    ...my calories increased, but my exercise decreased. I became comfortable and convinced myslef I was happy despite the weight gain. At 170 lbs I wanted to lose weight, but I only lost 5 pounds and then the weight kept creeping up. Now, at 4 months post-partum, I am at my heaviest weight...170 lbs would be a milestone in my weight loss journey.

    Eating too much, moving too little.
    I have a sedentary job that bores me to snacks.
    I have bites while I cook meals and while I put left-overs away.

    I'm trying to break these bad habits.

    I have a strong emotional attachment to food. It started as a child when I was abused, and has carried over into my adult life. Combine that with inactivity, and that is why I am fat.

    although I eat very healthily, I have a major problem with portion control, not to mention a weakness for wine!

    After a baby, many many stresses from normal everyday stresses, to the stress of courts and being a young single mother, I gave up on myself and stopped caring for awhile. Then started the "I can't" and "It'll never happen".

    ...I'm sabotaging my efforts to lose weight. I've lost at least 10 pounds in the last 6 months or so - only it's the same two pounds over and over again. Apparently I'm more comfortable being insecure and a little overweight than I would be if I were to succeed.

    Since this makes no sense even to me I'm going to keep at it and this time it's going to work.

    For me I think it was the fact that when I lived with my parents they controlled everything we did. Including what we all ate. We didn't have cable TV growing up, and we didn't get fruit roll-ups and little cupcakes in our lunch's like the other kids. So growing up we were all very fit and thin kids. But then when I moved out I discovered a world of junk food we could never have! Also that and my now husband took me out to dinner like every night when we were dating because that's what he thought he was supposed to do. That and he couldn't cook!

    But now I ask for healthy recipes from my dad to make for my husband and I. It was only a matter of time that I ended up going back to my well at least my dad's way of eating-parents are divorced now.

    I've lost the weight because I've tried to cut out most of the junk (yes-most, my husband is a sugar FIEND!). But now that I am getting older and realized how heavy I had gotten so QUICKLY! That eating healthy is so important.

    I quit smoking and had to do something with my hands...so food was the easy choice
    I was not educated enough to understand the calories in calories out concept
    And when I initially learned about calories in calories out concept was too lazy to track it properly
