Very thin people tend to have certain characteristics. Fat people tend to have certain physical characteristics (beyond their weight, I mean).

True. Thin people (not all but a majority) tend to eat better foods and exercise more than fat ones. Look at who's jogging and riding bikes in your town. It's not the fat people. Look at what's on the plates of the thins and fats when you go to a restaurant. Look who goes to the all you can eat places.

I will concede there are a minority of people whose body is messed up chemically or their metabolism is off and they can't help it. That's not today's obesity epidemic. It's bad eating and sedentary lifestyles.

And yes, I used to be fat about 13 years and 50 pounds ago, because I had bad eating habits and didn't exercise.

If you look at people’s body types, one can see that some people are thin by nature and some fat by nature. The thin ones have as much difficulty putting on weight as the fat ones do losing weight.

I am happy for your success - if you are happy! :-)

Just because this topic interests me, do you mind if I ask how you lost the weight and what you do to maintain it? Do you know how many calories you consume on a daily basis? How about exercise? You are, of course, in the minority. Most people cannot maintain weight loss for any significant amount of time.
