That only goes halfway though. Here's the thing, studies show when you are obese, every second you remain obese takes a second off your life. Obeasts have a life expectancy of 20-30, sometimes upwards of 40 years less than healthy people. You are constantly doing damage to your heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, joints, and muscles, because they cannot sustain what a disgusting pig you have become. Therefore you need to get that weight off, and fast. Even if the damage already done is too great or the fasting does further damage, I'd rather live for 10 more years rather than 2 at the most.
