I would often eat my fruits and vegetables and hide my meat in the napkin. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I liked milk and juice better than soda. And I was very active as a kid. Yet I was still always somewhat pudgy, simply because stockiness runs on my mom's side of the family.I still have the same problem as an adult. I *don't* eat a lot of junk food, and usually eat decent food... yet I still can never lose weight. I get hungry every four hours, and it's much too expensive to keep enough fruits and vegetables in the house to keep my stomach from grumbling and my blood sugar out of my shoes. Usually it's the breads and cereals that are affordable and keep me full enough, yet it also piles on the sugar and calories...I'm not near as active any more, either. I'm terrible at sports, and I find doing "plain old" weight-lifting, aerobics, etc. mind-numbingly boring. I like walking when I need to go somewhere, but other than a 20-minute walk to and from work each day, I don't have enough places that are within walking distance to go to so I can get in enough regular exercise.So, *shrug*. Sometimes being obese isn't laziness or neglect or not knowing better. Sometimes it just *is*.Peace & Luv, Liz</blockquote>
