Who made you become overweight?

Ultimately I made me fat, but I did have a very difficult first marriage (daily violence) and I never had any money; I used to get £11.08 a week Child Benefit and I spent that on my baby, but I ate whatever I could pinch from shops or if I walked for an hour to my mum's I would have dinner with them, I never told Mum what was going on, so she can't be blamed for not rescuing me and my daughter.....

Due to my experiences in my first marriage I had developed a habit of secret eating, stuffing myself silly whenever I got the chance and no one was about; I finally faced my demons in November 2012 and told my family the truth and confessed that I was a secret eater, from that moment on I have gradually stopped secret eating and my ticker is proof of how far I have come since then....

I didn't need to secret eat once I split up from my first husband (in July 1998) but it took me until November 2012 to actually realise this....

Unfortunately me. Once I got married I compared my eating with my husband instead of with my girlfriends, and he can eat way more calories than I can. I've had plenty of time to fix this, but haven't.

At first my parents. I remember as a child being picked up from preschool on Fridays and going to McDonalds right after our errands were done. We have always had pizza or subs on Fridays (still true to this day), but my mom cooked Saturday-Wednesday (Thursday was her bowling night and we were left to frozen dinners). Mornings, however, were a different story. Breakfast during the week was either cereal or Pop-Tarts, Saturdays were donuts, and Sunday was our treat of a homemade breakfast (or sometimes more donuts). I was never very active as a kid due to muscular problems in my leg, so it started adding up.

But now? The blame is all on me. I ate more and moved less.
