as per my last post, this also applies to anerexia,where they see themselves as fat,this is often put down to self denial, but really is a medical condition.

same can be said for alcoholics,im sure if asked ,most would say they are not,is this self denial or a medical condition?most would say alcoholiciasm is medical.

But still body fat comes from what is eaten.

yes ,i agree with that, just wanted to make the point that no all people who are obese just eat too much, there are are underlying medical problems that need addressing, and that you cant just say you need to eat less.

But


If the fat on a persons body does not come from
the food they eat where does it come
from?




I've explained earlier being large isn't always about
over eating, and I'll explain it to you. I have an
endochrine disorder
which means my body stores onto every scrap of
food I eat and converts it into fat. I don't eat fatty
foods, I'm a strict vegetarian, I rarely drink, I don't
drink fizzy drinks etc and I exercise every day, eat
eight portions of fruit and veg a day (as
recommended by a nuitritionist) but I'm still a large
person because of my condition. If I eat less the
problem becomes even worse as my body goes into
starvation mode and clings onto food even more, so
I have to do all I can to strike a balance. However, I've
been put on a new medication within the last seven
days which will counteract it.
I know I've said all of this before, but it was earlier in
the thread and this comment needed addressing
again.


There are people who have compulsive eating
disorders, links missing in their brain which tell
them when they are full, as well as people with
psychological problems which result in over eating
the same way as they can result in anorexia.

[QUOTE=Taint]

At 17 I was a skeletal painfully thin person, because of peoples nasty comments about my build.  But yet I still weighed 10 stone, and still wore a size 12.  My mother could not understand how someone so skinny weighed this much.  She also said I looked ill, pale and drawn, I had no energy, and slept for hours on end.

I would also like to add that clothes sizes are totally wrong anyway.  All my children wear clothes that are 2-3 years ahead of their current age.  They are all of average build and height -  I have a special care child.  She was forever way below the runt line in all the medical books, and only when she had her heart operation did she over a 14 month period become an "average" child.  She now wears 12-13 year old clothing for her age of 10.  This is for no other reason that for height and build.  She is a bag of bones.

 

 

I wish the clothes manufactors would try and get it right, I have clothes size 10,12 and 14, yet I still weigh roughly the same all year round, and yet go to one shop and try a 10, and cant get it buttoned up, try the 12 still tight, then the 14 slightly too big, go into another shop and the 10 fits perfectly, weird or what
