My grampa was 300 plus pounds when he died at 98.. my adorable 185 pound gramma is 85... My skinny ex boyfriend died in his sleep of a heart attack at 32 because heart problems ran in the family.... it's all in the DNA, does that mean I recommend that people don't eat right and excercise? No.. it just means that you can't generalize.. and it shouldn't be acceptable to make fun of people because of how they look. We are ALL sinners, cute or ugly, fat or thin, and God loves us all.

oops almost forgot... 2 years ago my husband was hit by a 3/4 ton pickup while he was on his motorcycle, sent him flying into the pavement.... his doctor told him that if he had been a skinny guy he would be dead.

Thanks for the not generalizing post.

My birth mother whom I took after to a T is very intelligent, very eccentric/manic, short and fat but healthy physically.

I don't have a thyroid gland lost that whole thing at 29. Up untill then I barely tipped the scales at 100lbs.

To lose wieght I would have to spend hours a day working out and I have other priorities.

Being hyper I can run cirlces around most people and get three times the work done.

You are right it is in the Genes and ones disposition to perservere.
