Those people aren't here on this forum. Preaching here does no good. Making fun of them behind their back doesn't accomplish much either. It seems like it's only serving to increase your self-esteem as you revel at your remarkable self-control and eye opening nutritional acumen.
Ironic isn't it.https://addictionrecoverybasics.com/what-is-a-dry-drunk/

Blah blah blah....
It IS about will power and mental toughness.
People that can't control their own actions are weak.
Look at the people that spend their week ends in bars, smoking and drinking. Weak little sheep for the most part.
Same with the fatties- no self control.

There is any amount of research that demonstrates that "will-power" is baloney. People are tested under laboratory conditions, and invited to make a choice while their brain activity is monitored. They press a button when they've chosen. In every case, the brain activity associated with the decision is over seconds before they press the button. In other words, the choice is made before they are aware that they have chosen. They do not consciously choose, they become conscious that they have chosen.
When we make choices we are doing what we want. We are not imposing our "will" on ourselves, we are merely producing conscious explanations, after the fact, for the choices we wanted to make. You give up smoking, or eat less to lose weight, because you want to. Your choice is no more virtuous, or mentally tough, than that of the person who chooses differently. It is just a product of your different desires and responses to stimuli. So don't give me any crap about how strong-minded you are, it doesn't mean a thing.
If you disagree, try this. Do you like strawberries? Try exerting your "will-power" to make yourself stop liking them. Dislike calves liver? use your "will-power" to make yourself like it.

This is about the most effusive bunch of softies that can't take a tiny amount of constructive criticism that I've ever seen
Emotionally delicate whiners that pour obscene amounts of money into a bicycle because they can't face the truth about their own shortcomings and lack of physical prowess, and instead try to fix all their life's problems by throwing money at the issue.
(OK not all of you- but probably a goodly percentage
)

Being judgmental – This is a very destructive attitude for people in recovery. When we judge a person as being better than or less than, we are setting up a situation where we inflate our egos feeling better than other people. On the other hand if we judge ourselves to be on the short end we can feel bitter and generate low self-esteem. Being judgmental is a low self-esteem generator.

hmm...but even Armstrong is a gurly man because he rides expensive bikes to mask the inferiority complex he got after losing to Contador.

Some yes, human beings are a diverse bunch you know. What I find useless is the name calling and ignoring the causes behind people's poor lifestyle choices since understanding that is what will help people over come it. Now what I think would be a good choice is if you recognize your obvious anger management deficiencies and get some help in that area.
Stupid people do stupid things.
Painful consequences will often force them to reexamine their course in life.
Or perhaps you subscribe to the "everyone's a winner, everyone get a blue ribbon, because "winners vs. losers is sooo icky" School of Oprah-thought.

Only if you don't mind following up with sit-ups, a three mile run and some rounds in the ring (gloves optional) afterward....and getting your butt whipped by a 51 year old jughead in an evening gown.
