On the mindset of a fatass. Long wall of post warning. Some of the most common characteristics I see in fatties are their lack of discipline and penchant for instant gratification.   For the sake of reducing clutter, I'm going to use the male pronoun "he/his", but this argument applies equally to both genders. So here's a common scenario: a fatty recognizes that he has a weight problem and decides to go on a diet.  Great!  First step to take to solve a problem is to acknowledge that there is a problem.  Unfortunately, his execution will be flawed from the get-go.   More often than not, he will embark on a diet with a severely low caloric intake (say, 500 to 1000 calories), as opposed to eating slightly below the maintenance level.  It's obvious that he wants instant results.  After a couple of days of strictly adhering to this impractical diet, he will nevertheless lose some weight (most of which is water weight), and will be delighted by his progress.   However, the negative repercussion of the diet is that he will be left drained both physically and mentally, and his food cravings will intensify due to the lack of satiety.  Once the hunger pangs become too severe for his fragile psyche, he will give into his desires and binge uncontrollably.  The fatty will rationalize the latter act by claiming that he deserved a reward for said progress, or hopelessly declaring that dieting is impractical and doesn't work.  Consequently, he will gain back the weight he lost or ironically, end up fatter than ever.  There are so many things that are disturbing about this scenario.   First, is their lack of patience and their mentality for wanting instant results.  Losing weight, like any other challenging endeavors, requires time and patience.  They fail to realize that losing weight and maintaining it for the rest of their lives is not a race, but a lifelong journey that begins with a small step.  Going slow and steady will get you farther than going quick and in sporadic spurts.  Is it any surprise that people who lose weight by undertaking gastric bypass surgery end up reverting to their former fat selves in a matter of months?  Ever watched "The Biggest Loser" on television?  Once the cameras were gone, most of the contestants on that show relapsed and became fat again.   Having exhausted all their methods to dieting, fatties will again fall prey to their impulsiveness and lack of discipline by looking to the next quick fix: diet pills, wraps, gastric bypass surgery, liposuction, etc.  Little do they know that the only winners in this situation are the opportunistic CEOs, doctors, and snake oil salesmen (some of which are mutually inclusive) who are laughing their asses off in their Ferrari to the bank vault.  The most malevolent example of these are the Multi Level Marketing companies e.g. Herbalife, who not only dupe their customers with bogus diet claims, but also trap them into a pyramid scheme that ends up destroying relationships between friends and family members. So, dieting has been deemed impractical and ineffective, and so much money has been lost in these bullshit scam.  What's next for these hams?  Delusion.  These idiots will band together under a fatass umbrella and clamor for their rights to be accepted by the mainstream.  Hence, the HAES movement is born.   They'll fervently attack people with normal weight and label them with such extremities as "anorexic bitch" or "bag of bones" just to make their point.  They'll use cherry picked facts to show that fat is healthy, backed by doctors and so-called experts who are secretively under the payroll of the Fat Agenda.   In an obtuse twist of logic, they'll claim to be oppressed, equating their plight to that of the LGBT community and minorities - people who have endured generations of persecution for their sexual orientation, the color of their skin, or religious belief.  They'll claim to have PTSD from being fat shamed, insulting those who have been left mentally unstable by violence, wars, child abuse, or sexual assault.  Fat Tumblrinas will blame the patriarchy.  Neckbeards will blame the feminist movement.   They'll use every trick under the sun at their disposal to be understood.  Their insidiousness is even more alarming when it's apparent that not only do they want normal weight people to accept their movement, but encourage them to be fat themselves.   But the fact will still remain: fatties are unhealthy, generally unpleasant to look at, and will never own up to their self destructive behaviors. Tl;dr: Fatties are stupid.
