>>280326151As someone who was once a chubster and am now a skeleton who doesn't eat for days on end and look like Christian Bale in that one movie, I think I can answer this: bad parenting and habitual eating. Fatties eat because they have nothing else to do and also they eat to "purge" any "badfeel" from their lives. Also, it's an addiction encouraged and unnoticed by most people. I was tired of my thighs slapping together, having difficulty walking, looking like crap and being embarrassed to exist in public and had a mental breakdown and lost over 50 percent of my body weight in less than a year. Thankfully, no organ damage or anything serious but I am skinny as hell right now and I am actually in the best mental shape of my life. I love being able to move around and feel light as a feather. I only wish I never allowed myself to get that fat and waste most of my teen/YA years as a fat fuck.
