    Anti depressents. That ish will blow you up 30+ lbs in a matter of months.

    I stopped taking them. Strangely, after I stopped taking them and started losing weight, I felt less depressed. Go figure.

    Beer, Pasta and cheese combined with a sedentary lifestyle. I ate pasta and cheese by the pound growing up and never adapted to the fact that I wasn't running or swimming miles everyday anymore. Oh, and a preggo wife. I ate whatever cravings she did for both kids but she got to immediately drop 9 lbs of the weight where I did not.

    Because I love to eat all the food........and after working > 9 hours a day and then getting home.....eating dinner.......getting the kids to bed.........I would much rather watch TV/ play video games than go back out to the gym.

    PCOS and not doing what I was supposed to to keep the crazy weight gain at bay.

    It's not totally my fault (seeing as I got diagnosed a 19, yet docs knew something was wrong since I was 9 and the never did a thing), but for the almost 4 years after, I should have done what I knew what I was supposed to do to help myself.

    I'm happy I finally realize I need to take care of myself and not complain "WHY ME?!?!?!" all the damn time. Life comes with obstacles in one way or another.

    Because there really is no food I don't like. Food was always used for celebration or reward and still is. After getting up at 5 am working all day..... home time with the kiddo....cleaning .....who the hell wants to go back to the gym at 9 pm ?


    me that is why I am working on NOT being Fat because the difference in that pic up there in my av and now is that I crave my workout even if Im tired

    I like to lift all the heavy things and set them back down again now

    i keep starting and stopping

    eat good/eat like crap

    mostly starting and stopping. i think even if i ate like crap and trained the results would be better than just stopping altogether LOL....ugh i can't stand being consumed by the all or nothing thought process :huh:
  • Genetics, Birth Control, I started driving instead of walking all over town, Hit 18, ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Mainly it was due to eating Fast food a lot and ice cream, cookies, etc.

    I battled my depression with toaster strudels. :laugh:

    No... for real. I ate my emotions for years AND that is why I got fat.

    German/Irish, slow metabolism, love of carbs, emotional eating, and laziness.

    I love potatoes, starches, beer, meat, cheese, and extra portions.

    This has been a year of relearning how to eat. Some I've been successful...
  • Fast Food( Because it is cheap and easy), Candy( cause its cheap and easy), quitting Swim team and never getting back to it. Basically being broke is the reason I got fat. And being lazy and unmotivated.

    I love things like cakes and cookies - i cant help myself around them. I'm also really bad with variety! If there is alot of variety i will eat some of everything - i'm bad at buffets and appatizers. I am really active so it helps but it only holds my weight I cant manage to get the 20 pounds off that i need to do.

    Processed, nasty *kitten* food. I'm getting better at this. And thus, losing the fat :) Yeah!
  • Zero willpower, McDonald's, Desserts, Laziness, overeating, and Lexapro! :smile:
  • Cake... restaurants that have 3 course set meals... cookies... so many reasons. All are brought on by not listening to my body, ignoring my feelings, and not exercising enough.

    Because I thought I could continue to eat like I did while I was in highschool playing soccer year round, and running 90 minutes a day for track ontop of plyometrics and strength training :(

    I am not "fat" but wine is the reason I cannot reach my goals. Working on it though.

    erratic work schedules (3 jobs) most of the time having to eat whatever they serve you.

    i spent about 10 years of my life in competition training for swimming and dancing so my eating habits were geared towards that.

    i love to drink and bake and hanging out with friends always ends up including food---and my friends all have horrible, i'm always broke, fast food eating habits.

    I'd say genetics largely and the fact that my Mom 'loved' us with food growing up. Bad day-here have some junk, good grades-let's go to McDonald's. This is a hard thing to undo.
  • Very simple more calories eaten than calories used. :glasses:

    Cuz when you have a tool like this, you need to build a shed over it.
