    their belief that they can’t lose weight.

    For a lot of people it’s a poverty and lack of healthcare thing…

    Even just annual checkups are a huge help because weight is being tracked and someone gets early and continuous warnings their health is being impacted.

    They have as much control as someone trying to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

    If they can’t escape poverty and gain access to healthcare… They’re less likely to maintain a healthy weight.

      That’s valid. I was thinking more about the nuisances on Tik Tok who peddle straight-up health disinformation.
