The ONLY person I knew who was fat because of a physical issue had had cancer of something like the pituitary gland and no longer had one, and that person was on a whole bunch of artificial hormones. And yes, would be considered about double normal body weight.

However, that was ONE person in almost 70 years.

I also know someone who has lost over 50 pounds by just cutting out soda and fast food. Not even trying hard to *diet* otherwise, like eating salads all the time or calorie restriction. Just cutting out the crap.

I agree with you on that. The kind of fat we see today is eating and lifestyle habits, not metabolic anything.

I have empty sella syndrome

Head injury

Why I take T

I was aenemic and a dyke endo was smart enough to figure it out when others failed

1995

You have to abstain T to have kids

False signaling creates blanks

Anyhow

I was 170-190 till around 30 then the base started creeping lol

200 by aged 40 and so on

Id be thrilled now at 66 to be 210-220

But man it indeed takes effort

I do look around and see socioeconomic pressures affect this some

Rich women no doubt are under more scrutiny

When I grew up poor people worked more and were thinner
