I don't get to the blogs that often but feel that this one needs a response.

You might consider reading the book "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes or "Escape the diet trap" by John Briffa for a different perspective.

Both books offer very clear and decisive arguments that counter societies' ingrained beliefs that overweight people need to eat less, do more; have greater will power or are lazy, weak and emotional eaters. These ideas and implied conclusions are definitely false on all counts.

I found both books to be personally enabling, providing answers that I can use today, not warm and comfortable excuses that won't correct underlying issues.
