[quote=Anonymous]Aside from the shaming aspect, we aren't giving enough attention to the fact that metabolism decreases with weight loss. Maintaining can be harder than losing and once you lose the first time you will never be at the same level as a naturally thin person. I once lost a significant amount of weight and maintaining it (which I did for two years) was harder than losing it. I was working out 2+ hours a day and eating around 1,000 calories. When I got pregnant with my first I gained a lot of it back, and the rest of it back when I was pregnant for my second (which also required bed rest). I've done weight watchers since and lost nothing. I still work out. I am significantly overweight. The shaming is very real, too. Both DH and I have larger families. Our babies were born normal weight but gained weight quickly even EBF. Both of my kids had their weight flagged as problematic from about 3 months on... They already hate doctors.[/quote]
