I've gone from 255 (BMI 33) down to 185 (BMI 24), back to 205, had an illness and got up to 225, now back to 210. I resent the article acting like this long-term weight loss is somehow a freak occurrence.

I just watch what I eat and exercise. Many people with obesity just don't like to exercise, but I love it. This is a natural advantage I have. But I also go on days when I don't feel like going, skip office snacks, and so on. It's neither magical nor impractical.

Ultimately, obesity has been normalized and people don't really care. This is going to be hard to change, either hard on society in funding education and support resources, or hard on the obese in cutting them off from health care and other Draconian measures.
