lot of truth here. I suffered from this growing up pantry full of cereal, little debbies and potato chips. I don't blame my parents though they were just as uneducated on nutrition at the time. Poor health killed my father at 54 and we was never obese but that didn't mean he was healthy as I've since found out.

did he eat what you ate? why wasn't he fat as well?

I was raised on diet soda, Mom was always on a diet and we never had things like twinkees, little debbies....we never had butter in the house either.

We did like Chinese food and use to go to the Buffet after church, but other than that, my childhood was school breakfast, school lunch.....and then dinners were not unhealthy....and were usually some form of weight watchers "points" system...but portion size may have been bigger, not sure

Whenever I'd go to a friend's house, they had all the junk food....chips, candy, real soda...we didn't have those.

Diet soda is not some great alternative to regular soda.

real butter is not terrible for you.

eta: you seem like youre fishing for someone to tell you there is a reason, out of your control, as to why you arent the weight you want to be.

He did and the reason why he didn't get large like me doesn't matter honestly. Genetically he may burn more calories at rest than I do. Don't know but him at 54 being slightly overweight, and me now still considered obese I am healthier than he ever was.

If your focus is on just being fat or overweight you are doing it wrong. The goal is good health. I can assure you if you do that and do it correctly the weight will take care of itself.

I get where you are at because I've personally been there and I'm still there to a degree. It sucks man it really does. But you have to treat it as a disease. I have a disease and my medication is eating right and exercising regularly the rest of my life. IF I don't I die early. Simple as that
