A lack of willpower (which you've readily admitted) is a form of mental disorder is it not? The ability for self-discipline isn't there, even when there is a clear risk to health. People who want to lose weight should see a psychiatrist first and not a dietician, because mentally they either can't stop stuffing their face or they're eating all the wrong things.
Not many would argue that someone with anorexia has a mental disorder, so why can't fat people have a mental disorder too?
