Alot of my clients have fat jeans and skinny jeans and can tell whether they are gaining or losing weight depending on which jeans they wear. But this genes thing is completely different.
In case you missed it, researchers have isolated what they believe to be a fat gene. That's right, a gene that some may carry that may make them predisposed to the chances of obesity. Pretty amazing huh.
I'm not sure how they found this gene, but have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen though. There will be thousands of people that will now claim that they can't be healthy because they have the fat gene. You know, it's a shame but God just made me this way.
Ok, newsflash for everyone: Just because you are predisposed to a condition doesn't mean you have to live it. God made us in His Image. He deeply desires for us to live whole, healthy lives. I'm pretty sure His image is not overweight, sedentary, chomping on snickers bars. So let's just be clear here. Just because there may be a gene that we carry that "could" makes us predisposed to obesity doesn't mean we have to be obese. That is a lifestyle choice.
