This is the entire fucking issue right here.  I kinda get it when a guy is like 22% bf, and says, "I'd like to lose weight, but between work, the daily commute, the kids, etc its hard blah blah blah."  Fucking alright I guess.  But to get to 30% - let alone whatever the fuck adipose-man was at 300 lbs - you have to be a glutton. You just do.  So everyone is giving adipose-man a fucking medal for being somewhat less of a fucking gorge machine than he was after "trying" for nearly a decade.  FFS I hate society.
