How many fat people have you seen lose weight and keep it off forever? Not very damn many that's for sure.

how many fat people were at some time before thin? getting fat is the end result of getting old.
Most of the really old people that I see are quite thin - is that due to the long-term health effects of being overweight meaning that they don't survive as long, or is it that extreme old age (>80) also involves a reduction in appetite?
