[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder how people let themselves go and get overweight (more than say 20lbs). I don't understand how people can allow their health to slip and have all that extra fat hanging off their body.

I wonder if you are only in your 30s and 40s and are already 20, 30, 40lbs if it occurs to you what a physical mess you are going to be at 50, 60, and 70. I wonder if you have children and if it bothers you that you might not be around for them very long when they reach adulthood, or if you are around if you will have limited mobility and energy for them.[/quote]

Since you ask I will try to give my experience. I was like you I just thought fat people ate too much and didn't care enough.

I was always thin. But not naturally - I ate healthy and exercised.

Then my dad got sick and my son was diagnosed with a disability all the same week - oh and I turned 40 and my doctor had me try a new medications. Well 6 months later I was 20-30 lbs heavier. EEK - my doctor took me off the medication and said don't worry about it the weight will fall right off - well 6 months later it did not.

So I did weight watchers and worked out - and well 2 years later I was still over weight by 25 lbs - that is 3 full years of being overweight. I tried everything - WW, bootcamps, running 5K's, organic food, Atkins, etc.

Part of me thinks that Karma was giving a big kick in the ass.

I lost all but 10 lbs because the stress in my life is much lower and I actually sleep at night. It was a 3 year lesson but I feel like a better person for it... and if i had to choose I would rather be overweight than judgemental.[/quote]
