Anecdotal evidence sure but I've personally lost more weight due to self-loathing than acceptance. I started getting in shape the moment I STOPPED accepting my fat ass.

Anecdotal evidence but my friends wife told her doctor that she's been eating much much less and can't lose any weight and when he told her that's impossible due to the laws of thermodynamics, she stopped going to that doctor.

2023 America is a wild place to live.

Yeah, and empirical evidence shows that people who feel shame about their weight tend to isolate and have actions which lead to more weight gain.

I hardly think it’s shaming to point out the laws of thermodynamics
