[quote=Anonymous]I feel fortunate to have great DNA a good life fortune.

So much goes into it.

I have 2 obese friends and both were raped as teens. I think the trauma, cortisol, etc contributes so much to their obesity. I love them both so deeply and wish they didn’t have to think every day about food and be on WW for a decade + but the reality is we eat the same, they are obese, I don’t know why.

OTOH, I have a few super in shape people and one clearly has childhood trauma and I think being able to control 1 thing in her life is important to her so it’s her weight.

I see people ant either end of the spectrum and I feel empathy for what perhaps led them to that.

I’m very, very athletic.., a bit overweight… I was literally born that way, athletic not overweight. My fit, workout friends are frustrated when I don’t train but beat them at a 10K, only 1 friend (also overweight but played d1 sports) can beat me at Pickkeball so we are usually playing with the 30 somethings (we are in our 50’s) and my fit friends are like how do I get better? I mean sure training but you’re still never gonna beat a truly athletic person, I was born like this. Am I happy to be good, sure, do I think years of hard work got me here… no obviously not.

I can consistently drive the golf ball 200+ yard straight. Could you (my thin fit friends) learn to do that? Sure … I mean maybe but can you? I mean you’re not all that coordinated nor truly athletic, the fact is maybe with 100000x more work than me. I’ve only been golfing for 1 year.

I went to a yoga class that was doing holds like crow and headstand. Lol I don’t even know if they are called holds.  I’d never done those but I could easily by the end of this 90 min class. The yoga teacher was like can u do a headstand and I was like I could when I was 10, she said okay try and I held a headstand for a minute and was like can I stop now.

The reality is I’m not superior because I didn’t really have to do all that much to be thin (when I was), relatively fit now or very athletic.

I think people who are proud of being thin and fit don’t realize how much less work they have to put in to be that way than another person would need to. I took it for granted most my life.[/quote]
