IWWIWWIWI*

*I Want What I Want When I Want It. —and I'll call GrubHub so I don't have to get up off the couch.

There. I’ve solved the issue once and for all: IWWIWWIWI is the key to why people are fat—their absolute unwillingness to go without whatever the fuck they want to eat right at this very moment. 

This latest article pandering to the weight-challenged from THE ATLANTIC by professional facilitator of people’s bad behavior James Hamblin is just another (It’s not your fault!) pile-on.

If you want to waste valuable time reading Hamblin’s screed, click THIS LINK, because I don’t have the stomach to regurgitate such nonsense, and not just due to it’s being Sunday and I’ve got some Love Island to catch up on.

But I must say, if I read or hear one more idiot cluelessly state “diets don’t work” I might stop reading altogether (except for Stephen King.)

To recap: All diets work. People who “go on a diet” thinking that after they are “finished,” and then “go off the diet” believing their weight problem has been permanently fixed, and therefore they can go back to their “normal diet” of overeating and then claim “the weight came back!” —as if such a no-brainer were the world’s greatest unsolved mystery— need more than just their freakin’ heads examined.

It's not about "going on a diet" temporarily, but rather adopting a new permanent diet that is more healthful and doesn't provide more calories that you burn.
