Oh boy, I didn't write this to piss people off or start a war. I have read so many of these posts and so many people hate themselves for what they have done. I take 100% responsibility for being as big as I am. I was simply stating that things happen in ones life that you are not aware of at the time. NOW you know you had an unhealthy relationship food! PorkChopExpress, you may have had depression in your 20's, that's sad, however, you didn't have the same kind as a lot of people. It started with me in my teens and now I am 55 and it's still here. My depression is life long told to me by my doctor. with this kind of depression , you just don't care. When they say the pain is real, it is. I mentioned that I was a jock, so expending calories is something I did...a lot... So, I'm not going to defend myself on here because you have no idea what my life is like or my health. I was just trying to give people a little hope. Not everyone is in perfect health! Genetics do play a role! There were things I could have done differently, but that is in the past and can't change that now.. So please, don't attach someone when they are trying to help!

I am 55 and getting the sleeve on Nov. 9th. I just want to let people know that, most of us fat people are designed that way! I know that sounds rediculos but it's true, Our genetics play the biggest role. Both my parents were thin thin, both my brothers were thin. Me... well depression kicked in real early for me, in my teens. That's what started it. That is a chemical imbalance not a "oh I'm so sad" thing. My brothers and I ate pretty much the same, we all were into sports, and I was a Tom boy. I came from a time when you got home from school put your play clothes on and went outside until dinner. We played hard, yet I still got fat! When you're a teenager that depresses you even more and now you start comfort eating. You are totally unaware that this is happening. I have sever endometriosus, PSOD, hosimoto's, depression, and those things I had no control over.I didn't do anything to get those. However, the high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesteral, fatty liver, and even osteoarthritus, rhumitoid arthritus and bursitus I had something to do with those. All those thing required meds. Most of the meds make you gain weight. Most of those things kept me from having a normal life. Like excercising, and doing things that require activity. My point here is that us fat people have a lot of what I just said in common....Why do you think that is??? Genetics! Stop beating yourself up for being fat. It's not all your fault. Diabetes starts in your body very early on, it cause you to be the type of person to crave carbs and sweets. Also, the thyroid controls your metabalisum... not you. Metabalisum is 2 things, it controls how fast you digest food and how much energy you have. Notice the thin people eating so much that you just don't know where it all goes, yet they are thin. They also are the ones that have a lot of energy. It's not fair but we have been geneticlly decided before we were even born. So PLEASE, STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP!
