Genetics do play a big part, but I am not motivated enough to spend every waking minute exercising.

The problem is, people starve themselves and work out all the time because they get so hurt when someone calls them fat. Then they feel like they are better than someone else because they spent every waking minute trying to lose weight.

Same with social aspects. Someone may have all the money in the world but look at social interactions. Whats more important? Having the cash and no one to share/ do things with, or having a little cash but having quality friends around to spend the time with? Bought friends are not real friends.

I don't add up to casey at all. He has his own house at 20, and a really good job.

But for what I have been through I think I am doing ok
You just admitted you eat one meal a day. No food equals no metabolism which means lack of energy, can't remain healthy, and can't lose weight.

Unless you were born with a metabolic disease then the only thing that may be hereditary is how many calories you burn while you sleep, or basal metabolic rate, which you can change by exercising and eating at the right times.

Eating 5 small snacks a day is far healthier than one meal.
