What science actually reveals today is the understanding that genetic predisposition requires adaptation. While it was once believed that “just eat less and you’ll lose weight,” this notion is now significantly refined, especially given the steep rise in processed foods full of sugar, salt, and artificial ingredients. Adaptation involves adjusting metabolic intake, following a dietary regimen, engaging in guided or regulated physical activity, and utilizing a key factor that deters 95% of people from achieving a balanced body weight: willpower. I won’t even comment on the statements that weight loss is impossible for anyone in this modern, technological world.
Although I agree that body shaming is a sign of a lack of culture and likely a product of one’s own internal struggles, warning an overweight person is a justified action—something Aleks and I have already discussed constructively, without insults. The warning concerned his rapid weight gain and neglect of physical activity, as evident in his couch habits and chronic phone use, which was further compounded by his consumption of snacks. It’s not about mockery, at least not from my side. Back then, he promised to focus on physical activities and join a fitness program, which he even confirmed with a few pictures. And that, to me, seems like an excellent response, especially since it aligns with Rosy’s active lifestyle. What could be better than sharing a hobby with your partner that is also healthy?
But I have a feeling that Aleks may have given up on it. Of course, I hope I’m wrong. He is too young to already be facing issues related to excessive weight at this stage in his life.
