ORIGINAL: LadyRainfire And weight (whether heavy or light) is genetics. . nope.. your weight is about how much food you put into your mouth and how many calories you burn from that food. The reasons that you over eat, the relationship you have with food, the attitude you have about your body may well be something that is nurtured in you... but as an intelligent self controlling adult ... your weight has nothing to do with your DNA. Scientists may well prove beyond doubt there is a gene that supresses the signal to your brain that you are full, but as an adult you can make the decision to be logical, you have eaten a meal, it was sufficient to fill you, deal with the hunger pangs.. lose the weight Until you can control and take responsibility for your relationship with food... you will always have a battle with your weight .. I am over weight because I have a relationship with food that produces a negative outcome...its comforting to eat, I grew up in family where the social focus was feeding times, feeding people is demonstrating love ..more food...more love. I eat when I am lonely, bored, frightened or upset. Now I realise this... I can stand in front of the fridge and make the decision...am I actually hungry.. or is my mind craving something that can be temporarily replaced with the feeling of a full stomach. Understanding that about myself, and accepting it,and learning to deal with it, has been one of the single most freeing things that has happened to me in my adult life.
