What's one thing that attributed to your weight gain?

I was thin before I got pregnant. I had 3 kids 5 and under. Never had time to lose it in between.

I don't blame 1 thing. I blame 3 people!
1. John Labatts
2. Ben
3. Jerry

LOL, seriously, I blame my inactivity more than anything...

I stopped exercising.

heavy shoes. Seriously, being lazy and eating way too much fast food.

for me it was going from a serving job where i was on my feet walking all night to a desk job where i sit for 8-12 hours a day... i got really really bad about not bringing my lunch... since i have started bringing my lunch to work again, i have started to drop the pounds and save money!! win win

My weight gain is due to working physically active jobs and then being unemployed off and on for the last five years and not adjusting my diet for lack of physical activity.

I just learned today 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon. So a pie that's 44 grams of sugar, take a glass and put 11 teaspoons of sugar in. Doesn't take long to realize that's a LOT of SUGAR! Not healthy. A coke is about the same. When I'm nervous, I want to eat. That's crazy.

Wow...That really put things into perspective for me; can't believe I would consume triple that amount a day!

Pregnancy, laziness, misconception of my activity level, misconception of food portioning, and tater tots (couldn't pick just one)

For the last 30 lbs I'm trying to get off NOW... Taco Bell for sure and Domino's pizza. But growing up, my family would get these pies every now and then and I would eat a whole one to myself. I don't think I'd dare eat a whole one NOW. I can't believe how bad these are, my parents were oblivious, and the whole thing is just pure sugar.

But it has real fruit filling right? :grumble: :noway:

Anorexia, in the long term.

Obviously it made me very skinny but when it became a case of 'oh ****, need to starting eating again or else" then it was ... oh, hello 45 pounds!

Using food as an antidote to stress....wrong method altogether! Exercise works much better.

^ ^ THIS - 100% ^ ^

Stress will always be there in some form, I just needed to learn to process it in a better way!

Two things:
My first job was working at Dairy Queen.
When I worked at a car dealership, we went to the bar every night and stayed until bar close.

One thing would be......SUGAR! I like sweets everything sweet including the healthy ones like "Carrot" cake, "Dairy" Queen and "Blueberry" pie or "Peach" cobbler. LOL

Seriously sweets are my down fall and social eating with friends. It's hard to not have the good stuff your having too.

I am trying again to change though.

Beer. Great and glorious (and ice cold) beer. Man I love beer. My weight? Not so much.

And that 54 calorie stuff? That's not beer. *grumbles*

rockstarginaa

Large portions, multiple servings and terrible food.

My favorite part of your picture is how they make sure to add the "REAL FRUIT FILLING" on there. What a joke!

Baby weight, never had a problem with my weight ever before. Oh and maybe the fact i sat on my *kitten* during pregnancy eating ten ton of crap!! lol

Boredom eating at work. This is the first time I've ever had a full time desk job, and it gets so boring I just want to eat all day. I was having 8 mini kit kats during the day, plus all my regular meals and snacks.

Dunkin' Donuts bagels and donuts, pizza, and especially candy. I would buy candy every single afternoon so I would have it to snack on throughout the evening.

Fast food and dessert.....I have the worst sweet tooth and my husband is even worse which makes it hard, but I"m working on self control

The weekends. Having a boyfirend who's naturally tall and skinny (think chinese food and pizza) and a group of friends who LOVE to party (lots of beer/alcohol on the weekends) have not been a freind to my weight...

I've been trying to cook more with the BF so he understand healthy food is just as awesome as Domino's (although it's hard to convince someone when you're not totally convinced yourself). Also, with my friends I'v tried to switch from beer to mix drinks (dies sodas) to hopefully reduce the calories...

This mainly. Snacking, accompanied by lack of exercise. Plus undue stress, and accompanying stress eating. When I gave up sugar for lent (a turning point which should have started my weight loss--but didn't) I realized that everytime an unpleasant task came up at work, I would procrastinate for 5 minutes by going to get a snack out of the vending machine. My only "reward" in my day-to-day was sweets or indulgences. I know better now. Everything in moderation is really the key--and getting in that gym!

Stress eating for sure... I am definintley an emotional eater. Growing up, my parents were more concerned with the quanitity of food they could get versus the quality of food we kids ate. I had moon pies, tter tots and corn dogs almost every day. Any processed food, soda, and chips that you could get in quantity at a warehouse wholesaler.
