Childhood obesity is not an excuse More and more I'm hearing this sentiment that just because your parents made you fat as a child, you deserve some sort of sympathy. You fucking don't. You are a fucking adult now. You have the right the choose now, you have access to all the information regarding your health, you are in control of your life now. You may not have chosen to BECOME fat but you chose to STAY obese. That's still a fuckign choice on your part. There are plenty of worse off parents and children of those who have turned their life around. There are parents who beat their kids, rape their kids, straight up leave their lives forever. There are those who had nothing in their childhood and still end up being someone. Why? Because of human willpower and discipline. There are those who are born without limbs, without functioning organs, without money, without anything. If you are destroying your body, destroying your organs because you are eating like a stupid fish, you are disgracing everyone who are actually handicapped. Being obese isn't irreversible, it's not impossible to cure, losing weight is not a miracle that only occurs in a small portion of the population. It's called having the willpower to take care of your own goddam self. If you can't even help your health what the fuck are you even living for?
