    The "finish your plate" mentality is definitely the top contributor to my weight gain growing up. It's still ingrained in my brain to the point where I have to physically tell myself sometimes that I've eaten enough.
    It's really tragic too because that mentality started out of necessity. There were many times when we didn't know how long we'd go without food. Sometimes it was only 1500 calories worth of food over the span of 3 days. When we finally got food stamps or our parents got a bonus at work or tax season, we'd binge
    Super unhealthy habits that I'm fighting like hell not to have my son experience poverty or obesity

      Yeah that was a part of my childhood too. I can still hear my mother saying, “you’re not getting up from that table until you finish your food “. I remember one particular time when I sat at the kitchen table for 3 hours because I didn’t want to eat my green peas ( I hated them 🤮🤮). The clean plate club has done me in. I’m 300 pounds now getting ready to seriously start working on losing at least 10% of my weight to start. I’m in constant pain, having trouble going up and down the stairs, have arthritis in my knees, and heels spurs on my feet 👣. I know that losing weight will help with all the aches and pains. That’s why if you have kids don’t force them to eat everything on their plate. We naturally have it in us to know when we are full. But when you push beyond that boundary, then it becomes gluttonous.

    Asmon reviewed this and since I live in TX I have to say - the summers are hard here and even harder in a town like McAllen. There are summers where the lows are 95F and that's kind of rough even if you are use to it. One thing you ignored that these people have in common with southerners and people who grew up in poor regions is the idea that you have to clean your plate. You are rather young, but GenX and older (maybe some millenials) were told that you have to eat everything on your plate which just leads to over eating. I've since learned that children in China won't be affected by me not eating everything in one sitting. Many families still live like food is very scarce even though they can go to any fast food place in a matter of minutes.

    For me it was getting to ride a roller coaster again. I spent my entire youth looking forward to the yearly trip to Kings Island. Lost my parents, got depressed; ate my problems away. Decided on a whim to go again, couldn't ride a single one, not a single fucking ride. Was devastated and embarrassed, lost the weight; rode one and it clicked. It was all worth it and have changed my entire lifestyle, eat only for energy go do things that get me moving as my hobbies like cycling, kayaking, hiking.

    I was 328 lbs. I started changing my diet (higher protein, less carbs), working on portion control and going on simple walks everyday. I’m down 30 lbs in 10 weeks and feel great. After so many health issues, I needed to stop. A trip to the ER because of chest pain due to insanely high blood pressure, I knew I needed to do something. I’m 34 with 2 very young daughters and I want to be able to see them grow up and have families of their own. I don’t want to die at 50 because I have no will power. Going to keep pressing on and losing the weight.

      Man, i rarely watch what I eat but I never gain weight. I have lots of muscle and tone and at times ate everything in sight and didn't gain an ounce
      I never thought about what set me apart from people who get obese and myself, i just eat and eat...and I think 85% of it is I hardly ever eat fried or deep fried things. 90% of what I eat is home cooked by family or me, and here we bake it or pan fry it, maybe with a tiny smear of oil for 1 dish. Lots of soups, beans, roasted and raw veggies.
      I eat a lot of cheese, but the kinds I eat I looked up and it's not as high calorie as you'd think.
      The worst things I regularly eat are probably box cereal and milk chocolate. Otherwise an average day is bananas, oranges, raw veggies, wheat bread and homemade jams (still sugar but not a lot of preservatives), raw veggies (love carrots, cucumbers and peas), cheese (least commonly cream cheese) and leftovers, which will mainly be homemade low sodium soups, spiced ground beef dishes, pastas, "Americanized" Mexican (we skip the lard), and for the past 20 yrs my mom automatically cuts half the sugar out of every single dessert item we make from the recipe (except jams). And it's all still plenty sweet.
      It's sad, because when I travel I eat out and never think twice about what I eat, go homeand there's no ill effect. I rarely go out, I never go or feel hungry, and we try all kinds of spices, dishes, exotic (to our area) vegetables and treats and combinations. AND we save money.
      People could still enjoy themselves in spades without destroying themselves.
      I'll have to thank my mom again for the food culture she built in our house. I didn't realize til recently the difference it made

    My grandmother (Mexican abuelita) lived to 108 - she was poor by US standards and lived on a small self sustaining farm in Jerez, Zacatecas. Her Mexican food (all traditional, handmade, and organic) was nothing like the stuff in these restaurants. Lots of honey, soups, beans, real tortillas, free range eggs and fresh milk - real cheese. They didn’t eat tacos nonstop. She also exercised naturally caring for kids and animals and was never overweight even after 12 kids. We could learn a lot from the people that lived like that. The infiltration of Walmart, Cheetos, coke, fast food, tacos and cheese and sour cream covered huge plates of food has caused a lot of health problems in Mexico.

      It’s a revolving cycle of the US system not wanting you to be healthy. Fat lazy citizens aren’t bothered to fight against the government. So too, you”re at risk for poor health which funds the healthcare system which funds employers insurance rates. Poor health factors into a lower mortality rate not living to see retirement. In return, pensions, retirement funds aren’t paid out by employers and goes into god only knows where. The same companies that own the healthcare systems are the same ones funding preservatives and fast food industries. Almost everything is one way or another lab influenced in the US food industry and that’s the problem.

Fast food is uncommon, plenty of safe roads to bicycle and walk along...I can walk to the market, post office, etc from my house....when I was living down south, and in san Antonio years ago, the entire suburbs outside downtown were just car centered subdivisions where you really couldn't walk or bike safely, if at all. The roads just were not set up for it. You were forced to drive to get place to place as nothing was really centralized, either.

I wasn't able to go to work either cause everything was closed and even though I got out of the situation alright, I realize it was an easy time for people to fall into depression and extremely unhealthy habits. I am so glad that he took action and is going for it 100%.

The doctor has helped thousands of people and has decades of experience working with obese people. He only recommends the surgery when he thinks its your best chance of surviving, and routinely recommends therapy instead of surgery when he thinks that's the better option. Losing hundreds of pounds at 700 is easy, yet Mark still took longer than normal to do so. He only made it through the easy part and thought that makes him an expert.

Unlike most people, I actually use my equipment regularly. My neighbor's could see and hear me working our every other day. I invited them to use my equipment. Only two actually did, and both quit in less than a minute, both were women. A male neighbor quit without even trying. I've had a few friends reach that lose weight or die point. Every single one of them choose death over exercise and diet. One has actually died, another can't even get out of bed by himself to go to the bathroom, he is under 65. Oh, despite trying to encourage dozens of people to exercise, I've had a zero percent success rate. I know it's not me because at my rec center, I actually ran an exercise class when the coach couldn't make it, and I always got compliments, no complaints.

It is the same way with addiction in western or free democratic countries where people value freedom and privacy so much no one checks up on one another.

      I don't even get how that was "pathetic". You're telling me the mall guard should walk when they were using a stroll?

    Thank you so much for this. I have a friend that I just sent this to. She is a lovely, young, hard working Mexican girl. She is so obese that it frightens me for her. She is 27 and I'm 69 and yes we are friends. She's like a daughter to me and I love her.
