[quote=Anonymous]Oh God, wish I knew. Was an overweight child and teen and have one DD who definitely has inherited my body type.  And she, like me, has a super thin older sis who eats twice as much as she and doesn't gain a pound.

I feel like my parents tried everything. They didn't keep a lot of crap in the house, encouraged me to exercise, my mom did WW with me for a while but nothing helped.  I never had (and still don't) a fully-functioning full-o-meter. I have never been a huge eater of junk but have always eaten too much too fast. My stomach just doesn't get the signals to the brain on time. So I really have to try hard to practice portion control, and it's not easy.

I didn't lose weight until I got to college. I'm one of the rare birds who actually lost weight their freshman year. It was probably b/c I didn't eat much in the dining halls and almost never snacked. Also went to a college full of athletic people so I was motivated to work out a lot.

I still struggle with my weight at age 40. Am not obese, but could lose 20-15 pounds.  Again, not a poor eater, just eat too damn much![/quote]
