I read the whole thing. It gets clearer towards the end.
But there are countless others who, despite exercising and following a high-quality diet, can only whittle their BMI to a certain point. They need to learn to live healthfully with the disease of obesity, rather than make themselves miserable trying to ‘cure’ themselves of it.”
With a BMI of approximately 39.2
Some people just can't lose below a BMI of fucking 40, you guys. That is deathfat levels and I'm to believe you can't lose any weight? Yeah, bullshit it's not inhaling ice cream by the punnet.
25 miles a week
Bitch, I do 31mi/week and I don't call myself fit. That's just being a human being.
Of course, deep down, I would like to be thinner,” she says. “Accepting my weight doesn't mean I'm satisfied with my weight. You meet a fat person who says otherwise, she's lying.”
And here we go. It's all fake confidence. There's no acceptance, just wishing to be thin, LIKE EVERY FAT EVER.
Doctor: ‘How old is your son again?’ he asked me.
Fat: “'Five,’ I told him.”
Doctor: “‘Want to be alive when he's older?’” Valerio saw no need to reply.
“Then lose 15 pounds in the next two months,” the doctor said.
Glorious. 15 pounds is nowhere near enough, but I applaud the attitude. More doctors need to be like this.
Valerio had embraced every aspect of the running life, from training to racing to nutrition. But while no longer morbidly obese, she remained obese. “No matter how much I run and work out, my weight never goes below around 240 pounds,” Valerio says.
Right. But you've "embraced" nutrition. Got it.
“If controlling obesity were a simple matter of calories in and calories out,” says Ludwig [a doctor], “I would be out of a job.”he says. “In many ways, obesity is similar to complex diseases such as cancer.”
Enter the fatlogic doctor. Seriously? Eating fewer cheeseburgers is as complicated as cancer? Where do they come up with this crap?

It says she runs 35 miles a week. That's five miles a day. That is nothing for someone who supposedly trains for ultras. That's not even what people run every morning for other sports.

I bet her "running" is more "counting steps on her phone", if even that, but I doubt it is.
I do that doing that 10K steps a day thing to hatch pokemon and shit. Then I go to the gym and jog a couple times a week, but then again, I'm not even close to fit.

I only ran about 40 miles a week this year preparing for my ultras. That number is probably ok. I mean, I'm not elite, I'm just a normal guy that does them. I think I got 8th in my age group at the one in August. At a 5K I can get first in age group and 2nd or 3rd overall at age 40 so that's where my strength is right now. Maybe I can move up in the ultras if I start running 200 miles a month. Not sure, I do have a job and a life and no sponsors, so 40 miles a week is about all I can swing.

Also, no sweat. She doesn't look like she's in the middle of exercising.

For fuck's sake, I run ultra marathons, there are LITERALLY never any overweight people there. This is fucking horseshit and if she's really running the kind of miles I run, she's going to be in a wheel chair in 5 years.

I'm not a runner, but a long-distance cyclist. When I'm doing a tour--or even just in summer when I'm logging some pretty serious miles--it's really hard to keep weight on. I have to be pretty much constantly eating. If she is indeed a long-distance runner, I can't imagine what the fuck she is stuffing into her face.

My fattest runnning buddy is my height and we run identical training sessions. He's about 20 pounds heavier than me, and I know it's because he has pizza for dinner most nights with a beer or two. I skip those and I have lost 5 pounds the last 2 years. I'm not sure if he's gained or maintained, but he's much bigger than me. So I would say the answer to your question is pizza, beer, and whatever the fuck else she wants to eat.

You do not eat that little while training for a martathon, you dedinitely do not stay that weight and eat that little doing marathons. Obeast lies, like all of its kind.
