of course fat ppl are fat from eating too many calories, the thing nobody talks about is that everyone would eat too many calories if they felt as hungry as many fat ppl do.

you don’t have superior self-control, you were just born with functional satiety signaling.

That is, largely, bullshit. You can change your hunger level and satiety settings over time. I know because I did it.

In my past I could easily eat an entire large pizza by myself. I used to do it all the time. Don’t anymore. The absurd idea that self-control is impossible is self-reinforcing into a doom spiral. I’ve seen it too often. And the above nonsense is the common lefty take.

But self-control is possible. And not even hard. It’s muscle you exercise — the more you do it, the better you get at it. Just like anything else. Don’t believe the harmful, self-defeating lies in that tweet.
