Into the mind of a ham: lying is magic And the magic only works when you can get everyone to believe it.  This is why they hate us so much, we break their magical weight-loss spell. I have come to this realization after seeing so many hams just outright lie to themselves, to others, even to things like MyFitnessPal and Fitbit.  SO MANY DAMN HAMS think that it counts the same on your Fitbit if you just wave your arms around as opposed to actually walking.  I've seen others add 50-100 pounds to the weight on a treadmill so that it would tell them they burned more calories (surprised it went that high actually).  Most, if not all, will insist they can gain weight on 600 calories per day. Anytime you call them out on these lies, they get VERY ANGRY.  The only logical conclusion for a rational mind then is that they believe that lying is magic and as long as everyone believes their lies, reality is forced to accept them too.  So as long as no shitlord tells them that they aren't actually doing something by simply waving their arms around, their body will react as if they had walked 10k or more steps that day and lose weight. Either that or hams are just really, really fucking stupid.
