my sister and most of my friends are either obese or are extrememly obese and i want to know what your opinions are on it, do you believe that it is the persons own fault for being obese or do you believe that it could be genetics. My sister has always been big so I believe that it is in her genes but my friend has also been obese she comes from a family that is all obese but in my mind she wouldn't be if she would eat better and not eat all the time. She always wants sweets and eats non-stop. Do you believe that obese people can change if they put there minds to it? I do in some sense but then I look at my sister and think that there has to be something in her genetics to make her this way. Let me know your honest opinions on this subject

Well,the same to you,it cost me a lot of time to find out the relation between weight and food.Somebody once told me that if I pay more attention on enjoying the good taste and chew the delicious food slowly,in a long term,my weight will be controlled.I cann't help eating up those delicious foods as soon as possible before,now I control my appetite, enjoy the tast and the smell of the food.This is effective on me. I wondered the pursue of delicious food and some habits is genetics.But the weight is not.So,may be we change the condition through our efforts. Happy mylotting!~
