Why do people have such a hard time losing weight?
Wednesday – October 15, 2025

One aspect about our modern world that I am sure will amaze future historians as they look back on this peculiar time in the history of the human story, has to be the fact that for the first time in recorded human history, those men that can be described as well of in terms of their material circumstance are skinnier and less fat than those men that can be described as worse off in terms of their material standing. Well, this is in keeping with the trajectory of the times we live in. See, we're living through a time of epic transformation that will leave behind profound marks in history and we're really at a juncture where a significant shift has occurred in the material domain. The production of ever greater quantities so exceeds the demand, that the world, particularly certain corners of the world are over saturated with an abundance of food, while certain other corners of the world are experiencing lack of food, and where the laws of nature still make themselves heard and known, such in the case of the Sudan. Indeed, it seems that it's easy to become fat these days, which should be the best sign of our times, and indeed once you've gained fat it seems very hard to lose that fat. Quite frankly and clearly, people are eating too much. Well, in what way should I feel pity for these men? Well, I don't feel pity, not for their material circumstances, but I do feel pity for these men that can only be described as men without arms and without legs, men without ability, men without action. These are not men, these are pathetic beings that have subjugated themselves to the serpent, men that have conformed to the beastly form, men that have turned their back on the warrior spirit and of the creator. See, the problem here is that food is so abundant and people in our modern times are so dependent on constant emotional regulation from somewhere outside of themselves that invulnerable this abundance of food has created a relaxed approach to the world, where really food or the act of consuming food has become an addiction. See, a fat person is really just a person with no self control, but I don't blame that person, for he has only accepted his role as the beast when no other alternative was available or even acceptable. In our world there is no such thing as strength for strength is seen as bad and imposing. Would the tiger impose himself? Actually no, for real strength is not imposing: real strength is simply excellence and in and of itself beautiful, there's no need for strength to be imposed on the world; strength is quite frankly self evident. No man in his right mind would consider obesity to be a strength, but indeed there are today many pressure groups that do claim that obesity is a strength that not only has to be accepted, but imposed on the world and celebrated. This sick and depraved celebration of disease, decay, and death is nothing but the thrill of the entropy, the willing chaos.

    Is obesity a sign that your transformation into the beast is beyond the point of no return? No, not necessarily but I do believe that a fat person, unless he has some kind of medical reason for being fat, is a morally questionable person. What kind of upright man in good conscience would treat his own body that way? The same goes for any kind of addiction that would hurt the body, but I do want to just further qualify this statement by saying that while I don't believe in or adhere to the suggestion that all things that are labeled addictions are actually bad because there are certain habits you must acquire simply to survive in the material domain, such as taking certain imagination enhancers that can lift the creative mind out of the dusk of the ordinary, but I don't believe beans that provide this help really should be labeled an addiction. For me, an addiction is something that you cannot control and that only has an adverse effect on your mind and on your body, such as in the case of overeating. I don't believe that eating food in any way can enhance your senses and your mind. Indeed if anything, eating food will only tire your body. This is why I also believe that fasting is of the utmost importance. I believe that not eating for at least 3 days (72 hours) is very helpful to your body and can also allow you to retain your vital essence. I believe that turning away from food will alter your mind and perception of the world in such a way that you can for a short moment at least become transcendent and really reach beyond the material domain. I also believe that it will become increasingly harder to not become fat, but it may also be that we've passed the apex of fatness, but I do believe that the apex of fatness is still ahead. It could be the case that the materialist order will be able to produce something that can effectively prevent fatness in the future, but I still believe that fatness will only continue to increase. It's quite remarkable that being fat is considered such a bad thing, but one must put this into context: indeed a rich man or a king in the distant past could only be fat because of his earned rank above the beastly masses, but this is no longer the case. Indeed, that fatness dynamic has been inverted.

    Lastly, should you lose weight? If you are fat then you should lose weight and you don't need to do anything to lose weight, you only have to stop eating. The good thing about being fat is that becoming skinny is easy: you don't have to do anything; losing weight is a completely passive process.

    I just also want to clarify that I recognize that there are certain diseased individuals that suffer from conditions that can cause them to gain undue weight in a way that can not be described as a food addiction, but in this post I am only referring to fat people in the context of modernity and food addiction, so do bear with me.
