I’m 56. At my weight, I should have diabetes, edema, heart disease....like other guys I know at my weight.

I think because I was an athlete until my late 20s, maybe that helped..or genetics.

But my luck won’t hold out.

I wonder though...I gained a lot of weight all at once and then didn’t gain or lose now for 15 years.

Does staying the same fat weight make things worse or just stay the same?

Like if a fat person like me doesn’t gain wight or lose for 5 years..does diabetes risk increase even if no weight was gained?

Something I ponder in my deep thoughts :)
