I became fat in childhood, between a relatively sedentary lifestyle that grew more sedentary as I grew older and my family being (relatively) poor and processed, high carbohydrate foods it was inevitable.
I'm still fat in my mid-thirties, but I eat much more healthily, eating almost no processed foods, eating a lot more veggies and more varied veggies, and less carbs. I still eat an unhealthy amount of sugars, but less than in my teens and early twenties.
Heart problems, strokes, back and joint issues all run in the family. Hell, my brother has to take meds for high blood pressure and has joint and back problems, all for years and years and he's only three years older than me My mom got arthritis early on in life, as did her mother who died of a stroke, her dad died of, I believe, a heart attack. My dad has minor heart issues that don't require meds, just exercise, and mild osteporosis, his dad died of a stroke and his mom of the same.
Yet somehow I, the tallest and heaviest person in the family, has not a single health issue. Every time I've had a health checkup my blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood tests all come out as near perfect, and I don't have any joint or back problems. Somehow.
My best friend, who is just one year older than me, is of average height and has a healthy weight, and has gotten more exercise throughout his childhood than I did, though much less in adulthood as well as eating less healthily, and somehow he has a lot of joint issues, knees, back, hips, and shoulders, as well as becoming diabetic in the last year.
How the F am I somehow one of the healthiest people I know? Everyone else seems to be falling to pieces and somehow I just keep on ticking. The only health issue I've had was when I gained way, way , way too much weight and my ankles started getting overstressed and hurting sometimes, after which I cut down on sugars and other carbs and lost about 100 pounds, which fixed the problem.
Still fat as fuck though. Not that I look as fat as I am, being tall with proportionate limbs has its advantages. (People guessing my weight and being 100 pounds under isn't unusual.)
