You know how you always say
I’m fat and it’s not my fault
i have big bones or i have a slow metabolism
it’s in my genes so I can’t help it.
Well you might be right after all! Yay!! Maybe I can finally tell my BF.. hey.. I can’t help it if i’m fat
go call my Mom and grandma and bitch at them if you have a problem with my fatness.
Ok back to straight facts here….
Last week scientists announced that they have discovered a gene that they say puts 1 in 6 of us at risk for being obese. The gene is called FTO. If you have this gene you have a 70% chance of being overweight.
Dang!!! 70% chance of being fat if you have the FTO gene? That’s not good odds at all. I believe I am in that 70% pool of fatties with the FTO gene.
According to this article I was just reading, the FTO gene is not the only thing that can contribute to your fatness no matter how strong your will power is.
Things like:
More fat genes
Not only do i have to worry about if i have this FTO gene that’s making me fat, scientists have discovered about 50 genes total that control stuff like how hungry you feel, how you store your fat, etc etc
Also:
Certain viruses can cause you to gain more weight than people who have never had these particular viruses.
Keeping your house too hot can cause you to get fat.
(if this is true, I’m doomed. Not only am I 100% sure I have this FTO fat gene but I live in Phoenix. It’s like 200 degrees 7 months out of the year. It’s hotter than hell most of the time and that’s not good for my fatness according to this article I’m reading)
I don’t want to write about it anymore.
Dang according to this article. Just existing on planet earth is going to make me fat.

Maybe I should start an FTO Fat Gene club ![]()
