Genetic Limits
When I ate better, I tried to excercise to lose weight and found it hard to maintain my body shape, my parents both are overweight this gives me high chance of staying overweight- I started eating better, excercise and my body has its limit, I could not be as thin as I had hoped for.

I think it is normative event that I am going through but as an individual the non normative event would be the communication barrier that I lacked growing up, although today it seems more common. -
