I see myself this way, partly. I have "normal" weight from spring to autumn (by BMI), but then I gain 5 kg every winter by Christmas. Why is that? Because I am a lazy shit and I stop cycling in November, when the weather is no longer appropriate, and I eat about the same as when I do several hours of intense cycling per week on top of the round the year other physical activity. My BMI gets too close to "overweight" because of that. Am I lazy, not doing something else instead of cycling? Definitely. Do I deserve to be ridiculed? Yes, I think I deserve it. Is this the same for everyone? Well, "everyone" is too wide, but for "most people", yes.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> Is this the same for everyone? Well, "everyone" is too wide, but for "most people", yes This is a good balance. There are folks with metabolic issues. But there are many, too, eating butter-boiled pork chops twice a week while taking Uber two blocks. One was a good friend, and simply saying “this is who you are” is reductive and selfish.
- Zababa 4y agoBeing ridiculed doesn't push me into action and just makes me feel worse, which tends to make me overeat more to cope. Different solutions work for différent people. Some dogs only react to positive reinforcement, others only to negative reinforcement. If ridicule is fuel for you that's great, and I hope you can find a source to use it and end up with a weight that you feel better about. But be careful when using that with others, please.
