I don't know...I guess the same reason it's so hard to make money but so easy to spend...like just isn't fair!!!

Well once your body makes extra fat cells, they NEVER disappear. You can lose weight and lose the fat from the cells, but they are always there waiting to store the fat again. I think that is why it is easier to gain weight than it is to lose it.

Because it takes a LOT more time (and effort!) to burn the calories in a McDonalds Big Mac and Super-Size fries (1100 calories, 56 grams of fat, by the way) than to eat it.

I think of what I used to scarf down in 5 or 10 minutes- a jumbo sized bag of gummy worms- and now I finally realize that to burn that off, it would take a couple HOURS on the treadmill. And to think that it was just an in-between meal snack!! WOW! :)

True about the fat cells. Also true about how quick it is to eat something bad for us that's high in calories, compared to the time and effort it takes to create a deficit of calories to energy burned. Hang in there, nothing is easy that's for sure! But what an accomplishment when we do lose weight!! I think losing weight is one of the hardest things to do, but is so possible. I often times say to myself, if "they" can do it, so can I!!! (usually when I look at before and after pics and articles.

VERY INTRESTING EVERBODY,MADE ME THINK HOW KNOWING THE INSIDE OF OUR BODY HELP'S THE OUTSIDE OF OUR APPERENCE.

I have a "fear" of being fat again, but I struggle to keep it off.
I guess food just tastes too good?
That there is always a reason to celebrate?
I wish I could lose the last 10 overnight, or in a week but then it will just come back.
Good luck to all in the "struggle" hope everyone is good.

I'm not so sure it is with me, I put on a stone in 9 months of disgraceful eating, and I've now lost that stone with healthy eating and VERY hard work down the gym, in about 10 weeks. Think how long you have been dieting for and then think how long it took to put the excess weight on in the first place

yeah and why is it that when i work my ass off all week i only loose a couple of pounds but all it takes is one horrible meal to put it back on!!!!!!!!!!! or at least make the scale change in a horrible way.

OK, fat cell question??? If you have lipo suck them out, are they gone, gone? (not that I want to, just curious)

yes,lipo is the ONLY way to completely remove the fat cells. So all of us who lose the weight still have empty fat cells sitting around, even though they are not full or in use.
