I have to blame it partly on the diet plans, and whats pushed on them, since the early 70s I have been watching fat girls fail, and fail hard trying all those plans.
A lot blame genetics, and some of that is true, but a lot is what we eat, and what we do to burn it off.
It's getting harder every day thanks to soy, and things we all eat that our bodies don't know what to do with so it stores it up.
I really do feel for people trying to loose weight, and never can keep it off.
For me, I was a big milk feed baby, and country food till I stopped all that being pushed on me.
It helped a lot just refusing to eat the stuff, and changing my diet.
Changing my eating I'm sure kept me from being 300 plus pounds now, and I think I'm pretty fit looking at 200 even though the baby fat will likely never go away.
LOL, I used to take my baby brothers milk even, I'm a year older than him.
Didn't hurt him any, he is bigger than I am now.
I'm living proof that genetics determines your weight, IF you don't modify your diet to exclude the things that make you gain weight.
I was a chubby baby and a chubby child, fat adolescent and young adult, etc. because I was fed the wrong types of food. Fortunately I was always able to keep it somewhat under control by remaining super active, coupled with the judicious use of amphetamines...
I was never the fattest girl in school growing up but one of my good friends was and I watched her struggle so much physically and socially that it was heartbreaking.
Once I got married and started having babies, I blew up like a balloon and went all the way up to over 400lbs. I'm only 5'-3" so I was actually bigger around than I was tall...
Also a lot of my weight gain was due to not only my bad relationship with food but my relationship with my ex-husband. He likes FAT chicks just like Odi and he used to feed me all the bad things that make me fat as fuck.
Nowadays that doesn't happen anymore. I no longer have that bad influence in my daily life and I stick to a diet that is right for me. I'm down almost 300lbs from my all time high. It's pretty amazing and frightening when I look at those old pics of me from when I was super fat. I never want to go back to that size again. I never want to delude myself again into thinking that being a SSBBW is okay. Being a little overweight is not the worst thing in the world and it's different for each individual...but there comes a time when the weight becomes too much and it begins to rule your life and it starts to define who you are. When that happens it becomes a spiral into a miserable place that I don't ever intend to get stuck in again.
