    Does that mean baking is bad?

    I let school get in theway of my health and I stopped caring about myself the way that I used to when I was younger. But now that I'm near the end of my school career I want to care again so I've been losing weight slowly but steadily.

    I always have been. As soon as I grew up I started doing something about it, before then, I don't know how much responsibility I can really take and that motivates me even more. Now I know that any weight I gain IS my fault, and I don't want to ever make myself less healthy.

    We all have excuses and stories and reasons why we gained weight, why we don't exercise, blah blah blah blah.

    What's YOURS???

    I am fat because :

    1 ) I used to say " I'd rather be fat and happy than skinny and a b*tch "

    2 ) I had two ankle surgeries and spend 6 months in a cast.

    3) I had three kids and really, who has time to eat properly?

    4 ) My husband eats like crap.

    5 ) I like to bake.

    6 ) The stars don't align in my favour.

    7 ) Every time I start to eat healthy, something happens.

    8 ) My kids ruined my body.

    9 ) I think my husband likes fat women.

    10 ) I'm lazy and full of excuses.

    OMG!!! Are we clones?? These were the exacts excuses I used for years!! No. 10 is the real one:)

    I was fat because as long as I wasn't 'the fattest friend' then I was eating just fine, as long as I didn't order the most unhealthy meal, I just just fine.

    So may reasons:

    Trying to do it all without asking for help: STRESS
    Fibromyalgia which made exercising painful
    Emotional eating
    No willpower
    Not eating enough of the proper food
    Now:
    I'm Aquasizing, Snowshoeing
    Eating well, and eating MUCH more food.
    Down 10.2 lbs in 1 month (only 5 on MFP) and heading for 35 more!

    So many excuses. I had twins gained 60lbs, immediately lost 60 from breastfeeding. But eating so many calories while bfing, then when I stopped bfing I didn't stop eating. The lbs started showing. I had never been over 140lbs in my life (except when preggo). I became a stay at home mom and started food blogging and my obsession with great foods grew and grew, as did my appetite and portions. I was baking weekly. Portion control was out the window, next thing I know 4 years after my babies are born I am the exact weight I was when I had them 198lbs. How depressing. I know my food issues stem from my interests (I truly love cooking), and boredom. I tend to overeat in the middle of the day, (3-4) that is my witching hour.

    I am slowly changing my view on food, portion control and my huge sweet tooth. I am 4 days into my fitness pal and 4 days of no processed sugars. I know I can do this.

    My hobbies aren't active enough eg. art, reading, more art. Also two brothers who eat like horses. My boyfriend lies me too much to worry about how I look(not complaining about that) an I guess I'm too lazy. All my fault really.

    I am fat because I like to eat and hate to exercise. That's the bottom line.
