    It’s one thing to be fat because of a health

    I’d argue it’s a mental health issue.

    Edit: I did not clearly represent my point. I meant that even overweight people without physical health issues are likely dealing with some unresolved mental health issues as well. And I say that sympathetically.

      Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone

      yup, sounds very psychological to me

      also like… a mental health issue is also a health issue?

        That’s not what I meant. I understand what hypohyroidism is. I just meant overweight people without something physical like that are probably going through something mentally. Is that controversial?
