  • OMG!I have just started to watch your videos and i cheated,after a couple of videos i skipped some to see what you'd look like at the end,and i have to say that you aged a lot!!Around the middle or a couple of vid after, your face was full of life and i though your were so beautiful!Now i think you are to skinny.You look like 15 years older that you really are!I am not saying that to be disrespectful,i just want to make sure that you are ok.Want to know if this is associated with big weight loss

  • ... from Ukrainian descent that means alot of fried food, heavy creams, carbs, and bread-centric meals. Yes we had veggies etc. but also alot of high cal/high fat traditional foods. Does that mean my mom is at fault for my being obese..ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Too many issues of all kinds are blamed on 'our parents'... really at what point as an adult do you stop blaming everyone else for 'your stuff'. Anyway... my opinion..which along with a quarter won't even get ya a coffee! lol

  • Fat. A 3 letter word .. don't have a problem with it it but it totally depnds on the context people use it in. Personal responsibility...absolutely. But I do believe genetics make some more predisposed to gain weight... in times of starvation we'd be the stars we are very efficient in conserving calories! I think we learn our eating likes/dislikes and eating habits as children.....

  • I also believe that there are genetic pre-disposition to carrying weight.....and since getting to know my 1/2 sister better I can see that we carry the "FAT" gene of the family.....whereas my other 1/2 sister is a skinny minny and she seems to take after her mothers side more.

  • I also take respsonsibility for my FATNESS, although I do beleive that there are factors which enabled me.......part of that was my mothers paranoia that I would become anorexic if I started dieting to early in life......I started at Jenny Craig the first time at AGE 12. My parents had bought a shop when I was 9, so free lollies, chippies etc. Are they to blame.....NO, as I was was the one who stuffed my face. TBC in next comment.

  • Part of me also can't stand the word FAT as I also grew up with the name calling etc......

  • well i think its going to be kinda mean...but i was always made fun of for being extremely fat...when i get down to my goal I'm planning on makin fun of fatter people than me

  • Never really had a problem with the word fat. I excepted the fact that I was over weight and would often joke about it. I did loose weight plenty of times and people would be like wow. hen I would gain it back. I guess the fact that I could do something about it made it more like a temporary state? So I finally did something permanent about it and here i am.

  • ...it's still there. (Sorry it's so long.)

  • Wow this was a really thought provoking posting. I used to be called fat all the time as a kid and after a while you begin to believe it. And regardless of whether you are still fat or not that pain stays with you. Just like the first time someone laughs when you answer a question wrong at school and you never want to raise your hand again or you doubt your answer even if you know it. It just stings still. We shouldn't give words that much power, but they have it and even if we rebuild our lives
