They get fat, and then blame the restaurants and grocery stores for having so much food.
Self-control and will-power have become dirty words. It's easier to blame someone or something else (the corn syrup did it! my metabolism is slow! I can't afford fresh food!). You can lose weight while eating corn syrup, canned/frozen vegetables, and avoiding going out to eat at these pig trough restaurants. Weight Watchers works. Calories in/out works.
I've been hypothyroid (Hashimoto's thyroiditis = no thyroid) since I was 18. I managed to stay slim by watching what I eat and not using "I have a glandular problem" as an excuse. Get on the fucking scale and adjust your food intake/exercise based on what it says.
It's true: nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.
Both my sister and I had eating disorders as teenagers and beat them with therapy.
You can make excuses, or you can be normal weight.
Rant over.
