CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Was it God who snatched your skinny body, or was it you through your own habits and diet?

I wouldn't say it was GODs fault Regardless as to the Cause,
I will say that GOD allows things to happen for the GOOD of those who love him,
perhaps look at it as a chance to reflect on yourself?

It doesn't make sense to me to speak of victims here. Yes there are bad habits we have inculcated, but it doesn't abnegate the responsibility to learn and grow beyond it. Thinking of oneself as a victim, especially when it comes to weight gain, is unhelpful and probably won't motivate you enough to learn to control your diet and do at least some exercise.
I speak from experience, as someone who was previously 91 KGs and am now at 72 KGs.

I suppose this is a serious post. 1200 calories a day and excercise for one year. Then strategically maintain using a scale.
Blessings.

Stop consuming processed foods and diet drinks. Avoid the starch/sugar diets reserved for famines. Unfortunately little else is sold these days and most people can't be bothered making a simple meal from scratch with simple foods. Self has been our downfall since the Garden, and the results cannot be dumped on God. We are what we eat.

I used to lift weights and run and staying in shape was very important. Now I have arthritis in my back pressing on nerves that causes pain in my left leg and I have a baker’s cyst in my right knee so exercise is out of the question now. Tell me how that is my fault?

I don't know if any of those things are your fault, whether or not they are a result of your actions or a result of biology. When it comes to working out we can always go to far and push our bodies beyond what they can naturally handle. In November 2021 I think I injured my a muscle in my chest by over doing it. Still haven't completely healed from it though it feels a lot better now. That was my fault due to my own eagerness in thinking I could take short cuts.

The physical therapist told me the problems in my back are not uncommon for a person my age. I thought lifting weights may have caused it but I know people who never lifted who have similar issues

Sucks, it sounds like it is just an issue with your body then. I don't think you are to blame for that, but do you consider yourself a victim of your body then? I'm kind of confused by your initial comment to me.

Yes. It is bad/frustrating. Some is/can be biology. Most is what you eat and how much exercise you do - calories in vs calories out. But that isn't very helpful. Some things to try. Do avoid sugar in any form as much as possible. High fructose corn syrup is one of the worse, and its everywhere - breakfast jams, ketchup, etc. Avoid the "whites" - sugar, salt, flour - to the extent possible. You can do without salt on many things and not miss it, especially if you use herbs.
Improve your gut microflora - gut biome? - by eating sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, relish, other "rotted" vegetables. Take a probiotic.
Do walk as much as possible. Use weights - as little as 2 pounds per arm, and move them around for say, 15 minutes a day. Doesn't take much as the body seems to react per a scientific study. Suggestions.

Excellent advice!! I agree 100% and the trick long term is to keep the good eating habits as described and keep exercising, it is a lifetime commitment a bit hard initially ( sugar is very addictive) but the health benefits are certain.
Blessings,
