[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] And to the poster that is 5'4 and a size 14...I'm sorry, but you're in denial. If you are heavy for your weight, then you are eating too much...plain and simple. [/quote]

Yes of course I am (I'm the 5'4" @ size 14 poster).    I admit that and it seems obvious.

I was just responding to the discreet point that eating vegetarian, unprocessed or minimally processed (Fage yogurt, say) foods will lead to being a size 4.

One thing I wish people would include on their back-patting posts is their age.  It's one thing to be trim at 27 and quite another to be easily size 2/4 (without smoking or off-label Ritalin) at 55.

Much time spent in health club and pool locker rooms -- where, presumably, everyone naked there cares to some degree about their health/figure -- demonstrates that much.[/quote]

I'm the vegetarian minimally processed poster and I don't think I said that eating my way leads to a size 4 (otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion because everyone could just switch to my diet).  For me personally it did (I said later that I was a size 12 in HS/college - changing the frequency and volume of what I ate along with avoiding processed foods made me drop the weight with little effort over a two-or-so-year period).

I was saying that it bothers me to see what people eat and then have them sigh and say they wish they were like me and could eat whatever they want, but oh well it's just genetics.  No, I spend a lot of time maintaining my weight - it's not a huge hassle or an obsession, but I do put a lot of thinking and effort into it.

I'm 34, two kids, work full-time.  I've already noticed that I do have to watch it a little more in my 30s, so I'm sure I'll continue on that track as I get older. [/quote]
