[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a fat kid in the 1970s. I played outside all day long, we had one car and no central a/c until the 1980s in our 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house. Our food came from huge gardens that my grandparents maintained and we would get a slaughtered cow and pig that would go in the deep freezer for use all winter. I was still fat. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. [/quote]

I think it's sort of general- a lot of people these days can control their weight fairly easily with proper diet and exercise- but sometimes it's just harder due to genetics or other factors that can't be controlled, even when you do all of the right things. I have a relative who has had life long struggles with her weight and she eats better/healthier and is more conscientious about regular exercise than I am- I am slim and she is not, although she much better habits. It's not really fair, but I remember growing up, she had the most beautiful, clear skin and straight, shiny hair and I struggled with terrible acne and frizzy, lank hair. Genetics are so hard.[/quote]
