My metabolism seems to be riding a freight train, with a big load going very slowly. I remember when I was younger I could eat a truck load of for and digest it like with ease. My body has gone through changes with age up and down with weight. My cousin and I are the same age, sex, and height. Throughout all our years of growing up he is always eating more than me but never gets fat. He is always eating and does very little exercise. I eat about a quarter of what he eats and move ten time more than he does and weigh about thirty percent more than him.
Metabolism is the term used to explain the burning of energy by the human body.
I have to keep my body moving longer to burn more calories to keep my weight down.
Attitude has a lot to do with the size of a person. It is important to let everyday problems roll off your back and be happy. Stress makes people fat. A bad mood triggers a hormone in the body that retains weight and makes people big.
The hormone is called Leptin it is in the fat cells in the body. This hormone controls the size of the fat cells depending on diet and mood.
Usually stress free people have smaller fat cells and the hormone keeps the body in balance.
The bigger I am for my size the more parts of my body get effected. My back is strained from the stomach pulling on the spine. Movement becomes limited and then arthritis comes around. My cousin is lucky because he loves food and does not gain weight. Every little morsel I consume goes straight to weight gain. Want to be healthy then I have to keep moving. My cousin on the other hand, has his feet up and snacking on whatever he likes. This is unfair but I still have to keep moving if I want to be healthy.
