You seem to be basing this on the idea that all overweight people were trim growing up and came from healthy environments. That really isn't true. Many of them came from situations where they weren't given healthy diets or, at the least, learned some very bad habits.

As losing weight really is extremely hard, I think anyone who has overcome being raised in an unhealthy environment deserves a lot of praise.
