]]> Comment on Frustrated! by Dr. J http://chubbygirldiary.com/blog/2012/02/13/frustrated/comment-page-1/#comment-6792 Dr. J Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:56:42 +0000 http://chubbygirldiary.com/?p=1305#comment-6792 The odds are 99.9 percent that you are NOT being accurate with your calorie tracking. All the data shows that people under-estimate calorie intake. The easiest way for you, if there is such a thing as easy in this, is to eat whole healthy foods so you have volume to satisfy you since you must decrease your calorie intake. I can't write a whole "how to do it here," but the odds are you really need to re-learn and retrain yourself to eat properly. Otherwise, save your money and get the surgery. Insurance be damed. Talk to doctors in your local hospital, sometimes there is a surgical residency and appeal to them for help. That's the best I can do. Good luck, Kellie.

You could be retaining fluid or not tracked properly but if you do the math that means you had to have consumed 21K extra calories which is a lot. My suggestion is to just keep on tracking and drinking lots of fluids and it will go down. Hang in there! There are SO many factors that come in to play here.

The world is a much different place. Who is to say that the obesity problem wouldn't have come much sooner if we would have had the kind of technology back then, that we have today? For sure Dr. J!

I think that we all kind of have the mindset that we must eat more. Even my kids have the "eyes bigger than their stomachs" issue. It's an overindulgence thing. But I think it is more prominent in our culture because we haven't had to struggle too much. Fast food, processed food and inactivity are huge factors of childhood obesity. Thank you so much for your comment! :) Absolutely, Hannah! I think that we all kind of have the mindset that we must eat more. Even my kids have the “eyes bigger than their stomachs” issue.

The world is different from when we were "normal" kids. All of these obesogenic factors play a role. In my opinion, it's 90% environmental and 10% genetic.

I think kids spending more time indoors is not necessarily due to safety issues; that's not the most significant reason anyway, though it is easier to keep an eye on them whilst they're inside, especially in the society we live in today. We also live in a generation of computer games and video games. Most children will prefer to sit inside and play on the Xbox or Playstation than going outside. They don't even have to go and see their friends - they can talk to them through the computer. Maybe this is due to a lack of education on the parent's part. Children are probably unaware of the amount of fun they can have outside! I can't really talk, I was one of these children! I wish my parents would have forced me outside sometimes! But I will learn from my mistakes. When I have children, like you, I will encourage them to do lots of different activities. I will join in! Parents definitely have a responsibility to educate children on healthy eating etc too. I'm not trying to place blame but my whole family are big people. My dad has always given us huge platefuls for dinner and made us eat the whole thing so as not to waste it! We have grown up thinking we have to eat everything we put in front of us and it's a very hard habit to break! I think it’s such a big problem nowadays.
