Who do you blame for your weight gain?

Do you feel that your weight gain was someone else's fault? I've heard people blame parents, people they were in a relationship with, etc. Who's fault is it that you got to the state you are and/or were in?

    I initially would blame my mother for the way she raised me, but after I became an adult it was kinda my fault.

    As much as I would like to blame companies for making such unhealthy foods, it was my fault and no one elses!

    Me. I shoved all of that food in my piehole and chose to wear a spot into the couch. It's NOBODY'S fault but mine.

    I only have myself to blame.

    But I have friends who may not blame their parents for their weight, but *I* blame their parents. I know enough about how they were raised and the things that were done to them with food and psychological abuse and such that I think their addictions to food and binge eating can be blamed on others.

    Can't blame anyone but yourself. Once you became cognizant of the how to eat proportionately, it's your responsibility to figure out how much and what you should eat. No one forces you to make your choices.

    LOL love this question!!! It's not my husbands fault; It's MY FAULT, but since we got married, I gained 25lbs! So, it's just being comfortable with who and where I am that made me gain. Now, I'm not so comfortable looking in the mirror, so I'm going to lose!

    I would like to blame the 3 children I had in 4 years, and part of it was that, but most of it is that I didn't eat right and workout and try to be healthy and lose weight. So for the most part, it's my fault. However, I'm takin it off, slowly but surely!

    My OB/GYN for removing my uterus and giving me hormonal issues???? That sounds good, but it's still my fault because I should have gotten a hold of my body changes sooner!

    I blame the government and all of their nutritional "experts" for pushing the wrong macronutrient on us. I mean c'mon they are telling us to eat more whole grains than fruits and vegetables!! Something is wrong there.

    I track carbs (get them from veggies, berries and some nuts). I track protein - sort of - and I eat unlimited fat. Had 54g of fat already today (was just curious about my typical breakfast this morning so I logged it - I usually don't).

    We see calories. The body sees fuel, not calories.

    no fault or blame on anyone, as it is not a negative experience. I purposely put on the weight for myself to be healthy, so I thank ME! :bigsmile:

    Myself...I use to eat out everyday. No one forces you to gain the weight...you take control of what goes in your mouth, unless you have a gun to your head. Social situations can play a factor but its your body. Mind over matter.
