Dieting results in long term changes to hormones and muscle fibers.

124. Here s a medical fact

Your body changed. You were and are healthier because of it. And you did not lose a gram since your body composition changed...muscle weights a lot more than fat...

Society's treatment is separate and you are letting that discourage you.

That is a somewhat related but separate battle.

Moreover, there are people out there who, due to genetic load are fat...usually it is genetic disorders at the rare level. I knew a few, but it has to do with where my sister worked at for years. the specialty of that clinical research center was metabolic and genetic disorders.

Also once you reach a certain level, the goal s not to be thin and svelte, but to lose and maintain 30% of body mass index. Which is why me and my doctor are happy as can be. I managed the rear feat of close to forty and not only maintained but started losing, slowly mind you, again after three years. I am not on any diet I am familiar with.

But you do what you will. I will be brutal, and I am sorry, you are quite negative and this does not help either.

A change in outlook might help, which includes a healthy fu to some of the worst aspects of society...and yes, been there, done that.
