Parents are often unreasonable and lack common sense when it comes to their children. It's all about love, and they still see us like little babies, no matter the issue or the age. It's normal, but not useful ... As for the police: I think that in most cities, they will send out cops that had special training and know how…

I am sorry. You have to tell the police now, then your parents. Why not your parents first? Because they may talk you out of the idea to call the police. You have to protect your family, yourself, and your older sister too.

Oh. I think you're right.

Of course. But would you say you're full after eating 800 cal per day, every day, being unable to eat more than 800 cals? To OP: you can add 100 calories by just adding 30ml of olive oil or butter to any one dish and you would not even notice it; or eat one tbs of almond or less than 10 cashews; or one tbs of honey in a…

I was not able to find a decent holiday outfit to suit my stupid body, so I am not going to the party at all. That's how I solved the problem for this year. :(

Yes. But to be more specific, I wrote : " ... food have been abundant for most middle and upper class citizens in the USA and Canada".

Excellent point. We should all should keep in mind that on boards or social media in general, we tend to take shortcuts when we write. Heck, we're not writing a master thesis here. Therefore when someone says: "I am addicted to sugar" they may meaning "sugar acts like heroin on my body", BUT they may be saying "I am…

Yes. There was plenty of food or most people, most of the time, to get fat if they wanted. And as a matter of fact, many did.

Hum ... But food have been abundant for most middle and upper class citizens in the USA and Canada for more than a century. In any event, I would like to see an actual study to explain why people have a decrease in lack of willpower when it comes to EATING and WORKING OUT specifically. Because really, have we observed (as…

I don't have a theory. I am a lawyer, not a scientist. I do have a bachelors' degree in history, and that's why I tend to examine things under a historical or long term perspective. Anyhow. I don't have a theory, but I would expect that amongst all of those who believe that that the sole cause of obesity is lack of…

Oh, these threads ... So that's all there is to it - willpower and "eat in moderation" is all the world need? Some day I hope someone will stick its nose away from the proverbial tree and explain, from a historical and anthropological standpoint, the sudden GLOBAL epidemic of "lack of willpower" and "failure to eat in…
