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

yup, sounds very psychological to me

also like... a mental health issue is also a health issue?

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?

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

it's not, but that's not the way you phrased it originally

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I see how that could have been unclear, sorry. I wasn't intending to dispute the quoted portion, but to expand on it.
