[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this is a struggle for, among others, past teen athletes because my spouse eats like a teen football player and has trouble eating less. The old habits are hard to change.

I read that the way we ate in the past affects our cells. That then carries forward as to whether we will struggle with weight gain or not.

My husband was very thin and muscular as a high school athlete. He ate everything in sight and didn’t stop growing until he was 20. He didn’t play sports in college but I think the growth spurt kept him thin and when he started gaining weight in his 20’s it looked good.

The thing is he still eats like that…

And he never stopped gaining weight.

Around 30 was the last time he looked good and after that the weight gain started detracting from his looks. It started with “chubby” then “dad bod” and at 40 he’s obese. I’m kind of terrified of what the next 10 years will look like. I met him in college and he eats the same way as he did back then. He’s spent the last 2 decades overeating and gaining weight, so that’s his normal. He gains 4 to 5 pounds every year. [/quote]
