Hi Enough,

Strangely enough, neither of my parents were overweight (Mom was 5'1 and weighed 100 lbs). I am the youngest of nine. The rest of my siblings were all normal weight until they got older. Three of my older sisters got very heavy after they hit their 30's. One is taking off weight.

Our Grandparents were average to slim but when I saw old photos of our Great Grandmother, I was surprised to see that they were both very large women... who knows.

For me, I know it's more than genetics and I have battled with food/body/emotion safety issues that I'm trying to move beyond.

Best regards,

Isis
