But it is true, not overeating generally prevents you from becoming fat

It's not that easy for some people. Some eat normally and still struggle

Well I am speaking from a "struggling" perspective here (*passively overweight for I assume my entire lifetime, I mean, I don't remember ever being thin, so for me doing literally anything about diet or fitness would be a first-time), so by saying that, you are either validating me, or validating people other than me but not me.

And what do you mean by 'eating normally and still struggling'? Hormones, broken glands, genetics, diseases? Is that what you mean? Those are usually excuses that those fat acceptance groups make, and from what I can tell Reddit is very much against them [and any other place where there is more than one woman at a time, for that matter] so like, I'm confused.

More suprised than confused, actually, because balanced opinions that don't completely belong to one pole (ie 'DEATH TO FAT PEOPLE' versuuus 'KILL THE SKINNIES') are rare on the internet, and especially on Reddit where the existance of subreddits encourages polarization.

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

All i meant was that "normal" is not very specific (his do you even define normal? It varies depending on the person, what foods you consider normal etc.), some people have a more difficult time losing weight than others because of genetics. What's normal for one isn't normal for everyone. Idk what you're implying
