"big boned" "metabolism" yes "thyroid" "gall bladder" "edema" "fluid retention".
I can tell you for myself personally the gall bladder disease is hereditary in my family. My sister just had hers out. I know there are forums on this, about the association of weight gain and gall bladder disease. That means that you cannot eat just what you like when you feel like, you HAVE to go to the gym etc etc etc. If you don't you become fat. That's true, certainly for me.
We do offer excuses for being "big". But yeh I think the majority of time, fat is fat with a few minor incidents with physiological factors and genetics playing a part.
Ann from the band Heart, the lead singer, has the obesity gene that runs in her family. Her sister does not. She has battled her weight all her life, and she has had a lap band.
