We don't expect tall people to shrink

Many people assume that every obese persona can achieve slenderness and should pursue that goal.

First consider that most obese people do not -for whatever reason – successfully lose weight and maintain their losses. Then consider the prejudice involved in that assumption.

People come with varying weight tendencies, just as they come with varying potentials for height and degrees of health, yet we don't expect tall people to shrink or healthy people to get sick in an effort to become normal.
