I agree completely. However, the OP asked to "...learn the perspective of people who's body weight is hazardous to their health." I only offered potential explanations I believe morbidly obese persons would be likely to defend.

I find it interesting that a solution such as "eat less food" is an effective way to end obesity, but "thinking happy thoughts" is not an effective way to end depression. Why do you think this is?
