do.
