So what. If you have some condition or disease or genetic/chemical makeup
that makes you prone to obesity it simply means you will need to work harder
than the average person who was dealt a better hand. I'm going deaf and I
have to go through more effort than you to communicate effectively in a face
to face setting. Just because I know the exact cause of my condition (which
happens to be congential) doesn't mean I should sit back and wallow in pity
over it. It's also MY responsibility to make sure I can function at work
and make the necessary accomodations, no one else's.

I know why I became supermorbidly obese. I was obese from the time I was 6
years old until I finally found a way to stop being obese. I also know that
for the rest of my life I won't be able to eat the same kinds or quantities
of foods as some of my female friends because my body wants desperately to
be fat again. Like I tell my kids and I tell my hormones - you can't always
get what you want. Doesn't matter to me if it came from my mother,
grandmother, or my 3rd cousin twice removed on my father's side. All that
matters is that I have to CHOOSE what I want and the DO what it takes to get
what I want.
