Genetics/conditions/side effects from medication can only attribute up to 15 (maybe 20 at most) extra pounds.
My point is, a huge part of it anyway, ability to delay gratification. Tons of correlates 40 years later, with obesity being one of them.
The rest is a matter of how often you pick up a fork. If one has such a condition, they need to modify their diet appropriately.
I want to help identify and think of new ways to help certain people who have more trouble with this. To find out what type of underlying causes there are and then attempt to fix that will in turn help the obese patient.
Why don't you just get verified there? It seems you're willing to post pics of yourself - just timestamp and send one in and they will take you more seriously. I don't see why you'd have an issue with doing that.
Meh. If they want to think I'm fat, that's their choice. I've noticed that a lot of places. Anyone who goes against the hivemind is a fat, or a jew, or a nigger. I'm called a fucking jew for what I post here; does that make it true?
I showed proof to the other goy, with a paper and date and time, but I await the next goalpost shifting.
Just because someone is knowledgeable on a certain subject, doesn't make them the group you don't like. It's seriously retarded and elementary thinking to believe so.

That's what therapists are for, right? Have you ever seen that show, "My 600lb Life"? It's about people > 600lbs deciding to get surgery to help them lose the weight before they eat themselves to death. If a patient can prove to the doctor that they have the dedication and willingness to lose weight by losing 50lbs in a month, then he will approve them for surgery. If they are unable to lose that 50lbs, which should be super easy for them since it's like asking a slightly above normal weight person to lose 15 pounds, then he recommends that they go see a therapist to get to the underlying issue of why they turn to food for comfort - much like what a drug addict needs to do in order to stop their habit if they are unable to alone.
Why do you want to help fat people, anyway? They have chosen to be a drain on society. You aren't trying to help niggers, are you? Fat people are a problem. Niggers are a problem. Both moreso than drug addicts in my personal opinion, because if the drug addict isn't stealing from/hurting other people then they aren't making a conscious decision to inevitably hinder other people's lives like fatasses and niggers.
edit: and regarding fatasses hindering other people's lives, I'm not just talking about their necessity to use up more medical resources. I'm talking about how they invade your nose (some literally cannot wipe their own asses / clean themselves) and personal space on a train/bus/airplane. I'm talking about how they tie up those motorized scooters meant for people with real disabilities at grocery stores. I'm talking about how they force airplanes to use more fuel while I get charged for extra luggage that collectively weighs less than them.
And we all know about how the niggers affect our lives, so no need to cover that one.

I'm talking about genetic causes.
Why do you want to help fat people, anyway?
To stop them being a drain on society....?
You aren't trying to help niggers, are you?
Are you saying that being fat is genetic now?
All of those things you mentioned can be helped with helping those who want themselves.
I disagree with you on a few things elsehwere here, but I think you're looking in the right direction with this. Both nigger behavior and obesity can be seen as two sides of the same coin for many cases: the ability to see a positive outcome by retraining behavior in the present for future benefits fails in these individuals. And as the brain is a biological computer that controls our behavior, ultimately that fault lies somewhere in the processing of the brains of those people.

This is the exact definition of reinforcement theory. Punish a negative response, it will decrease the chance of that negative response happening again in the future. Praise a positive one, the chance will increase for that positive behavior to happen again.
ultimately that fault lies somewhere in the processing of the brains of those people.
Agreed. Maybe with some other readers of social learning theory along with reinforcement theory, positive changes in behavior can be made. It mostly comes down to behavior modification, which is a huge part of this and what I look up and read about on my spare time.
