Dieting slows the metabolism, and causes weight gain. Her doctor should be trying to make her as healthy as possible at the weight she is at. Eating healthy is fine. but dieting will not accomplish anything. Diets do not work, whether it is for looks, or health.

Fat cells actually encourages the production of estrogen. So, as a man gains fat, he has more estrogen, and the weight he gains takes on a feminine shape, nipples, and other feminine traits.

These studies are not based on anyone's size. They are based on the number of gyms per capita, the number of fast food restaurants per capita, and other nonsense. For example, a number of fast foods may be on turnpikes to serve out of state people. The gyms don't take into account how many people use them. I don't think you can assume that only thin people use gyms, and only fat people eat fast food.

Feabie is great if you want to be flooded by dudes sending you variations of "hey" "hi" about 6 times

Feabie has a button on each profile labeled "send a flirt." This sends a Hi if you click it. I get some of these as a male. And it usually ends with a request for money. (despite my profile saying I do not send money.)

If a topic is still relevant, what is wrong with answering it? Another option is to start a new thread.

There is guarantee that you can stop gaining. I know of one average-sized woman who planned to gain 50 pounds and stop. She's now around 600 pounds.

Parents forcing their children to do something, or not do something is a sure way to get the opposite as soon as they leave home. I knew an adult who spent every Saturday morning watching cartoons because she was not allowed to watch them as a child.

Time for an automatic. Manuals are not very common anymore. I'm 74, and have never driven one.

She doesn't want to gain. You either need to accept this, or break up.

That is what stretchy clothes, muumuus, and tunic tops are for. Also try maternity clothes, until your arms and legs are too fat to fit.
