    same here girl!! i am experiencing that right now :(
    I'm fat because I like to eat. When PMS rolls around I'm scarfing down junk at an alarming rate. Two weeks out of the month of eating junk catches up after a while.

    Oh man, I hear you! This is my downfall, too. If it isn't tacked down, I WILL eat it during that time of the month!

    I am fat because they make things such as cheeseburgers, and cheesecake, and ice cream, and enchiladas, and tacos, and cheese, and pasta, and cheesy potatoes, and margaritas ....and....and....and....and..... Yea, cus I am a foody....that's why. LOL


    And omg, I forgot mozzarella sticks, and jalepeno poppers, and hot wings, and ranch dressing.....those are the late night snacks that I REALLY blame it on! :)

    I was on depo provera shots and gained 60 lbs, spent 4 years working full time and going to school part time, had severe pain from PCOS for two weeks out of every four, and at WAY TOO MUCH fast food.

    Hopefully the problems are solved. I had a hysterectomy so no more shots and PCOS only 2 or 3 times a year instead of 13 or 14 and it only lasts 2-3 days instead of weeks. I graduated from college. But most importantly, hardly ever eat fast food anymore. I just can afford it anyway.

    I am fat because I moved to North Carolina and got depressed.

    When I was a teen I was SUPER active and had a teeny metabolism, then I got a desk job and still ate like I was active. I got a husband and split cooked food in half (half a pizza for you, half for me). Somehow I never learned how an adult female my height should eat until about a year ago (32 years old).

    I am fat because...

    -My job requires me to be on the computer several hours a day, seven days a week.
    -I have an addiction to cheese (cheddar, to be exact). I love cheese and could eat cheese every waking minute of every day.
    -I don't exercise enough. Plain and simple. I am trying to change that and I've done well so far this week. :D
    -I come from an Italian family. My parents basically force you to overeat or else they're insulted (if they think you don't eat enough, more food is added to your plate; wasting food is a sin. :( )

    My cheese addiction can be curbed; the first and last issues are huge issues that I must defeat!

    I am fat because I never used to control my portions.
    I ate what I wanted and no one ever told me to stop!
    Until I got older, so I stopped listening to them, and got fatter

    - I have PCOS, but I am addicted to carbs!
    - I thought I was invincible.
    - I got comfortable in a relationship.
    - I was 125lbs at 5'2 when my mother started telling me to 'suck in my gut'.
    - I turned to food because I had no other support.

    I could probably go on for days... Glad to see I'm not the only one!

    I love to snack, for hours...mostly salty foods which ended up more calories than my whole meals are now.
    Also BF always offered me seconds... and thirds... until I was ready to burst. I figured if he didn't mind me getting fat why should I, then I decided I did mind and I do have good reasons to not eat like that.
    Also I had convinced myself that I could not find half an hour a day to get up & move (yet somehow I always had time to do any favors requested of me) that is changing.

    Because I ate a lot of crap as a child. My brain tumor also messed with my glands, my heart does not pump enough blood so it's hard to excersize and my depression makes me want to eat ALL THE THINGS.

    PORTION SIZES....once you start reading the labels and measuring you realize how much you tend to underestimate what you are actually eating.

    I have deprioritized exercise and healthy eating. I have focused more on my family, career, schoor, and my favorite TV programs rather than spending more time integrating a healthier lifestyle into the higher priorities.

    I ate/eat my emotions and never worked out, or stuck to any work outs long enough to get results before I gave up.

    I am fat because I'm lazy. I use my three small children as an excuse for being too busy to exercise and eat right.

    ...I just didn't care enough about what I was doing to my body. I now have a wonderful husband who is unbelievably supportive and an unconditional loving man. If that's not motivation enough, I don't know what is. We've changed our entire diet, and plan on making our second 50-years, years worth LIVING.
