its hard for you because you have convinced yourself that its hard for you. you have mentally allowed yourself to lose control over your weight. there is nothing stopping you but your own self concocted mental obstacles.
Give me a break. He is not making excuses, he is claiming it isn't as easy for some as it is for others. Do you not believe that people have different levels of physical talent?

I think we all have the talent to eat less. some people choose not to. they have decided the next bite of food is more important than maintaining a healthier weight.

I asked if you believed we all have different levels of physical talents and abilities. It's a yes or no question.

so fat person logic is that if everyone has different talent levels, if I am fat then I should just say thin people are more talented at staying thin?

So I take it you're afraid to answer my simple yes or no question?

you think I am obligated to answer your questions in the way you want me to? ask a question that's relevant and you will get a better chance of an answer that fits what you are looking for. you don't need special talent to not get fat.

do you expect all adults to be able to tie their shoes?

Of course you are not obligated. But it's an easy question to answer and it really calls into question your credibility that you are unwilling to do so. I'll ask one more time: do you believe people have different levels of physical talent and abilities?

Yes I do, save for those who are restricted by a physical or cognitive handicap. I answered yours, now take a crack at mine.
