    I ate way too much and did nothing for exercise, I got emotional and gave up on myself! Eating to cope has gotten me here, no excuses, it's my own fault!

    Because I had four babies within 7years and never bothered to fully lose the weight each time,
    Also because I always made excuses of being too tired to do stuff or tied down cos of the kids.

    I have delayed sleep-phase syndrome. (No matter what I do I fall asleep one hour later than the day before everyday, so every few weeks I am up all night) For years I would eat like less than a person should during the weeks I could stay awake during the day, but the week I was up all night, I felt terrible, lethargic and lonely I ate horrible stuff, and tons of it (especially fast food since it was the only restaurant ever open at 3am-6am). The combination of the two left me fat, this made me depressed and I made the situation much worse. I used to 'fix' my sleep by forcing myself to stay up for 2 days so I could go to sleep at a 'normal' time. On those days I would not eat anything for hours (usually 10-12 then get so hungry I would over do it when I did eat something)

    Now I eat the same amount of calories every 'day' no matter what time frame my day is. I can't wait until I get to post "I am a healthy weight because..." someday.

    I used food as a coping mechanism when abuse started when I was 13. Food was the only thing I felt was in my control.

    Since then, it's been an issue and has been hard to get to where I love myself.

    AND, it doesn't help that my thyroid is out of whack.

    -ate unhealthy
    -didn't work out
    -became too comfortable in relationships & let myself go

    after all the "excuses" I think most of us can agree to this!

    I was fat because I never had any concept of what a portion of food actually is.

    I am no longer fat because I learned. I will be cremated with my trusty pink measuring cup.

    I WAS fat because... My dad left me with an emotional void as a child and I filled it in with food. How things have changed!

    I am fat because;

    well lets see My 52 year old mother is 320lbs, my 50 year old father is 280lbs, my 26 year old is 275 and I was 240 so in other words my entire family is horribly obese. My mother is an amazing cook but she never taught us portion control (obviously). Also when I was a little kid I was a tap/ballet dancer but was such a cluz that I knocked over everyone during a performance. My teacher was furious and told me to get out and never come back. I was 6 at the time for goodness sake. That really tramatized me in the way that now I'm EXTREMELY shy now and can't handle walking/running/working out in front of people (so forget going to the gym).

    Sad childhood story aside I can't completely blame it on that. I'm short at 5'1 and have never been thin. I graduated high school almost five years ago and started college. My college doesn't have a meal plan and I live in the middle of the city with no grocery stores nearby so I ate the food that you can buy at a convience store. Also since my (art) major has me sitting in front of a computer or desk for most of my time I didn't exercise enough.

    Also due to my extreme shyness I don't have any self-esteem so I didn't care about myself, ironically enough i'm not an emotional eater.

    I've decided that I'm not going to be just another fat @ss in my family. So I'm on my way!:smile:
