[QUOTE="fene48, post: 1212349, member: 245388"] I think that there are some (very few people) who really have medical problems and therefore reasons for their weight gain/loss. The rest of us, like me, could have made choices to live with the limits/restrictions that genes etc have placed on us. At the end of the day its no use blaming doctors, science, research etc for giving us 'wrong' information or instruction as it only embitters and encourages the 'victim mentality'. Some of us were born short, others tall, some plain and others like me - just darned good looking. Life is like a poker game - you can only play the cards that you are dealt and hope that you get some breaks along the way. All my friends who complain about not being able to lose weight suffer from the same common symptom - energy in does not get used up, but stored. It was the threat of insulin that woke [B]me[/B] up. No, life is not fair! My wife who lost 20kgs (is160cms tall and 54 kg) can only eat a third what I can. Her attitude is - "stiff cheddar, that's how it is". I find that attitude inspiring. [/QUOTE]
