Does eating make you fat?

I think I'll scream as well. Just not seem fair at all. Of course for some karma does win out. My brothers as teenagers would grab a couple of sandwiches for snacks and they were rail thin but after they hit thirty they started to gain weight. It caught up with them eventually.

You know, my siblings including my sis were skinny when they were kids, and actually, I think I am fortunate, because even though I was a big girl in school, and have my own weight to lose, they are bigger than I am, and there were six siblings, so I guess it isn't that bad, really. two of my brothers exercise like mad, just because they are embarrassed to be bigger than their sis now. (haha!) but, I still feel fat. lol! I think they eat too much personally. I haven't really changed much from HS, I just exercise more. (this was my reality check!)

I'd like an explanation one day from my higher power about that one! If they say "metabolism" I will scream.

... actually, I do have a medical problem. (LOL) however, it is curable. COPD, is a disorder where one of the symptoms is weight gain, you grow a few chin hairs, and you start to lose the hair on top of your head, caused by cysts on your ovaries which effects approximately 5-10% of the population. however, if a doctor prescribes progesterone to you, it is curable. the sad thing is, is that you are more likely than normal to have Diabetes 2, High Blood Pressure, and something else I can't remember. Sorry I didn't mention that! I try to forget sometimes.

Thanks for the return comment

supposedly, you need a certain amount of healthy fats in your diet,I dunno. something to do with less animal fat.

I have heard that eating constantly does increase the metabolic rate. My husband seems to have a meter in him or something, where he can tell if he needs to exercise. LOL! and then he rides around on his bike for several miles, and ends up dropping the weight.I have also talked with thin women who seem to read everything on the back of packages, and one lady even told me, unless it had less than 4 grams of fat, it wasn't going into her mouth. She doesn't eat regular meals either, and stays away from the fatty ones.

yes, I am one of those people who cannot have mayo in the house, cooking oil, unless it is a low calorie spray alternative such as pam, or store brand, ABSOLUTELY NO ICECREAM, etc, etc, etc... I just recently bought a treadmill too. that way, if I skip the gym, I can't avoid the treadmill. I think I am loosing it!

LOL! well, it is definitely genetics, metabolism, sometimes environment. and of course, how much you exercise. I married a really skinny guy he consumes a pot of coffee with a great deal of sugar, and eats dinner, that is it. and when he eats, he EATS! twice a week I take him to the buffet, where he can eat anything he wants,and he is definitely a junk food addict. pizza,french fries, chicken, steak, whatever- and absolutely no vegetables. (I am a big fan of broccoli) but I have noticed he gets soooo full at dinner, that cookies, cake, etc are usually out of the question, yet, I might have a couple of cookies, or a piece of cake. nothing major. could be the processed breads I think that add to weight gain, I dunno. (LOL)
