How many of obesity cases are caused by eating disorders and addiction psyche in general? Treating the symptom in this case barely helps. You might lose weight, but it'll pop up in some other place in your life. See it as psychological side effect, a swap of coping mechanism. Often enough, IMO you need to go deeper than a pill.

Thats such bullshit. Sure, yes, there is 100% mental aspect to every obese person, but some of that shit is old and already dealt with, but since you are already fucked you cant get out from the cycle. Of course we should deal with the mental side but it will be a million times easier to deal with after you aren’t a fat fuck.

  Case in point, "fat fuck" and "old shit that's dealt with" shouldn't normally belong to the same argument

    And why not?

      For one, it's a value judgement, and the mind that makes it more often than not applies the same judgements to oneself, leading to feelings that not everyone can convert to constructive action. Hence avoidance by addictions, one of which can be food. Also it implies disrespect and ignorance of the reasons why someone eats more than is considered healthy. It's a mockery of a person's perceived failure to adapt to abstract adversity. And someone who had psychological issues with addiction and dealt with them would be very unlikely to mock these things.

        You managed to type a lot without actually saying anything. I can give you (even if I don't necessarily agree) that some fat people will go to other addictions which are harmful, but that is still not a reason not to pursue this. There are plenty of fat people who aren't going to relapse into some other addiction or at least not as hard.
