Enough of it will get you anywhere. You don't just wake up fat one day, the process takes years and years of ignorance, indifference and indulgence. If reflection and contemplation on the state of ones body doesn't result in self-loathing when obesity is a fact, then the act of acceptance must result, which is the true birth of the obeast. Only a strong hate for the state of obesity can force the actions necessary to abolish it.
