Easy to start working on.

Well, not as easy as you think for some people.
Some people have a genetic condition that makes it extremely hard to lose
weight.... I am one of them. I did lose weight once, kept it off for 10
years, but almost died because in my attemp to be "like everyone else" I
became severely anorexic. So for me, losing weight is not a question of
having will-power. It's a lot more complicated than that.

It is an extremely difficult condition to change. There is only one
treatment, and that is eating less. Choose nutrient-rich foods so you
can get your nutrition and being able to eat the most. Get a notepad
and keep it handy, and write down everything you eat for 2 or 3 days.
It ups your awareness of what you're doing. Try it.

Everyone has the same genetic condition, which is difficulty in taking
off weight, altho its easier to take it off in the early stages of
overweight. The longer one is fat, the more resistance the body has to
let go of it.

How often do you take your genetic condition to the gym? Has your
genetic condition made an appointment with a nutritional specialist?

I'm sorry, but some people who eats 2000 calories a day will lose weight,
and some others will gain with the same caloric intake. I am a member of
the second group. In order to lose weight I have to eat between 500 to 1000
calories a day. I have been through years of dieting, believe me I know how
to eat. I have a lot of "idiosyncratic" (sp?) problems that no doctors can
identify the cause, other than "it's hormone related". There are no golden
rules when it comes to the human body, and it is false to pretend that
everyone is the same in the weight gain/weight loss battle. I know people
who cannot gain weight no matter what they do, and others who just stop
drinking soda and lose a huge amount of weight. Thinking everyone reacts
the same is plain ignorant.

I don't eat pies.
Nor do I eat fast food, desserts, or chips and other fatty food.
Sorry to burst your bubble of ignorance that says that all overweight people
are that way because they eat too much, or badly.

It never ceased to amaze me how easy is it to judge and critisize people who
are overweight..... have I said I had a skin disorder on top of my
depression I would have received supportive emails, but because I posted
about my weight, I got nothing but deragatory and harsh comments. It really
hurts me. Really. I thought this was a place to vent and support each
other. Apparently not.

And to answer your snotty questions Franz about the gym and nutritional
specialist, it is yes to both. Not as if my answer would mean anything.....

well, your body can't fill those fat cells without fat to put in 'em, and
there's not too many ways for that fat to get in there. but i know the
solution isn't as simple as starving yourself.

if you've got a metabolic disorder that causes the food you eat to be stored
as fat instead of converted to energy, that's diagnosable and treatable. if
this is going on, you're probably quite lethargic in addition to being
overweight. an underactive thyroid is sometimes the problem, among other
possibilities. in this case you need medical help.

if you inherited a body type that has a larger than average number of fat
cells, you probably have to live with them screaming for food all the time.
when they're depleted, they trigger hunger. unfortunately the more you
satisfy them, the more they reproduce. so then you pretty much have to
accept being "big", and try to keep the issue under control.

some people have opted for liposuction, which is a procedure for removing
fat cells from various parts of the body, with mixed results. from what i've
read on the subject, i gather fat cells are complex in function and are only
now beginning to be understood. removing them indiscriminately may not be a
good idea.

i personally see nothing unattractive about a well-padded body, or anything
wrong with it as long as it's healthy, active, and reasonably toned. if
you're looking to meet a partner, and you run into some dick who thinks you
need to look like barbie to be attractive, then you know he's too
superficial and messed up to be with you anyway.

now here's your asd impression of a goof , hi Cal ,
show them how you do

Here's a reason why people are not sympathizing with your claim to have
a genetic condition that makes you be fat: So does every other
overweight person make claims like that. I have heard so many reasons
and stories from overweight people about why its not their fault they
are fat, that it is truly laughable. Even if you do have that rare
special condition that causes you to gain weight disproportionately to
your food intake, it still can be managed by your intake of food. If
you want proof, take a look at pics from countries where there is
starvation and drought. They are all extremely thin. No one stays fat
in the face of insufficient food intake. Since you have had serious
problems associated with weight loss attempts, you should diet with the
supervision of a professional, preferably a doctor, to prevent
anorexia.

