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?
