There is also plenty of research linking childhood trauma and trauma during/before pregnancy to physiological changes related to weight gain. Then there are people with adhd, autism, and numerous other conditions that can indirectly influence it. So yeah, “just do it” and “just have some self control” etc is totally not it. I have zero tolerance for all this pearl clutching about giving people a break from the self hate. I seriously doubt it’s harmful for people to acknowledge that there are things they can’t fully control that hold them back. The real point is you can say “yeah whatever, but…” until you turn blue but without being able to peer into another persons mind you can’t make any factual assertions about how hard something is for other people.