I don't think you are going to find any sympathy here, other than
acknowledgment from other overweight people that it is truly very
difficult to get the weight off and keep it off. Join the club, or
better yet, join weight watchers.

Sincerely, ..of Perception

you have to find someone who loves you for who you are... there are
plenty of depressed, overweight people who are married or in some type
of relationship... It's true that we live in a very judgemental,
appearence oriented, superficial society, there was a very interesting
show on "20/20" about that this past friday, but not all people are
like that... The most important things is finding self love and self
acceptance and self esteem... not that it's easy to find those things
by any means, but it's a good goal to work on...

I am not gaining more weight. I am eating just to stay alive.

My thyroid is checked regularly, and it is within normal range.

Hey Jordy,

I support 100% of everything you say. I try to work by that rule everyday
of my life. It's just that for some strange reason, when I find someone who
is attracted to me, they usually run when I talk to them about my dysthymia.

Here's a reason why people are not sympathizing with your claim to have
a genetic condition that makes you be fat: So does every other
overweight person make claims like that. I have heard so many reasons
and stories from overweight people about why its not their fault they
are fat, that it is truly laughable.

--I agree. But believe me I am the living proof that such a condition
exists. My mother was on a diet ALL her life. From the day I started being
able to eat solids, I ate nothing but good food. Fruits and veggies, lean
meants, no potatoes, no pasta, no dessert, no snack foods, no sodas. I
think I ate my first potato chip at a birthday party when I was 7 or 8. It
didn't prevent me to weight 100 lbs at 6 years old. A doctor put me on a
strict diet when I was 6, and I lost 40 lbs eating salad and drinking plain
water. So someone eating sensibly CAN gain weight no matter what they do.--

Even if you do have that rare
special condition that causes you to gain weight disproportionately to
your food intake, it still can be managed by your intake of food. If
you want proof, take a look at pics from countries where there is
starvation and drought. They are all extremely thin. No one stays fat
in the face of insufficient food intake. Since you have had serious
problems associated with weight loss attempts, you should diet with the
supervision of a professional, preferably a doctor, to prevent
anorexia.

--Exactly. I eat about 800 calories a day in order to not gain anymore
weight. I take vitamins supplements. And for your information, the
anorexia came after I went on a diet with a licenced nutritionnist.--

I don't think you are going to find any sympathy here, other than
acknowledgment from other overweight people that it is truly very
difficult to get the weight off and keep it off. Join the club, or
better yet, join weight watchers.

--Thank you for your comments, but no, I won't goind WW. Been there done
that. And all the others too.--

Sincerely, ..of Perception

You're absolutely right. Had you posted about any other disorder I don't
doubt the reaction would have been different. It's both sad and disgusting.
Unfortunately, you will have to learn to take the good with the bad in a
place like this. There is an awful lot of bad to be found in Usenet.
Fortunately there is also some good. Perhaps not an equal balance, but good
all the same, people who will not treat you differently because of your
weight problem. I myself don't have a weight problem, so I don't know that
I have much advice, or can be of much help, and I can only imagine and try
to understand how difficult it must be to be in your situation, but I can
listen and be supportive. I hope you can learn to ignore as much of the bad
as possible and focus on the good, and give me and others like me a chance
to show you that not everyone is the same.

Ok, so then do tell about the skin disorder and how that limits your
life. Not all exercise has to be done outside, in college I'd workout on
machines with my textbooks on a stand in front of me inside the rec
center. I would have loved to have been outside instead but that wasn't
practical.

What did the nutritionist recommend to you? Do you need an Atkin's style
diet, a liquid diet? Do you need to potentially consider something more
dramatic such as a stomach staple?

This is a place to vent, but I'm not going to your pity party. I'm happy
to discuss things with you but if you just consider it "snotty" then
I'll just have to wish you, and your acerbic attitude a good day
