I always tend to think that some people just dont have the WILL or self respect to make changes that could better themselves, i can never understand how somebody can just on a whim decide that today b/c someody brought over a cupcake that they were gonna fall off the wagon and go apes hit on the calories.
Thanks for the reply, speaking out and hearing peoples comments helps me to better come to terms with things in my life, i appreciate that |
I am glad my post was able to help you understand some. I cant speak for anyone else but for me yes I knew I was gaining but I really didnt think that my calorie intake was that high.
I am one of the ones that have been heavy my whole life. And when the babies started coming boy oh boy so did the weight. And its like my body liked the higher weights and not the lower ones. With childhood trama the more I weighed the less some people talked to me ect. And it was like a switch that went off in my head without my knowing it. And I the next thing I knew I was well over 400 lbs and on oxygen and having a ton of health problems and I had 4 small kids at home. I was afraid I wasnt going to be able to watch them grow up much less see any grandchildren.
When your that big its not that you sit and do nothing it you cant do anything. All that fat is crushing your heart and your lungs.
And I happen to come from a large family of fat people. My fathers top weight was real close to 600 lbs.
And to be honest if I counted calories I would not have made it as far as I have. I cant eat 1100 or 1200 calories and lose.
I cant even eat 4 or 5 small meals a day. But with a lot of hard work I did find the key for me ( Thanks to God and determination ).
I also must say that I missed judged you also I thought you were just being a jerk and I am sorry. I am glad I postd as well now I know that your not just some jerk and you might have a little more insite to how its possible for people to become so fat.
