Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Hmm I think that for a lot of people, it wasn’t a choice to get fat. I know a lot of kids who are already obese and they aren’t even in their teens.

    However, I do think it’s a choice once you’ve realized it and have the ability to actually do something about it.

    Kinda related but unrelated: it irks me when someone comments how easy it is for me to be skinny, bc it isn’t. As a previously underweight person, I think gaining and losing weight are just as hard. I had to control my diet, work out, and have a lot of self control to not lose the habits I was building. I folded and stagnated a lot, and yeah it was demotivating but I still had to make a choice to keep going.

      It’s hard to change habits that have be ingrained into you since childhood.

      Not impossible, but really fucking hard.

        It really is difficult. I feel for people who have had food addiction since chikdhood. Or any othet unhealthy habit
