Abuse happens and is correlated with Obesity. If you didn't know now you know.

I have no doubt that's true. But way more people get fat from donuts than coping with abuse. Both things can be true.

Abuse is also correlated with anorexia, so it's not exactly a strong indicator. You can file both under "eating disorders", but jimbo and his wife tammy-ray in the trailer park are usually just fat from chugging mountain dew and ring dings.

All that’s needed for more confirmation of this is just to watch any episode of my 600lb life. I’ve watched quite a number and almost always the person mentions a history of trauma, sometimes in the form of one or both parents suddenly dying, sexual assault, growing up super poor and not being able to afford food, etc

In those cases the person seems to use food, specifically very unhealthy food, as a form of coping and self-medication the same way others might turn to alcohol or drugs

But in those cases, or any case of morbid obesity, trauma is an explanation but shouldn’t become an excuse. I’ve personally never felt that losing fat in order to be appealing to the opposite sex is ever a good reason. But doing so to improve quality of life def is

I agree if it's in a totally vain narcissistic way cause you just wanna hook up and bang mindlessly, but making yourself more appealing to the opposite sex so you can meet somebody you really connect with and maybe start a family would certainly improve your quality of life, and theirs.

I think Brené Brown puts it well when she says (and provides the underlying research methodology used to arrive here) that we all struggle with addiction or know someone who does. And it can take many forms like overeating. But ultimately people do what they do and lets face it if you don't learn how or don't recognize the need to eat healthy you won't.

The trap is anyone who attempts to look good to meet a partner is very likely to stop looking good once they feel “secure” in their relationship. Which causes all sorts of problems because physical attraction is a part of intimacy. I have a particular very large bone to pick with this motivation because my dad divorced my mom because she put on weight when she had me and (in his eyes) never tried hard enough to lose it. So he eventually cheated on and divorced her. There’s issues with both parties in this scenario, moreso with my dad which is why I didn’t talk to him for like 6 years, but this is absolutely not an uncommon story. It has happened probably tens of thousands of times throughout the years to various couples and torn relationships and families apart

I think that attempting to look good for one’s partner is a form of respect (unless having a very good reason to not such as illness), but that to me still shouldn’t be the ONLY reason ever

Doing anything for another person whether that’s getting in shape, quitting smoking or drugs, etc, puts all the power in the other person’s hands. As soon as something goes wrong with that person, we lose our motivation. We need to do it for us most of all

So nice of this happy gay couple to take their son out for a walk

(Oliver has his own YouTube channel and his walks around foreign places with a camera behind him are funny)
