Have you seen the latest headlines by professionals in the world of bariatric medicine? Extra, Extra… read all about it: Obesity Is Not Your Fault! Who doesn’t want to hear that? Besides me, that is… Why don’t I want to hear that obesity is not your fault? Is it because I believe that obesity IS your fault? I certainly do NOT think your genetics are your fault, nor do I think your childhood environment was your fault, nor do I think many illness and medications that lead to weight gain are your fault. So, what IS my issue with professionals proclaiming that “Obesity is not your fault?” Guess you’ll have to listen and find out… More importantly, listen and make up your OWN mind about this issue… and whether fault or blame is what we really need to be focusing on when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle!
