i'm confused about the impact of metabolism
some people argue that it makes all the difference in the world, need to build muscle to speed up metabolism etc. others claim that the difference between a fast and a slow metabolism actually works out to a couple of hundred extra calories a week, so basically the fatties are kidding themselves about what they are actually eating.

I assume that fat people do a lot of lying to themselves.

you see properly supermorbidly obese people on something like "fat families"
and they're not ashamed to admit that they are like that because they overeat hugely and they are lazy. so clearly those people at least know the problem; they just don't fix it.

i think the metabolism thing kicks in when you want to shift that last stone and you want to blame it on the metabolism rather than the fact that you are eating that bit too much every day.
