Actually, I wouldn't paint them with so broad a brush. The poorer you are, the worse your diet (for all the obvious reason, and I mean quality not quantity), so if you're working like a slave and earning about as much, odds are you won't look like a supermodel. It's hard to say such people have poor "self discipline" when they're struggling to make ends meet. See what I mean?

Sure, some probably do lack self discipline and self control, but to say it's an indicator? That's a bit too general, don't you think?

(Also, keep in mind that, because all this extra weight may well be accompanied by diabetes, and diabetics seem prone to mood swings, odds are you'll need some patience dealing with them sometimes - unless they get too violent. I drifted away from a diabetic friend after he nearly crashed the car we were in not just once, but three times!)

No not at all, my gf's lecturer is actually doing a study on how the dopamine and self control systems of fat people are actually fairly inferior to those of people of a healthy weight. Also, we are talking averages here so even if variance is high, that doesn't mean that being fat isn't an indicator of poor self discipline. It might be as little as 10% more likely, and there's a variety of people who are/aren't fat who are disciplined/not disciplined but the relation between the two is still a thing.

It's very likely the study would've controlled for the presence of diabetes, so it's not entirely down to that.

This seems to be a worrying trend. We seem to not have much time left where we'll still have credability .

You do know it's Wunderground, right, mate?

Having been fat for a year (after a foot injury) and now slimming back down, I'm not sure that's a cause and effect relation there, but just simple correlation: Once I gained some weight, it was quite difficult to actually want to do anything. At all. The extra kilos made me feel more lethargic, in a way that I had never been before.

So, whereas I'd run around like an antelope before, it took me a lot of willpower (and a stolen car) to cycle to work... Which is how I'm getting my original weight back.

Thx

Having worked on my doctorate for 5 year, this post-viva period is so weird. I feel like I'm slacking off because I'm saving no one even though I'm a doctor now
