If you were fat growing up and had fat parents, I can kinda give you a pass. If you lose weight as an adult or teen, it is because you worked hard at it to better yourself, and I hope you keep at it. If you were fat growing up and had skinny parents, there is a reason for your fatness, and that is YOU. Even if you lose the weight, you will probably gain it back. There had to be some deep and dark reason why you became so fat so young despite your parents trying to instill good habits.
