Scientists find how 'obesity gene' makes people fat

2. There are a bunch of reason for obesity, genetics is one of them

When you mix all the problems together it becomes a great big problem.

I was raised in a slim, athletic family. No junk food, very little TV. My parents were teachers and very health oriented. I have two brothers, the biological children of my parents, I was adopted at birth.

I've been heavy all my life, nothing my parents did helped for very long. What did happen was I grew to despise myself as bring broken, damaged, no willpower a failure.... etc.

I found my birth family 10 years ago. To my surprise my mother and two sibling all struggle every day with weight. My mother has had lap band surgery and is doing much better. I am still on the yo-yo thing. Every year I lose a bunch of weight and then I fall off the wagon and gain it all back and then some. Hopefully someday I will find a solution that works for me.
