The Role Of Genetics
We would all like to blame genetics for our problems with weight loss and otherwise. I would sometimes for the fact that I am not skinny without ever dieting and exercising like so many I see in the public spotlight seem to be. I blame it for my larger bone structure, which is actually valid, and which changes my definition of a healthy weight in general. I do all this basically because I can. But at the same point in time, genetics can only be put to so much blame. To some degree, you actually have to take the responsibility of accepting that you might be in part to blame for your own obesity. After all, most Americans are of European descent, and quite frankly most Europeans are not actually obese. They essentially have the same genetics as you, and if you’re African or Asian, well you obviously really can’t say that to an even greater degree. Some of us have to exercise and diet more than others, some of us are just gifted, and I for one hate those people. But I know at least one who I throw a book at every time she complains about being underweight. I do this, because not only are the genetics really good obviously. But then she goes out and runs like a mad woman. So in short, while we all wish we were as lucky as her, she still exercises, she still diets though I don’t know why sometimes. So you really can’t expect everything to just be handed to you on a silver platter. There is a responsibility factor.
