    I used to think you only live once so why not enjoy everything? Now I realize: Yes you only live once, but you live a longer and better life being healthy!!

    Agreed 100%!!! :D

    My love of food exceeds my love of exercise...
    I am not forced to walk to my destination, because I own a car...
    I have all the modern conveniences known to man, which allows me to
    sit more than stand, relax more than work...
    Chocolate tastes better than carrots...
    Thinking about things doesn't burn as many calories as one would hope...
    Being happy does not mean being skinny...
    Eating habits are formed at an early age, when activity levels are very high and my failure to
    make the necessary adjustments in my diet to correspond with my decreased activity levels...
    Advanced age has slowed my metabolism...
    5 pregnancies in 5 years took a toll on my body...
    Because I haven't been doing this long enough...

    I love food and all the joy and celebrations of life are surrounded with food and all the disappointments and losses in life are surrounded with food .
    isn't that the truth?!

    I am overweight (well, not anymore but was) because I love cooking and food. And I just happened to be eating too much of it. :( It still sucks that I have to give all that up but a moment on the lips, forever on the hips! And arteries etc.
    poo. :(

    Mostly it's because I'm lazy but if I had to find another reason it would be six IVF cycles and the meds that go with them. Six pregnancies including two sets of twins which makes for 8 babies. Love of chocolate and sweets more than veggies.

    1) I moved five hours away to start vet school this year. Consequently, I lost access to the only sport I've ever been good at - horseback riding. And being the overly perfectionist type ("If I'm not good at it in the first five minutes, I don't want to play!"), I was too lazy/chicken to find something to replace it with. (Until very recently, obviously. Yay!)

    2) Long study sessions lend themselves to candy and pizza. A lot of clubs at school offer free pizza. And cookies. And ice cream. And pop. Overly sugary cappucinos for late night cramming. Lack of planning snacks led to grabbbing whatever was cheapest at school and giant muffins cost the same as apples, and cookies were cheaper than salads and the salads were always sad looking wilted messes.

    It all adds up to me being too lazy to care.

    Here is my theory:
    1) I have a deep emotional tie to food. It is my "comfort."
    2) I can blame "fat" for my other shortcomings.
    3) Each time I was "skinny" I got date raped and subconsicously know that the weight keeps them away. (which leads to)
    4.) I don't know what to do with men's attention (which I get when i am skinny) due to lack of male figures in my life.
    5.) I am self-destructive
    6.) I need to love myself.
    7) lazy

    4 words:

    Jack
    In
    The
    Box

    Those words contributed to my fatness too. lol

    I'm fat because I like to sit on my *kitten* and eat junk food. That's pretty much it.

    I am fat because of Nintendo! My princess was always in another castle! WHY WAS SHE ALWAYS IN ANOTHER CASTLE??? And that dang dog in duck hunt! Laughing at me! Always Laughing!!!!

    Seriously though, videogames as a kid helped encourage me to stay inside, and then I ate crap all the time. That got me started on my path. What probably led to it being out of control was college. 6 regular 20 oz Cokes or Mountain Dews (Diet? Pssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Diet is for sissies!) a day every day for 4 years put it all into effect wonderfully.

    Course now I am laying some smackdown and getting my weight where I want it. Feels pretty damn good too.

    i worked in a pub where i was around food all day long, we had free reign to the chip bowl and the yorkshire puddings on a sunday and the roast potatoes.. it was just a downward spiral. anything i ate the whole summer was deep fried and then i got a taste for it and kept it up for about a year before i realised i was over 13stone and cried myself to sleep for a week. The i realised i had to do something about it.

    This post is really interesting! Definitely proud of those ladies who had hubbies poking fun at them, and kicked them to the curb! I was in the same situation for a few months with my EX-fiance!
