I'm one of those "fat by choice" people....
Obesity is always caused by lifestyle choices. There may be other medical factors that affect metabolic rate, but a slow metabolic rate doesn't cause obesity. Over eating is what causes obesity.
It is over eating that is at the heart of all obesity.
You can be active and eat healthily and not lose weight, but you can't be active, eat properly and gain weight to the point of obesity. When you say "eat healthy" it means eat only enough to fulfill your body's caloric needs. To lose weight you'd have to consume less calories than your body burns.In many (probably most) cases this is correct. But there are medical conditions which can cause it also. There are some people who eat healthy and are active, yet are still overweight, under a doctor's care and still do not loose weight. Weight gain is a side effect of many medications too.
A final word: Very, VERY few people look as good in full scuba gear as the models in the adds do. And most divers are the type of people who are out to have fun, not "look good", and could care less how other divers look.
So go have fun!
Best wishes.
