Key Size Acceptance Points: Fitness is more important than weight See mind Steven Blair's work and the other long-term, massive studies from the Cooper aerobics center. Fat, active men lived longer and were healthier than thin, sedentary men. If we helped people of all sizes integrate more pleasurable physical activity into their lives we would do everyone a favor. By focusing on exercise for mind weight loss we set people up to give up if they don't become thin. Related mind arguments: Current treatments can cause health problems, e.g., dieters are more likely to binge; weight cyclers are more likely to develop hypertension; as a population, the more we diet, the fatter we get (iatrogenic issue). No proven treatment to change weight permanently: SHOW ME THE DATA! “Success” is taking care of your body back to top ? Doesn’t being fat cause people to get depressed? I see fat people eating junk food and buying ice cream, so how can you say they don’t overeat? Don’t fat people have problems they should get therapy for?
