The weight gain started when I was less active, less out doorsey, some sad things happened in life, I got hurt and it did a number on my outlook/happiness/motivation/basically I wasn't myself at all, I shut down.
I don’t have animosity and I wouldn’t call it jealousy, but there is some envy towards thin girls... I'll find myself staring at a cute out lil fit on someone that I may have, but no longer fit in too, and I think "why the hell didnt I get proactive/my head strait the very moment I no longer could fit in that", "was it really so bad that I just gave up?" "I must have really hated myself or something, too let my weight get to a place where it would make me so unhappy".
...deep down I know it is a choice.
Regardless of what med's they are on, mental illness they may have (depression ect) their food budget, trauma, body structures, living situation, how they were raised, habits blah blah blah... its common knowledge what foods are healthy , to stop eating before your full, and tons a free dieting help is available...it all comes down to choice and realizing that they deserve to be treated good, even by themselves.
Maybe thats why there seems to be more encouragement for those of us that are actually making changes to lose weight, maybe others realize that, yah its hard, but not just cuz a food changes, cuz a the whole new productive/ healing mind set.
Maybe others realize that a person trying to lose weight has just found a new scense of hope/respect for themselves and that it must be nourished in order to progress. IMO
