(1,388 posts)For whatever reason. And eating the wrong foods is what leads to obesity. If you don't believe that, then calling me "fat prejudiced" is way off base. As I said above, the problem is simple - the solution is difficult. People are born with different hurdles to jump and hoops to jump through. People who go on diets do so on the wrong premise. The premise should be for good health and the side effect will be less weight. A life style change is what is called for, not a diet. Been there done that. The reason people put the weight back on is because they lost the weight for the wrong reason. Once they reach what they seem to think is their ideal they go back to the life style they lead before they lost the weight.
This winter I was 215 pounds and I am 5 foot 7 inchces. Check the science on that. I was obese. I am making a life style change and am losing weight, but on the better side of that, I feel and look healthier. My blood pressure is down. My cholesterol is down. My skin color is better. I move better. I feel better.
