It’s one thing to be fat because of a health

I’d argue it’s a mental health issue.

Edit: I did not clearly represent my point. I meant that even overweight people without physical health issues are likely dealing with some unresolved mental health issues as well. And I say that sympathetically.

Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone

That’s not what I meant. I understand what hypohyroidism is. I just meant overweight people without something physical like that are probably going through something mentally. Is that controversial?
