And by no means am I here to fat shame anyone.
By no means am I here to make anybody feel bad about themselves or have lower self-esteem, but I think it is negligent for us
to just assume that obesity is okay and obesity is just, you know, it's just a way of being, it's a healthy choice, it's just another choice, it's another option.
No, it is not.
It is a serious, severe health condition that affects numerous parts of your body and your brain
And we should take that seriously and we should do everything we can to try to prevent and address obesity.
Why?
Not because I'm hyper about discipline and shaming people, but because I'm trying to improve people's lives and I don't want them to suffer.
Like when people have a chronic mental illness,
For some of them, it can be a living hell.
It really can.
And it's much more complicated than just fat shaming in societal norms.
Yes, they play a role, but it's so much more than that.
And if we're really going to improve human health and improve people's lives, we need to take this seriously.
Yeah, we've long known that people with severe chronic mental illnesses like chronic depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, they lose anywhere from seven to 30 years of life, depending on what study you look at and what population.
But a very large study published in one of the leading medical journals, not even psychiatry journals, but medical journals,
found that it's almost across the board, all of the mental illnesses listed in DSM.
So all of them are associated with premature mortality.
On average, men are losing 10 years of life.
Women are losing seven years of life.
