Absolutely.
- disabilities that make it difficult/impossible to exercise
- same with chronic illnesses
- being on medication that increases appetite and/or causes weight gain
- living in a food desert
- living somewhere where fresh produce is much more expensive
- no time/energy to plan, shop, prepare, or cook meals (possibly due to working long hours/multiple jobs, depression, etc.)
- lack of support from family and friends
- low self-esteem
Etc., etc., etc.
Back in the day I weighed over 300 lbs and it certainly wasn't because I wanted to be that fat or because I was lazy. I was only able to start getting healthier and losing weight after my life situation began to improve. And trust me, it is MUCH easier to gain a lot of weight than some people think. Unfortunately taking that weight off again can be grueling.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending P. I hate that she seems to be obviously lying about her weight loss/size (and how much more relatable would she be to her followers if she were honest with them?) I know we love our fat shaming on this site, but I just want to get across the point that making blanket assumptions about fat people is incredibly ignorant.
