This is significant as well in that it points out that people can legitimately struggle with overweight eating issues as the brain adapts and makes people more hungry. I struggled a lot with losing weight and continue to struggle with keeping it off. It's frustrating when some folks (presumably, who have never struggled with weight and eating, and the psychology issues with eating, such as eating to feel good and then feeling depressed because of overeating) say simplistic things like "just don't eat so much" or "try having a salad". It's not that being big is healthy; it's not. It's that breaking the cycle of being big is hard (for some).
