INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE. I THINK THAT EXCESSIVE WEIGHT RUNS IN FAMILIES. OR PERHAPS THEY PASS IT ON BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF FOOD THEY EAT -- IT IS PASSED ON FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. I DO NOT PERSONALLY HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH EXCESSIVE WEIGHT BUT HAVE NOTICED THE TREND.

kk

SOME EXCESS WEIGHT IS CAUSED BY DIABETES, SOME IS IN PPL'S GENES AND NOTHIN WILL HELP THEM GET THE SIZE THEY WANT.
SOME IS PROVOKED BY ABUSE OR DEPRESSION

SUCH AS CHILDREN BEING TORTURED FOR NOT EATIN EVERYTHING A PARENT PUT ON A PLATE
TORTURED AS IN BEATEN WITH A PADDLE,HAND, METAL OBJECTS, ECT.

I KNO A FAMILY THAT THIS HAPPENED TO.

SOME PPL EAT B/C OF DEPRESSION, SOME SMOKE,DRINK, OR DO OTHER HARMFUL THINGS B/C OF DEPRESS.

OF COURSE!

KK

your son was lucky to get on ss very easy, my dad was lucky like that too.
ss even if it is a visable disability.

THEY MAKE IT HARD TO GET ON B/C OF PPL WHOD OR OTHERS BC OF CHOOSABLE DISABILITYS,
LIKE YRS AGO THEY USED TO GIVE SSD TO ALCOHOLICS EVEN IF THEY COULD AND WOULD WORK.

ALCOHOLISM IS A DISEASE BUT ALSO IS A CHOICE FOR SOME TOO.

I USED TO DRINK TO MASK PAIN, BASICALY THE SAME THING PAIN MEDS DO
BUT I COULDN'T GET DOCS TO HELP REDUCE MY PAIN DUE TO EITHER NO HEALTH INS. OR DOCS THAT DIDN'T CARE.

I KNOW HOW HARD AND FRUSTRATING IT IS NICK,
KEEP FIGHTING, IT USUALY TURNS OUT GOOD IN THE END FOR YOU.

I KNOW OF A HOUSEWIFE WHO HAD ONLY WORKED LESS THAN A YR OUTSIDE OF THE HOME
ABOUT 20 YRS AGO.
SHE WAS DENIED 5 TIMES AND FINALY QUIT TRYIN.
HER HUBBY HAD BEEN FIRED FROM HIS JOB DUE TO A CHANGE IN BOSSES, NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT.
IT WAS AFTER THAT THAT SHE TRIED FOR SSD.
SHE WAS DENIED B/C OF NO OUT OF HOME JOB FOR 20 YRS. AND TRYIN FOR IT AFTER DIABETES WAS AN ISSUE.
RIGHT OR WRONG? NOT MY PLACE TO SAY...

KEEP TRYING NICK DONT QUIT.



MOST OF THE WEIGHT TROUBLES IN OUR FAMILY IS DUE TO NATIONALITY WE ARW SHORT BIG BONED ITALIAN GALS.

YA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER ONE OF US HAS KIDS??

YOU LOST A FEW POUNDS ? KIDS CAN WEIGH ALOT INSIDE OF YOU WITH THE EXTRA BODY AND FLUIDS,LOL

STAR, I HAVE A LOVELY DAUGHTER IN LAW WHO IS ITALIAN AND SHE SAYS THE SAME THING. SHE HAS NEVER HAD CHILDREN OF HER OWN, BUT AFTER MIDDLE AGE, THE SPREAD BEGINS!

KK

hhmm, I'm not italian, never gave birth myself,although delivered many babies,
I DID GAIN WEIGHT NEAR MIDDLE AGE, AT THE SAME TIME OF GAININ WEIGHT WAS WHEN I MET ANGEL WHO COOKS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN CHEFS IN EXTRAVAGANT RESTARAUNTS I'VE EATEN AT I WONDER, WAS MY WEIGHT GAIN FROM THE BABIES I DELIVERED? MIDDLE AGE? OR ANGELS SUPERB MEALS?

