Damn… agreeing with TJ again…
Other than Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and Prader-Willi, I am struggling to think of an untreatable cause of being overweight which is not related to eating too much for current energy expenditure. Cushings and hypothyroidism are treatable. Some diabetes medications lead to weight gain unless people readjust their diet. Kids with craniopharyngioma put on weight. But can be sorted.
My BMI is 28 – and I know I am to blame.
But some of my best friends have “an externalised locus of health control”…
People I think I am probably prejudiced about:
Kiwis (but love Aussies and lived there)
Liverpudlians
People who own dogs with legs shorter than 10cm
Cat owners. I am sure some are normal.
Women who smoke (I don’t seem to care as much about the men who do so? which seem illogical)
And I no longer care much about the Northern Irish.
