I would like to know why weight gain targets some people all over (the apple shape) or some people in their lower regions (the pear shape) and other people in the upper region (I have no fruit-comparison for that one!)?
What is it with our own bodies that causes weight to target one person all over,or another only their top or bottom half? Is this a genetic pre-disposition?
