In my own experience, the obese people I know (and I know a lot!), make poor choices. Perhaps there is a small minority who are eating the right # of calories for their bodies, exercising regularly, and eating healthy foods who still are morbidly obese, but the majority of us don't fall into that category. This opinion does make me distinctly unpopular among my obese circles - after all, we live in a " it's not my fault " society. There were certainly mitigating factors in my own situation that contributed to my obesity, but I absolutely chose not to exercise, and to continue eating unhealthy foods. As far as I can recall, no one ever showed up on my door step from Mcs and force fed me...... Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
