Thats It 

Thank You 

  What exaxtly is that. Does that have something to do with the brain and appetite.   

  I thought I heard somewhere (probably on Dr.Phil) that if lepton was missing or maybe if it was some part of the brain not funtioning properly. Then a person could eat something and not even feel full on a full stomach. Basically people would keep eating and that may be a problem that would lead them to obesity......  

  Was the research paper for college???I did one once on Obesity  

People are too fat because they eat a ton of crap and they don't exercise. It is really disgusting to think of how poorly they take care of their bodies and how they blame stupid things like spider bites for a 400 pound weight gain. I will never understand how someone can get to 700 pounds before finally doing something about it. Come on - why wait until you are stuck in bed and can't bathe or move or leave the house? When I go out to restaurants to eat I am constantly amazed at the amount of food people consume. Life is all about choices. I choose to eat healthy food and to exercise daily and to take care of myself and not become overweight. People like this are lazy and undisciplined in my opinion. And her children are just as stupid for bringing all that fattening food to her.  

Yes the paper was for college. Leptin is a protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including the regulation of appetite and metabolism. Many feel the lack of it may be why there are super morbidly obese people.

We have come to a day and age where we can find some excuse to be the person we are and act the way we do. Nothing is ever ones own fault anymore. People need to take a hard look in the mirror and accept responsibilty for themselves. Nobody holds us down and makes us over eat. I think we know when we are eating for comfort. It becomes our responsibilty to find other alternatives. Shame on people who do not help us when we ask for it but shame on us for not reaching out for help. When people start accepting their role in their unhappiness and overindulgence, then and only then will they find the power to conquere.

you could not possibly understand why people become obese if you have never been there. I am obese. I have already lost 73lbs but I am still obese. I am choosing to lose the weight now but I never said to myself, "I want to be obese and have no energy and have people talk about me!"

I could tell you my life story but the things that drove me to eat are too personal and painful. It is simple to look at the surface and say that "people are too fat because  they eat a ton of crap and don't exercise..." but it is too easy to judge when you do not know the reason behind the behavior.

Let ye who know what it is like to be obese cast the first stone!
