i was skinny before
I quickly gained a lot of weight after I turned 30. It was most likely due to genetic predisposition as both my parents were heavyset. Like someone having a full head of hair until a certain age and then quickly going bald due to genetics. Although you might want to have it checked out by a doctor. The weight gain could be due to a thyroid issue or whatever.

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.
I could consider myself a victim but my new job requires a lot of walking so I just have to suck it up and do it. I have hypothyroidism too so that doesn’t help.

Can you imagine why god have you in those conditions
I am 59 years old and those problems come with age. He gives me the ability to still be able to do my job and I thank him for that

Research is finding much of "problems come with age" are not inevitable. At 59 you may live to see some real strides in prolonging life span/quality of life. But need to take care of yourself based on current understanding of nutrition. And some of what we think is best will not be so. But can only do what we can.

Be careful who you blame! Jer 23:38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
If you blame GOD for burdens HE did not cause HE will send you one. Jer 23:40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

That's still not God’s fault
My problems are not God’s fault but sometimes I wonder why he allows it knowing I have to walk for hours at a time at my job. But I pray and I always get through it so far.

I suggest you read about insulin resistance. Endocrinologists appear to be on board suggesting that insulin resistance is the root cause of several chronic conditions, including some mental/cognitive issues. So, as I said above, reducing/eliminating sugar to the extent possible is a good/necessary first step. I would look at sugar as a hazardous material after age 30, and perhaps before.

Well the walking should help? Depends what other issues you have. But we all have to live in our earthly tents in this life.

Sorry - I just realised who I responded to. I didn't mean to seem unsympathetic. The OP never elaborated on their condition other than they "use to be skinny". I understand your predicament, but it's as you say, part of the aging process.

Obesity started going up when new nutritional guidelines were published:

obesity_charts_vox_01.0.jpg


Chart source: Obesity in America 2018: 7 charts that explain why it’s so easy to gain weight - Vox

Based on the guidelines, the food companies played the label game. This has been a disaster.

Solution: Eat like it is 1800. No eating out. No seed oils. No processed foods. Or at least try to minimize.

More source data: Weight Loss News.

Yes, and excessive shots and excessive medicine given from birth on, increased every year since about the fifties, eh ?
My father was a doctor. Back then they did prescribe addictive drugs the way they do now.

First, did you mean back then the DID NOT prescibe addictive drugs the way they do now ?
Second, back then, remember when doctors, licensed ama doctors in practice, were allowed , or at least not forbidden, to heal people ?
Doctors can do what they want because half the people would not be alive if it were not for them. We can see this in some third world countries today.

some can find it funny but being fat without probability of lose weight is not funny
Who said it was funny?
People are just questioning why you are blaming God for taking something from you, when it MAY be partly down to your own choices, diet etc.
Doctors, generally, encourage people to lose weight. So if this is a problem for you, have a chat with your doctor and find out what they suggest.

How do I know who made what?
why do you blame me
I'm not blaming you for anything.
I said that it MAY be down to your own choices, or lifestyle. You said that God snatched a skinny body from you and now you are fat.
I don't know if you are are not, or how fat "fat" is.
But God did not snatch anything from you. He does not make us fat, make us lose our hair or anything else that you have posted about in the past.
Either something made you fatter than you were - medication, illness, lack of exercise - or someone did. And IF you getting fat was through eating food, then YOU were the one who ate it.
for you are used to saying God does nothing
I haven't a clue why you would say that I am "used to saying that God does nothing". I don't think I have ever said that.
Or course God does things - he heals, he saves, he answers prayer, he inspires, guides etc etc.

god doesn't not do anything like that in my life and it's not my fault
It's not about fault.
You can ask him for guidance, pray for healing, ask to be filled with his Spirit, ask him to inspire you - as you read the Bible, for example - and ask for help in your daily life.
God has promised to guide us, fill us with his Spirit and be with us always. Jesus said that his sheep listen to his voice.
If you don't ask, or listen to him; if you can't believe, and don't want to ask for help - whose responsibility is that?
