I feel like that with dieting and weightloss, the reason it’s so pervasive to press it upon fat people is because of shows like the biggest loser ad infinitum is that people think weight just falls off fat people every time they start to break a sweat. Culturally, people understand that it’s hard for thinner people or average people to lose weight - really hard! But there’s somehow this gap between that and fat people - everyone assumes (slash is indoctrinated to the fact that) it’s /easy/.

Evolutionarily weight loss makes no sense. Fat is stored because food resources have traditionally been very scarce, and I’m not talking 50,000 years ago, in the last few centuries, I mean. It makes no sense for that fat to come off easily, because that’s future stores for survival.
