Sorry if I can't spell. But the following was mentioned and I'd like more opinions. What are your stances on obesity? Except my sister disgusts me. Shes not only bi but she let herself get really fat. And that is almost as sinful in my book. |

I don't know, I saw where that was first stated and tried to keep my mouth shut. My weight is a constant battle. I eat healthy, and still, struggle the heck out of it. I was active in high school, especially in dance. Both sides of my family's women have been overweight-all of them active. In our case it's genetics. But I still excersize and take care of myself, the right thing to do. I have accepted myself. If I disgust anyone, well they might as well keep their opinions to themselves. Because it's personally, their problem, not mine. And if they want to really be involved, they can be involved positively.  |

Except my sister disgusts me. Shes not only bi but she let herself get really fat. And that is almost as sinful in my book. Like Pandora, I bit my lip when I first read it, though I wanted badly to comment on it. I think perhaps I was slightly offended at the comment because of the pressure that's put on females to be skinny, to look "perfect," etc; but after reaching a calm, collected state I admitted to myself that I don't know the specifics of the situation, and it could very well be that Rob's sister just let herself get that way for no reason other than being lazy...? Anyway, what I do know is that, like Pandora said, some people cannot help being overweight because of their genes. The women on my mother's side are all heavy, which means I'm likely to have the same "predisposition" which, once I hit puberty, I found out I do.  It's hard for me, and for others with "fat genes" to keep in shape and to keep healthy...which brings me to my next point... People who suffer from a disease like depression are often found to be slightly, if not significantly overweight. This again, isn't their fault, as the disease just completely takes over...the same with an over-eating disorder (I know there's a name for it...?). So yes, some people are just plain lazy and let themselves get big, but it's not always like that. Shalom, Tiger |

Heh, it seems that we all had the same thoughts when reading that post. I feel like my mom's genes are prone to overweightness. I am striving though, to loose weight, and I believe it's my father's fast metabolism that allowes me to loose and gain significant amounts of weight in but a weeks time. My advice to everyone who is trying to loose some poundage...no soda, all water.
