    I love butter. Also, fast food is hard to avoid without avoiding people. I have a crazy sweet tooth. One day, I ate nothing but cheesecake. @_@

    Alcohol. Lots of it. Every.single.day. That was the first 50. Then kids, 4 hr commute, no time to do anything about it and eating like my then-husband, that was about another 50. The last 50 came from a med I'm no longer on.

    Cookies for breakfast. And chocolate after ANYTHING that has tomato in it. Also, not counting calories on the weekends. And french fries...

    Years of Dr. Pepper consumption, years of Taco Bell, McDonalds, pizza, mega pasta portions, and midnight snacking! And minimal exercise. Yeah I think that covers it! LOL

    I've thought a lot about this, because I was skinny in high school - we were dirt poor and I never had enough to eat. I overcompensated and refused to watch what I ate because I was so almost afraid of feeling like I did growing up. I'm only now - ten years after leaving my mother's house - leaving some of the food issues behind.

    This.

    Partially genetics (PCOS, hypothyroid), but mostly cookies. I used to eat so many cookies. Looking back, I have no idea how I did it, but my lord...

    Wow, this is me. When I hit my teens and could get a job, I ate better but had to walk everywhere. So the cheeseburger didn't matter I burned it off.

    It was when I bought a car. It was all downhill from there.

    Pain. Fear. Years of dieting, even when I wasn't fat, followed by regaining what I'd lost and more.

    I gained the largest amount after we lost our first child at birth. It was just too much and I buried myself under a mountain of food. Mostly sugar.

    Even now, I hit about 30 pounds off and panic. My fat keeps me safe, even though I'm safe in my marriage and my life, there's a part of me that wants to choose the insulation that being fat gives me.

    Oh, and I LOVE to cook and bake and am very good at it. People are forever asking me to make this or that for their special events.

    I decided long ago that if I was going to be fat, I'd be a great cook. Now, I'm trying to translate that being a great cook into being not-fat. Mostly, I avoid the kitchen nowadays.

    I never learned the importance of a healthy diet and physical activity. My formerly anorexic mom used to feed me things like fried quesadillas. I grew up with Ho-Ho's, Ding Dongs, Kool-Aid, fried burritos, etc. My grandma never said no when I wanted Doritos or Oreos. I drank more juice and soda than water. I didn't learn appropriate portion sizes.
