[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say I am average size, except for that other post.  I am a healthy weight for my height.

I guess I am judgemental about larger size people, and some are my friends.  Not so much that I ignore them, but I do get frustrated because their health is deteriorating, and their kids - same age a mine, do not get the benefit of a healthy adult engaged in physical activity with them.   When the biomechanics start to fail because of weight, I understand the spiral of weight gain because movement is curtailed.  But then, I wonder why there is no corresponding reduction in calories going in.

When I gain 5 lbs, I get more active, watch what I eat and try to lose it.  I know pounds can creep on, and when you notice your, 20lbs up, and small adjustments in behavior don't do much.[/quote]

I'm about 15 or 20 pounds overweight, and I can answer this.  It's because for some of us, it's not as simple as calories in, calories out. We eat to celebrate, when we're stressed or bored. I know I will gain weight when I eat a certain way, and even though I'd rather not gain weight, I eat it anyway.  It's like many people and money: they know they're going to hate it when the credit card bill comes, but they want to buy X.

What is your weakness?[/quote]
