    I am fat because I eat the house down and then exercise till it hurts several times a day but it doesnt even out the calories which consist of sugar and starch. (getting better tough)

    Like most, I WAS fat, because of my greedy gluttony and laziness.

    I drink and/or go out to eat at least once a week.
    Basically it's the way I spend my social life that needs tweaking I think.

    It never occurred to me that a serving of macaroni and cheese might be less than 2 cups.

    This was my problem too! lol :laugh:

    I had a bad day at work! So now I'm going to drink a bottle of wine, have a frozen pizza, and eat cheesecake until I feel like I'm going to throw up.

    i am fat because I'm addicted to food. a smoker can never smoke again, gambler never needs to gamble again.... but a food addict, how can you not eat ?

    I am fat because I've spent too much time saying i couldn't find the time to exercise

    i am fat because my husbands thinks french fries are a veggie, biscuits with sausage gravy is a rounded meal, and begs for burger king.

    I am fat because its easier to be fat than work to be thin.

    I resent the premise......

    The first thing to do is to like yourself and not put yourself down.

    To me that statement is a put down.

    I suggest you join MFP to change your lifestyle and get healthy and NOT because you feel FAT. For that feeling you need to seek counsel elsewhere!

    ps. I guess I'm also taking issue with the CAPS in the statement

    I WAS fat because I drank too much soda. I was lazy. I didn't go out and ride my bike like all the thin neighborhood kids did. Reese Cups made everything better. I had an oral fixation and food was my "friend"....till it turned on me and made it impossible for my 12-yr old self to ride one end of Ocean City, NJ boardwalk to the other (a little over a mile) without having to take a break. And the ride was pure torture because I was so out of shape as a tween girl any exercise HURT! But being called "Big Bertha" by a group of guys, one of whom I liked, in 9th grade while the entire lunchroom laughed at me was MORE PAINFUL than any exercise I ever did, ever! So now I'm not fat and haven't been for MANY years.

    Let your hubby eat the crap while you get healthy. It's not easier to be fat than to be thin. I've been both and being fit is the easier, softer way...I promise! Wait till you hit 40 and can still do ALL the things you did at 25 and maybe even better now! Then you will KNOW it's easier to be fit than to not be fit!!

    I eat when I'm sad. I'm sad alot. I eat when I'm happy, to celebrate. I eat when I'm in turmoil. I eat when I'm hungry and sometimes can't stop.
    Sometimes it takes being accountable to someone or to something to force you to change. How many times can you say... "Food is my enemy" while you're still eating?
    It's taking me a long, long time but I'm realising that food isn't my enemy, I am, but I'm trying to do better.

    I understand your comment ..however I think it's a valuable step in the process to acknowledge how you got this way? If you never examine the behavior ,event or choices that led you to where you are now .How do you expect to change them ? After reading other people answers I really started to evaluate how exactly I got to this place ...I find it healing.

    Beacuse I did not take care of myself. I let others needs and my feeling sorry for myself get the best of me.

    I used to not care what I ate at all, and made fun of people who took living healthy seriously. That was a bad mistake..

    I AM FAT BECAUSE.......I eat when I'm bored, eat when I'm sad, eat when I'm frustrated, eat when I just ate. And when I eat, I eat cakes and cookies, and ice cream, and anything that is sweet and creamy, succulent. I had to break up with Ben and Jerry. I also eat large portions. Can't get more truthful then that. I don't like to cook, so fast food was a staple.

    - I got lazy
    - I stopped working out
    - I've been eating garbage

    Time to make a change and get back in to top shape.

    I'm fat because I had a condition during my recent pregnancy that made me sick preventing me from working out..... and because chocolate is yummy.

    I am a addicted to food. I love all food. I have no self control. I suffer from major depression disorder and PTSD. I am a emotional eater. And frankly over the last 5 years I excepted that my eating habits was going to kill me and I was ok with that.
