When I was reading, that's the part that threw me, right away. The doctor's callous "you did this to yourself -- there is no other reason for you to be this fat". Same with the "you're going to die if you don't fix it", and "here, have some more exercise gear, because we love you". And I just kind of... fell for it. For the subsequent enthusiasm of the trainers, for the enthusiasm of the author... I told myself, I'm having this reaction because I'm being a defensive fatty, and I should look at it objectively. And today, still mulling on the story and unable to stop thinking and fretting about it, I realized that I fell for it. That I wasn't thinking objectively at all; that I SHOULD have smoke coming out of my ears.
