Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?
otp@sh.itjust.works 6 months agohad a very good financial situation before COVID, so I hired a personal trainer, went to the most tech gym, went to the same nutritionist as the bodybuilding team , and the “star” dermatologist (with all her expensive treatments)
Where do you live where all that is free?

I am just saying that it’s not necessarily a problem with just money.
Not to be mean but there is some blame that could be attributed to the individual too for not doing their part. I kinda* understand that it’s hard to lose weight, but if one has lost it already and goes up again, I would argue that the weight gain is even more of their responsibility and not capitalism or whatever.
*I’m personally pretty thin with a BMI between 18 and 19, so I don’t really get why people just don’t eat less. But I am well aware that it’s not that simple for some.
I have more trouble with eating more, which seems like it should be harder than eating less. Because eating less doesn’t require any effort.

Eating less takes a lot of effort for me because if I eat until I feel reasonably full, it’s actually too much food, and I gain weight. If I’m maintaining my weight, then I’m constantly hungry. If I’m losing weight, I feel like I’m starving.
I used to be pretty thin, even slightly underweight. Then I went on a medicine for a few months, and it completely ruined my appetite. I’m currently on a medicine for something unrelated that happens to curb my appetite, and it’s the only reason I’m not severely overweight.

Oh no, it is my fault, I’m just saying that with money the effort is WAAAAYYYYY less. Believe me, speaking from experience. I can’t pay all that right now and it’s being a chalenge, even using all the knowledge I have
