Hello!
So I live with my family. And they can eat whatever they want and they never gain any weight, but I'm younger then them, just as tall, and I have to work my butt off and eat small amounts of food just to maintain! Its like I have one bit of ice cream and I gain 10lbs. I don't have any conditions, I don't take meds, and I eat healthy and exercise. Why could this be? We obviously have the same genes...
