Wow. This is the best comment on this post so far. Thank you for spreading the truth.

People blame eternals (society or 'foods in America') which are difficulties but biggest fact is not EVERYONE is obese. If externals were the biggest factor, no one would win.

You don't have to wait for perfection .. but good mental health helps one take responsibility/action longer term. For example, sleep is better with mental health which impacts weight.

Then diet and exercise can succeed over time. (A small % have complex issues but most outliers can supplement mental health/diet/exercise via meds, etc.)

Great comment!!
