    After highschool since there was no more pressure to impress, HAHA. Plus I was bulimic and when I started eating again, my body went YAY. But I gained purely on dessert and dessert alone. I dont eat much savory foods, its the dessert and sugary drinks that caught up with me.

    Stress, depression, happy, sad, I would just eat especially sweets. There was one time that I age a whole 2 pound bag of skittles in one day and I yelled at the kids for eating them. Was skinny in my 20's and weighed less pregnant than I do now. Really wanted to make a change and start liking myself so here I am.

    Mostly emotional eating. I had years of messed up emotions that i should have got medical help for but instead i turned to weed to help me "disappear" and while i did that i ate and ate and ate, even when i wasn't stoned, i just ate for every emotion you could dream of. Im happy, lets eat, im sad, lets eat, and so on....

    I gained 5 & 10 pounds a month for 7 years. Then had a miscarriage at 3months and gained more.. Then took care of my 85 year old mother before she died and got no sleep and felt trapped...then gained the rest. Now it is coming off. I feel free to recreate myself. I also quit smoking...in 2003. I started smoking when i lived in Spain for awhile. Also, desk job with long commute. Shoulder injury, I stopped working out.

    I got out of the military (Air Force) and it steadily started packing on over the years.

    I was walking 5-6 miles per day, when feet got injured from over use.

    Doctors said I had to quit the walking, instead of doing something else, I fell in a depressed slump for 10 years and let myself go.
