Reply #1: Well, first of all anorexia is much more than just being thin [View All]

and second of all, you're right. To most of us losing weight IS a lot more than just eating less and exercising more. Different people have differnt metabolism and break down sugars and fats differently. Not to mention that many people self-medicate with food.

I've struggled w/ my weight all my life, and while I am overweight at present, I am now the smallest adult I have ever been and I am in the best shape of my life.

People need to work with their doctors, therapists, trainers and of course whatever support network they can find, and they have to remember that not everyone was meant to be a size 6. Sometimes your body wants to be where it wants to be and you have to accept that. We have evolved into creatures whose bodies do their damnest to maintain the status quo.

All I hope for people is for them to find their own comfort zone, and hopefully that it's a healthy one.
