Why are you fat?

y question is the same as the Subject,
"Why are you fat?"

For me, I've always been a little overweight. Until I got pregnant, I was 160 and 5'5 for quite a few years. I was a little self-conscious but looking back at the pictures I don't know why. A few weeks ago I was 171 and now I'm 177.
I got fat during my pregnancy and a week after I had her, I had already lost 25 pounds. 17 pounds is a lot of fat & I never realized how much.
Oh .. & I love food and will eat anything in site.. haha.

So.. Why are you fat?

    I wish I had a magical excuse that made it not my fault buuuuut...it's really just because I like to eat and I like high calorie foods.

    Always been fat. Fat baby, fat toddler, fat child, fat teen, fat adult. Of course i got bigger as I grew up... both naturally bigger and vertically bigger? My eating was definitely a problem... that and i didn't really exercise. I would eat 1, maybe 2, meals a day that were probably around the 4000 calorie range just themselves. :P while working or going to school. I also say i have a few medical issues that have always kept me big lol
  • I'm not fat anymore.........but I was fat because my illness made me unhappy, and i used candy and snacks to make myself feel happy.

    Was always small/average in high school. Met my husband 6 years ago and put on a little "romance weight" from all the wine&dining. I became pregnant earlier this year and unfortunately miscarried and just sunk into a depression eating everything I could get my hands on. I'm now back and ready to make a change for when we try for a baby next year. Needing all the support and friends I can get! I've got a min. of 50 lbs to lose
  • Food, complacency / resigned to the fact that its a family body and babies :indifferent:

    I was always overweight even as a child and poor life style choices continued. Then, got PCOS/insulin resistance, which went un- diagnosed for many years and subsequently failed many diets.

    Finally getting my health under control.

    I enjoyed college and not working out and playing sports like I used to. THen I got into drinking lots of beer and eating a lot. Then I got even more lazier and stopped working out completely.

    I am not now...as I eat at a level in line with my activity.

    I was before because I ate too much for my level of activity.

    Sunk into a horrible depression after my break-up (engagement) and foreclosure (because of the break-up) - used food as a comfort...very difficult habit to break.

    Had a sucky childhood. Ate to not feel. Hard to disconnect from that when it starts that early. But I'm changing it now.
