I’m so skinny I can’t wrap my head around being fat

Anonymous·8mo

I stay skinny without trying. 
I eat when I want and my weight barely moves. So I genuinely do not understand how people end up overweight. Not judging, just confused about the mechanics. How much of it is genetics versus habits? Trying to understand what daily life looks like on the other side.

The same way you stay skinny without even trying some people stay fat without even trying. Some people can't even imagine staying skinny without trying. Some are active 10 hrs a day, work out a lot, eat nothing but healthy stuff in moderation, and still stay fat.

It can be a thyroid thing, it can be a gut microbiome thing, and how much genetics play a role I don't know.

Did you know that getting lots of antibiotics as a kid can ruin your gut microbiome for the rest of your life?

True

I’m fat ngl, and I have fat parents.
I don’t eat much, but I can’t lose weight.
Habits can’t beat genes.

I understand. It's probably pretty difficult to lose weight at your age gramps. Have you tried swimming/water aerobics? I hear that's pretty good for old folks.
