 Quote From: angelahuts Why are you so set against people trying to get healthy? If you are so sure that there is no way you can lose weight and that other people should not even try and should have the negative attitude that you do then why read the weight loss message boards at all? I am sure that you have heard the expression: If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. People come on here and post to make themselves feel good, the same reason we are trying to lose weight and be healthy. You should not take it upon yourself to try and depress everyone else just because you are. If you honestly do all the working out and eating right and don't lose weight, or worse, gain; then you need to see a doctor and find out what is wrong with your body. And I am sorry but I am a lot more inclined to believe 100's of doctors and nutritionists when they say that fat is not inherited then saying that I should not even try to be healthy because my parents were overweight, that is just an excuse. Sorry if I seem a little peeved, I just hate when someone tries to bring everyone down to their level of unhappiness, depression, and excuses. Look, I'm am not trying to bring anyone down. I feel I have a right to say what I feel also. I am not being rude or using bad language. All I'm saying is that it's dishearting to see so many people blaming themselves for being overweight. Just because my views are different than most on here doesn't mean I'm what you say I am. You couldn't be more wrong. I am not saying no one should try. I am just telling my experience is all. I am not depressed either. I am 50 and have been through alot myself with my weight. I am very sorry if I offended anyone here, that was not my intentions. I am only going by MY experience. It would seem just because mine are different than yours that I'm not welcomed here. When in fact mine are really not so different. Also, and yes I have been told that it is mostly genics, and it depends on who you listen to what you believe. Some say it is, some say it's %50 genics some say it is not at all. Thats my point, no one really knows. I haven't said anything mean on here either. Last I heard this is a free country and people can speak their minds. I am expressing that right. I am not being ugly about it. Maybe you are bitter and thats why you read something into my post that wasn't there. I am not bitter anymore, I use to be, but I've come to learn that it's not worth it. I will not beat myself up over this anymore is all. I am happy and for the most part healthy. I have a wonderful husband and family life. I have been checked out by doctors, they have no answers either. Except that maybe the reasnon why I can no longer able lose weight is because I've done it so much back and forth through my life that I've ruined myself by trying and retrying, gaining and relosing. Thats why I'm hear, maybe someone will here me out there and not judge me for what I have experienced. Thanks for listening again. SORRY if I made people mad, that was not my intentions. |
