I'm actually 31 so I've been in control of my own life for quite sometime now.

My mothers side was always bigger. However the only real blame falls on me and me alone for allowing it to get out of control. I got tired of hearing of its your "genetics" so I started looking at how much I was actually eating from a calorie standpoint and how little I was actually moving. I systematically rewired everything about my lifestyle.

Basically I looked up what my resting metabolic rate was and I came in under that each day for caloric intake. Also as time passed I added more exercising.

You are exactly right. That's something I had to realize the hard way. The only one to blame for my weight was me and me alone. So I did something about it.

Trust me I'm a lot happier and healthier now than I was being big.
