    I believe eating habits are hereditary in the sense that they are learned behaviors pasted down from each generation. But it can stop with you, welcome to the fight and feel free to add me as a friend.

    Welcome. Im sure genetics do have a hand in it , but that doesnt mean we have to accept it and live with it.

    Your young and thats a bonus, you can so do this. Good luck

    You will have lots of support here. Just take one day at a time and one foot in front of the other. You will have a cheat day or a day you doing do well with your workout. Don't let those days get you down. Do something about them. :) Let me know if you need anything. Feel free to add me :)
