Thinking errors in the mind of obese Unscientific, but I've thought of a few thinking errors the obese seem to have in common, especially when it comes to eating:  * Cannot conceive of eating anything for any reason other than for the taste  * Cannot conceive of celebrating or going on vacation without eating to excess (even more than average for them)  * Preemptively fails to exercise willpower, good judgement, endurance or, persistence  * Good meals are equated with feeling "stuffed"  * Confuses eating for taste with high quality of life and conversely eating for health as lacking in quality of life  * Underestimates or fails to recognize the pleasure of being healthy  * Confuses how they wish the world viewed them with how the world actually views them  What would you add to this list?
