Pregnancies put the weight on, but my portion sizes kept it on!!
I have been eating the same size dinners as my husband for nearly 5 yrs now because "I need the energy to look after the twins' or "because I'm breastfeeding" "because running around after 4 kids takes a lot of energy!".......excuses that have kept me 10kgs heavier then I need to be.0 -
But OP, it says it's made with REAL FRUIT... That's health food!!!
I thin my biggest contributor was eating from boredom. I love cooking and baking, baking breads, cookies, etc. And, more to the point, eating those things! And washing them down with soda.
Like someone else said, though, gluttony & sloth.0 -

Partying in college, then goin out to eat when the bars closed or the party ended. Basically a complete extra meal (or worse) 2-3x a week on top of the regular 3 meals I was already eating that day
Probly gained 1lb a week that way. 9-10 months of college, 45-50lbs I'd say.
I was always a bit overweight, but that did me in for sure.0 -

Eating my emotions - from happy to depressed, & everything in between. A lot of it was also being a product of my environment. My mom had eating issues & since I spent the most time with her, I picked up on that as a child. While I was overweight in high school, most of my weight gain was after I graduated. I also had the misfortune of thinking I was so fat as a child/teen that I didn't realize how fat I was getting after high school, if that makes sense. When I was 19, I got a job where I was working crazy hours all the time, & my weight really got out of control once I started 3-11 six days a week & was eating like a pig after I got off work until I went to bed, & on my only day off I would eat ALL day. I still work crazy shift-work, but I am finally getting things under control - just wish I could have done it sooner.0

I had a "not so enjoyable"* fast food job right after graduating from high school, and was going through a lot of problems with depression and anxiety, and I gained like 30 or 40 lbs, eating at work a lot. After that I worked at a coffee shop, where I gained another 20 or so pounds, mostly I think from bagels every morning and sugary drinks. I got my self in to really unhealthy eating habits and still seem to be gaining weight.
I think a lot of it is stress/depression eating. The stress and depression make it really hard for me to find motivation or feel like I'm able to leave the house to get some exercise. I only gain weight when I'm unhappy.

Laziness. Pure laziness. And, of course all the junk food/eating out that comes with being lazy.0

The hole that the food goes into is larger than the one it comes out of.0

I gained about 40 lbs after I started brewing and having beer around all the time on tap.0

This is a minor factor, but I realized that when I married a non-dancer, I pretty much stopped dancing and therefore stopped exercising altogether. There is so much more to it than that, though.0

PS... I stopped caring after I left Onderland and I convinced myself that I couldn't possible get bigger than that...but I didn't change my behavior and boy! Did I get bigger!0

I blame the mirena iud for: bringing my weight loss to a complete stop and adding more weight :explode: .It has taking a long time for it to leave my system so I think I'm in the clear now. There is a serious catch 22 with medication :devil: .0

Forcing myself to stay in a relationship to "make it work" because it was the only thing I knew at the time. I was trapped, and I found other sources of "happiness" I guess.0
