At one time in my life, I was 85lbs overweight. I went on a restricted calorie diet according to my doctor's recommendations. After a month, I had put on 8lbs just eating salads. So after some tests, they found out I had a tumor on my pituitary causing Cushing's syndrome. Fast fwd a year after brain surgery, and I lost 19 lbs in a year of strict dieting. My hair starts falling out. Go for more tests, I got thyroid problems. Get on pig thyroid, takes five months to really take effect. After six months, I start to lose weight only slowly, but faster than before. I'm still 30 lbs overweight and less miserable than before, but it's an absolute nightmare, because I blew out 3 discs in my back, and now I cant even exercise. But I have to lose the weight, and now I can, I will continue, no matter how hard. The point is that if you are a frigging whale despite your best efforts, something is wrong. Go see a specialist. Modern medicine will help you get thin.
And as an aside, before thyroid, my food cravings were almost uncontrollable. Since taking thyroid, I only eat as much as my body needs. My cravings have nearly disappeared. Although the weight loss is still slow, it's better, and I hate the sight of food. But if I miss a thyroid dose, I feel like an alcoholic 3 days after a bender! So I have come to learn, anecdotally, that an out-of-balance body will demand unhealthy foods looking for the thing it needs. As you get over thirty, the human thyroid naturally slows down. Mine is wrecked for whatever reason. But I hope whoever reads this understands that you have to do your own research, because Canadian and American doctors will crucify you for obesity before they'll ever treat you. Go see an endocrinologist. Be prepared with knowledge about Cushing's (heightened prolactin and cortisol levels; gynecomastia is always caused by a pituitary problem) and thyroid malfunction (exhaustion, weight gain, insane cravings).
Thyroid levels can be low normal, and your hair can still be falling out because every human body is different! Treating people formulaically is criminal. "Low Normal', "High Normal" are inaccurate reference points. Don't let a doctor tell you "Your thyroid is low normal now go away". Fight for your health. If you know your efforts toward losing weight are in vain, start with what I've told you here, and do your homework. You don't want to leave a ten-year-old kid behind with a mid-thirties mother trying to put the pieces back together after your loss.
No but princess Diana, jayne Mansfield , James Dean and Paul Walker all died being famous and in car accidents. We could also say being famous and in car could kill you.
Ofcourse you are completely entitled to this opinion. I will not tell you who to judge and who not to. I don't have a horse in this race. There is however a way to present facts.
You're relating correlation with causation when you say being famous and in a car could kill you. Which is a pretty big leap in logic from these overweight people dying because they're overweight. Which is real correlation and causation based on medical science.
Alright. I suppose you're right. I'm still not going to judge people based on weight. That's ofcourse their life, not mine. But you have a right to, I guess.
Also, I was at the zoo the other day and I hear this 300lb woman talking about how malnutritioned the animals were (which, they weren't, they had lean toned muscles and shiny coats) as her already obese children agreed with her that they needed to be fed more. Smart, natural selection is right !
Why so many downvotes to that guest? This is anecdotal material. People who demand obesity be punished as a moral standard in and of itself, are themselves in their souls morbidly obese, full of self-righteousness, malice, abusiveness, sexual perversions, belligerence, shallowness, unintelligence, and hypocrisy most of all. Stop looking at outward appearances, and make a right judgement. Such people claim to care altruistically about everyone's health? THat isan utter lie. SMoking kills many more people annually than obesity. Sexual promescuity kills more people due to disease being spread. Drinking kills more people than obesity, AIDs, and smoking combined. The fact is that the obese are the new Jews, and modern industrialized society is the new Third Reich. Wait forty years and see how your grandchildren, watching your examples, treat the obese as compared to these other groups I mentioned. You will see that you are government brainwashed pawns.
High pitch voice* all sizes are beautiful and gorgeous
Whispers* let them believe that, natural selection
