We have all gained weight rapidly and thats why we have the stretch marks.
But is it our fault? or just our responsibility to change?

This next statement is probably and emotional charged issue, but

What if, our weight problem is not our fault?

Dr Atkins doesn't think so. He says it's a metabolic problem our bodies have.

I didn't choose to be this big. I have not done anything so heinous that the mystical forces are now punishing me.

My body is reacting to the normal diet my skinny friends have also been fed.

As a result of my weight I have a greater caloric need - yet I eat the same or less than my skinny friends. Because of my weight I have limited mobility and can burn less energy.

MY point - which is only my opinion is:

Stress Marks are a reminder of our suffering, not our monstrous deeds.
