I can totally agree to that, food is like a drug for some people - usually deeply rooted psychological issues.

But no one is "big boned" and can use that as excuse

Big boned.

I am a parent and see lots of kids, especially twins and siblings and am always curious about how they can be so different bodywise.

For example, I know a set of twins who weigh exactly the same even though one eats far more than his brother. His parents tell me this but I also see the 'hungry one' eating all the time.

I also know 2 sisters age 6 and 8. The 6 year old is bigger boned, eats little and is heavier than her older sister who is skinny as a toothpick but eats more calories than many of the bigger and active boys in her class. Her sister is bigger boned and will have more weight issues later on in life, whereas the 8 year old will be able to eat whatever she wants (like her mother and grandmother) and never gain a pound.

Yes, exactly.

Yes agreed. When more people can see this then hopefully there won't be so much hate.

Good discussion :winkwink:

The difference in bone weights between people is less than 5 pounds, that includes men and women, tall and short. We are talking 5 pound skeletons versus 10 pound skeletons. Those possible 5 pounds do not write off the 50+ pounds that people try to void as being "big boned."

It may hurt, it may feel like a total gut check, but the first step in solving obesity is admitting it. Not creating self diagnosed diseased or mythical ailments. Admit it, accept it, solve it.

I Never, Ever, make fun of people for things they can not help.
But when it comes to things they can; fair game.
Get some fucking self discipline. Whatever it takes.

I eat 2500 - 3000 calories a day and it's EXTREMELY hard for me to put on any weight at all, so while it doesn't apply to every obese person, some people *are* built different from 'normal'. Chuck in legit medical issues, side effects of medication, and it's why I refrain from being a judgemental prick to strangers. Well, about their weight anyway :winkwink:

Here's the thing though... even with that - how do you know their specific circumstances, and things that may take priority? Everyone fights different battles every day, I have no way of knowing if that person is suffering depression or other psychological issues, or a multitude of other circumstances that I'd be unable to handle if it were me. You cannot, ever, experience what someone else experiences, even if you are in the same situation - much less when you aren't :2 cents:

Don't get me wrong I'm no saint, and slip into being a judgemental cock more than I'd like to. When I sit and actually think about it though, I usually come to a different conclusion. As for actually being *angry* at someone else's personal situation, wtf lol.

If food comes in a package or box, read the ingredients. The crap that goes into food these days has one intention. To make huge corporations richer.
