They also like to pretend that cooking takes a huge amount of time and effort, when in reality it's usually just half an hour or less if you're making meals for one. The stereotype that fat people are lazy is kinda true, but it's more that they're extremely reluctant to try new things and disrupt their routine (everyone is, but fat people more so than the average person). If they actually learned to cook basic meals, they'd be shocked at how easy it is and how little time it takes.They genuinely think that packaged frozen junk food and Whoppers are somehow more affordable than chicken thighs, beans, rice, frozen vegetables, etc.
These self-defeating beliefs are part of a larger mental pattern called learned helplessness. When they try and fail to lose weight a few times, they conclude that it's impossible due to circumstances beyond their control, and that society and their bodies are conspiring to make them fat. It's the toxic food supply, or it's the fat genes they got from their fat parents (not the habits they learned from those same parents), or it's their work schedule or their kids or some rare disease.
Ozempic is popular because it removes the effort required to lose weight, but the problem is that the effort itself is the only way to attain permanent weight loss. Otherwise you'll be on the pill forever, and God knows what that's doing to your body. We'll know in about ten years or so what the long-term effects of GLP-1 agonists on non-diabetics are, and I imagine they aren't nice.
