Exactly! I haven't seen you so this is not about you personally, just a general thought: many people assume that overweight people eat crap all the time, but this doesn't have to be true. Yes, of course we have sinned sometime in our lives and overeaten. But few slim people know that with each diet your metabolism gets slower and you lose muscle mass, not just fat. And with loss of muscle your metablism slows down again. If I tell you that I eat 1600-1800 calories a day on average (on some weekend days it may be about 2100, I admit, but not more) and I am 20kg overweight no one believes me and says I lie or that I don't count occasional snacks or assumes I surely drink sweet sodas which is not true at all. When I try to explain I get this "yeah, sure" kind of look which stabs me in the heart.
