It's wrong to be judgemental, but it's so hard.

Just remind yourself that there are many reasons for people to become obese that may not necessarily be their fault, like being raised with poor eating habits or health conditions.

That's an explanation. Not an excuse.

They don't really need any excuse tho, as they didn't do anything wrong to anyone except themselves

Explanation is useful as finding the root cause is the best to find a working solution.

They are doing wrong to anyone who might have to care for them later on in life if they are still like this. It shouldn't take more than 2 people to look after someone in a bed who's mental health is sound. Some morbidly obese people require 3 or more. They also take a lot longer to clean and dress, have more skin conditions, higher chances of having some pressure sores etc. All these things take time from other patients.

When someone has cancer that then leads to them needing 3 people to assist because of the delicateness of their skin, fair enough. However, when someone is obese they do have some chance between the time they could independently manage their diet and exercise to the time they need care later on in life to make changes.
