had a debate with friends.

argument was that only certain people are naturally slim and/or skinny.

if this is the case what is the issue when the person is over weight

i know for me with a lifestyle change my weight increase because i became less active.......but when i look at pictures of myself when i was younger i was quite slim go back further i was skinny. most of my adult life i have been an ok weight and size. just recently had weight issues that i am working on

so please discuss

what is your views

are people naturally skinny and naturally fat or is their a middle road.

Slow metabolism/Genetics/Age - (combination)are the main causes of an individuals weight and size and Motherhood becomes part of that combo.

If your weight changes a lot if you were once skinny then you got heavier you are overweight. As you age your metabolism slows down and you just can't sit around and eat and drink anything you want. people are built a curtain way but if you were once small and now your big and it is not muscle gain. than I would stop eating and drinking sugar eat meat at only one meal a day and get 30 minutes of exercise daily. If you are looking for a good program try the "Jowett Institute course in health, muscle building and physical perfection."
