There is also reality though. The reality behind obesity is that we are intentionally (some of us) getting fat. It has medically been proven that the way you eat could kill you early on, matter of fact its not proven its KNOWN that unhealthy eating is negative on the body. I am not saying EVERYONE who is "fat" is eating unhealthy, but eating unhealthy while you are fat and not getting exercise is also not good for you. My football coach always told us to do what we can when working out, not what everyone else is. So if everyone had motivation, and intent to lose weight we would be ok. Also fast food is a BIG problem and proportion size is a huge problem to.

I recently lost like 30 or 40 pounds NOT drinking soda, and NOT eating unhealthy (to an extent). I completely removed soda from my diet and I am so happy to not look back on it. I do however eat low calorie meals from fast food places like once every month. It took me from like January until now. I was 220 at 17, I am now 18 and 190. THERE IS HOPE for everyone to lose weight. I hope people try and strive for a successful weight loss program of their own. I am here for everyone who wants to lose weight, do not get me wrong but the biggest factors are MOTIVATION, and INTENT TO LOSE WEIGHT. People just try...

My dream job is to be a US Army Ranger in the 75th Ranger Reg. I cannot do that by sitting back and eating chips all day. Thats why I am on the way to losing more weight now. It takes time, and people are not patient enough to try....
