    I was always very tiny, what I ate, exercise, weight in general was never something I had to think about because I just stayed tiny. Then I took a desk job and because i'd never had to think about it before I kept on with that mentality, just continued eating the way I normally did and not exercising. It's stupid but it really never occurred to me that I would need to adjust to make up for the lack of daytime activity, I just took for granted the whole "I don't gain weight" thing. Now, about 20lbs has caught up with me. Lesson learned.

    Ditto, lorierin22! I'm fat because I find it hard to reconcile today's me with the former skinny me who could eat whatever/whenever. .
  • i was never really taught about the consequences of eating too much and not excercising ........childhood.......but now i'm educated and i don't like all this wabbally and jigglely stuff around me ;p

    Because I simply don't make good choices. It's all my fault, and I accept that. I tell myself I "need" something because my body wants it, when it all comes down to a choice.

    I was fat because I have always been thin, and had the mindset that it would be a permanent thing. I always ate all the junk I wanted to. When I hit 30 it all hit me ten fold. I ate non stop....chips, cookies, fried stuff, Mt Dew, candy bars. I never ate breakfast and would be starving by lunch. I would easily eat over 1000+ calories on lunch alone. I worked a desk job and didn't exercise at all. I started playing WoW and got even lazier. I saw pictures of me and couldn't believe my eyes of how much I had let myself go. That was when I made the change. That was 40lbs ago. Now that I know how many calories are in foods and what correct portions are I have more control over my eating habits. I eat things I like but not trough-size amounts and I exercise regularly. It's all about balance and routine...and that's what works for me.

    No concept of portion control
    No idea about nutrition

    Food didnt make me fat, being lazy and broken relationships caused me to not care.

    Good thing is things are on the up :) lol

    I ate way more calories than I burned. I ate too much of crappy foods and allowed myself to be lazy and sedentary.

    However, I'm doing much better now! :)
