So what.

That's quite the spirit of exploration you have. It's fascinating, don't
you think?

Not really. I have other interests that I pursue that are more rewarding.
You know nothing about my "spirit of exploration." I'd rather try a new
sport, hike a new trail, or play with new fitness gadgets than sit around
and read for excuses to make about my weight issues. With regards to
research, I do plenty, just in a different field that probably wouldn't be
of interest to you regardless of your "spirit of exploration."

If you have some condition or disease or genetic/chemical makeup that
makes you prone to obesity it simply means you will need to work harder
than the average person who was dealt a better hand.

A lot of people don't know they got dealt a hand at all.

And how do you work harder to make yourself taller? That's a lot of what
obesity is like.

I was obese for over 30 years and working on it for 25 of those years, so I
have a clue, apparently more than you do. Obesity and height are not alike.
Obesity is preventable for most adults. For those who were obese as children
it is treatable unless you are one of the rare cases of Prader-Willi
Syndrome. Nothing I can do to myself will make me taller (besides wearing
heels), but experiementing with what I eat and how I exercise to find a WOL
that will let me be a normal sized person makes me thinner.

I know why I became supermorbidly obese.

I doubt it. We have no way to tell what hand you were dealt. You know it's
hard. But you don't know how hard or why.

It's a little (a lot) presumptuous and rather arrogant for you to decide
that you know more about me than I do about me since you know nearly nothing
about me. I actually do know the physiological basis for my history of
obesity and I know enough about it to control what I can. Do I know it to
the genetic level? No, but then again there wouldn't be anything I could do
about it since I can't change my genes so I work with what I know and have a
life beyond that. As I said, it's like my hearing loss. I know the exact
process of the congenital defect that runs in my family that is causing me
to go deaf. I know where it came from and how I ended up with it. It's not
going to make me hear again.
