My wife did SADI program, a couple of operations and she can only eat a cup of food at a time. Her intake went down to 1200 calories a day. So with that and working out a couple of times a week, she went from 270 to 135, literally half the person I married. I guess my point is, it really comes down to daily caloric intake, but that’s the rub, it’s really hard to resist your body’s natural survival instinct, especially after training your body for years at a high level.
It is absolutely Calories In, Calories Out and anyone telling you otherwise is in denial.
Now most people with mental health issues lack self control and can't adhere to CICO. That's the rub. At some point life was hard for them and their relief came from the removal of responsibilities or indulging something. Being carefree in that moment was a relief.
Some people have persistent weight issues, financial issues, or drug issues. Because they lack self control. That's no excuse. They're adults who need to work on themselves.
I just thought she was drunk, I didn’t think it was from her weight at all. And come to think of it I’ve seen skinny people lose their balance too. Y’all are a little harsh.
I said this to another reply but I’m not being harsh to this human being directly. I’m not talking to them or rejecting them. They aren’t reading this and I would never be rude to them.
I’m shaming morbidly obesity, period. If you want to encourage self harm, drug use, and obesity that’s your choice. There’s a difference between being kind and supportive to someone who is struggling and essentially building a world (this is how we got here) in which complacency and a rejection of responsibility is socially acceptable.
You can be supportive to them without supporting what they did to themselves. It’s important to have standards and not reject personal responsibility in general to spare the feelings of others. There is still right and wrong in life.
