Moving to a country with appropriate work-life balance where I'm not constantly stressed and bombarded by junk food advertising 24/7, where I can walk or cycle to work safely without having to pass a fast food restaurant on every single corner, where restaurants don't insist on serving you three portions of everything at every meal and where they don't put high fructose corn syrup in your yogurt at the grocery store.
But yeah - obesity is totally an issue about lazy weak-willed people who aren't as clever as you and haven't figured out that eating too much makes you gain weight and really need to hear your inspiring story of once having to go up a jean size until you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps.