WHEN I 1ST MET MY 1ST WIFE SHE FED ME LOADS OF FOOD CUZ I WANTED IT, I'D ACTUALY EAT A DOZEN EGGS,A LOAF OF TOAST, BACON N OTHER GOODYS FOR BREAKFAST, 2 HUGE PLATES LUNCH, DINNER 2 - 3 PLATES OF FOOD, AT NIGHT AGAIN LOADS OF FOOD, THE LOCAL MARKET LOVED MY STOMACH,LOL . I NEVER GAINED A POUND THEN.
1ST WIFE WAS A GOOD COOK WHEN SHE TRIED.

REALLY,,,THAT MUCH?? I WLD LOVE TO SEE A PIC OF YOU THEN.

MIDDLE AGE AND SIX KIDS HASNT BEEN THAT NICE TO MY HIPS/

star? u wanta see a pic of me when?

lets see a pic of your before n after hips you hippy lady,lol

OUR COWBOY WAS A GORGEOUS LITTLE BLONDE COWBOY BACK IN THE DAY. I'VE SEEN THE PIC TO PROVE IT. HE'S STILL HANDSOME AS EVER EVEN WITH THE WEIGHT. CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR A LOT OF OTHER PPL I KNOW, INCLUDING MYSELF.

BIG BONED WOMAN RUN IN MY MOM'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. THOSE GERMANS YA KNOW. BUT MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THE WEIGHT UNDER CONTROL AND WHAT THEY DID GAIN HAS BEEN WELL PACKED AND SO IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO BAD. THE LADIES ON MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY, NOW THAT'S ANOTHER STORY ENTIRELY. DIABETES GALLOPS THROUGH DAD'S FAMILY. HIS MOM HAD IT, AND ALMOST ALL OF HER TEN KIDS GOT IT AS WELL. ALL OF DAD'S SISTERS ( 8 OF THEM) GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT AFTER HAVING THEIR KIDS. I THINK OUT OF THE EIGHT THERE WERE TWO WHO WERE ABLE TO GET THE WEIGHT BACK OFF. THE REST OF THEM, AND HIS BROTHER HAVE BEEN LIKE ME, GAIN TEN POUNDS, LOSE 5, GAIN 10, AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING ON AND ON LIKE THAT. EVERY TIME I THINK I FINALLY FOUND A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM THAT WORKS, IT TURNS OUT THE SAME. I LOSE ONLY TO GAIN IT ALL BACK WITH INTEREST. I'M SO SICK OF FIGHTING AND STARVING MYSELF JUST TO MAINTAIN THE DISGUSTING AMOUNT THAT I CURRENTLY WEIGH.

THANK YOU DEB.
I NEVER REALLY FELT I LOOKED THAT GOOD
BUT ALOT OF WOMEN/GIRLS THINK THE WAY U DO.

THERE ARE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT AND STILL EAT FOODS U LIKE.

I HEAR THAT A LOT COWBOY, JUST HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT WORKS FOR ME. I HAVE GOTTEN SO DISCOURAGED WITH ALL THE FAILED ATTEMPTS THAT I'VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP TRYING. JUST TRYING TO ACCEPT MYSELF THE WAY I AM AND KEEP MY SUGAR LEVEL UNDER CONTROL. THE REST IS JUST WHAT IT IS. I'M FAT, SO WHAT. I DON'T LIKE IT BUT I'M JUST GOING TO LIVE WITH IT AND NOT GO OUT WHERE PPL CAN LOOK DOWN THEIR NOSE AT ME AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A FREAK.

I GET BITCHED AT BECAUSE I LIKE BBWS. I HEAR THAT I AM ENCOURGING A BAD LIFE STYLE. I KNOW WOMEN AND MEN WHO LIKE BEING BIG. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THEMSELVES FOR WHO THEY ARE AND DON'T WANT TO CHANGE. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE IMAGE IS EVERYTHING AND PERSONALITY MEANS NOTHING.
