I AM FAT BECAUSE.......

Oliviamarie05

I love bacon, burgers, burgers WITH bacon, my couch, movies, fries, ice cream...

Did I mention bacon?

I married a loser and was abused (in all ways) for 8 years and had very low self esteem. Didn't care enough about me because I felt no one else cared about me and let myself go bigtime! But I'm outta that relationship and ready for a new ME!!!

... because for years i thought i could eat and drink like my 6' 4" husband
... because i had to lose weight from two pregnancies
... because i have a weakness for baked goods and sweets
... because i eat out of boredom
... because i love food and didn't always practice moderation

I am fat because I had horrible eating habits and was doing no exercising.

I am fat because I was in denial about BEING fat for too long and by the time I knew it was a real problem, I felt discouraged that I'd let it go too far and I'd never be able to fix it.

I am fat because I use, abuse and love food, especially carbs. Has anyone had good luck recognizing the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger????

bikingpanda

I used to love french fries and sitting on my butt all day.

kaliso

I used to love spam.

I can't resist bread, cakes, sweets and all things bad - it is like an addiction for me! Doesn't even have to be anything I like? Stale twiglets anyone?? Yuk, but I ate them! Am hoping for a carrot addiction to kick in...yep, any day now....
And I'm a lazy slug....I guess that doesn't help!

alleycat88

I have trouble controlling my portion sizes.

Fat tastes soooooo good!!!

I love carbs and sugar just like you! With MFP, though, I can still enjoy that trip to McDonald's AND make my calorie goals. I just can't have as much as I'd like to.

I am a busy single Mom who didn't bother to take the time to take care of herself and I love to eat.

jonelaw

I prefer bread and cookies to fruits and veggies, the bakery is more enticing than the farmers market and I hate to exercise! Add vodka and any fruit juice on top of that and there ya' go!

ysepulveda1989

Im an emotional eater, and love all foods, fruits, veggies, sugar and carbs!

I am fat because I love to eat and not excerise. Its as simple as that.

I'm going to re-word it to suit me.

I have more fat then I am happy with because, I am an emotional eater, I'm a self sabotager(not on purpose), because I am full of excuses, because I use the fact that I can lose that weight again if I so choose as an excuse, because I eat out of boredom, because I don't really exercise and it is true that when you spend too much time around people who are larger or lacking control in their diet, that you kind of mirror that behaviour.

And also sometimes, I just think it's not fair that I can't eat whatever I like anymore with no consequences(like back when I was a teenager and had awesome metabolism) and I just go, stuff it and eat uncontrollably.

I' dont feel worth anything other than being fat, sad and miserable
babies =excuse
divorce = excuse
work = excuse

NO MORE:ohwell:

happyfeetrebel1

I am fat because food is yummy. I'm not a food snob..all food is equally good.

Chocolate makes my mouth happy :P

I'm learning to deal with it, eat more protein, eat less crap.

Mmmmmm

I'm not fat; I'm out of shape. I used to work in a very physically challenging job (home construction) and have been working a desk job and going to school for several years now. I'm now flabby although my weight is well within the healthy range for my height.

Sitting all day versus hammering stuff all day makes a huge difference in a person's body and appearance. I got rid of my desk chair today and am sitting here on my swiss ball instead. :happy:

I am fat because I drank to much alcohol and ate to much pizza over the summer and from late night emotional eating and I guess from being pure lazy and not working out like I do now.

squirrelgirl3

I'm fat because I got a deadly disease called Cushing's Syndrome that caused me to gain 70 extra lbs. Now that I am recovering, I've lost 36 of those, but will always have the damage from the disease...ARRRGHHH!!!!

StoutGirl09

I spent my college years drinking and ordering pizza at 3am. God bless Dominos... I mean, god bless MFP [:

DELICIOUS CAKE

BECAUSE FOOD IS MY FRIEND!! And the lack of exercise.....

journalistjen

out of spite against my Dad (who seem to only care about me playing basketball and "staying in shape" at the time), I ate poorly and quit exercising.

Now, because of the hard work I've done for myself, I am less fat.

isisbryan

I didn't eat regularly. Busy life kept me eating on the run. Eating on the run means eating fast food. I should have planned better. I had a personal trainer but I didn't have enough education about healthy eating on the run.

tonyspumas

because I ate late night, was depressed and was my escape.

judsywudsy

I love cake!!!!!!!!! anything thing that was sweet and baked was my friend. I'm also an emotional eater, as long as i am sad or depressed the first thing i will do is eat.
