I typed my point of view, then I though I might be wrong. If you are sensetive to fat people issue, please do not read it.

Spoiler:

I am very very bad at it.
I despise any external intrusions for fat reduction.
Only natural action. The rest is like an easy food for fat lazy people. I would cut a slack for very ill people who have no choice. Otherwise, it looks like fat lazy people look for an easy way out, so they can keep on eating tons of garbage without moving a limb.

My better 2/3s told me about hidden fat, fat that we do not see. It is the most difficult fat to get rid off. It could be that you look more or less OK but weight more than you expect and maybe the internal fat is to be blamed.
I think they talk about it in bjones6416's link.
