When I became Manager of Domino's Pizza and was consuming 1200+ calories in drinks alone per day at my worst. I'm still drinking some of my calories, but it's gotten alot better.

I have to blame my beautiful babies. I had them close together and never lost the pregnancy weight.

When I was 8 and molested by my brother. During school, I could maintain around 145ish, but when PE wasn't available, I just got fatter and fatter.

I can't pinpoint one moment. I've been overweight since I was little. My mom would try to cook at home, and keep healthy food around. My dad, who thought his diabetis was a joke, and I could follow in his footsteps, fed me candy and sodas and anything else unhealthy as much as he could from the time I was a toddler. So did his mother... and my mom's mother. It quickly became a habit.

When I stopped being a vegetarian in 7th grade after 7 years. I quickly became obsessed with fast-food and burgers because I could finally eat them.

I only used the period excuse to get out of taking a shower. Paula Danziger's The Cat Ate My Gymsuit really messed with my body image.

Not really. I have been obese since childhood. Which was horrifying for my parents because my mom was a phys.ed teacher and my dad was an ironman triathlete. I was adopted but they had 2 bio kids who were "normal". They couldnt figure out why I was not thin like them. We all ate the same and I never binged or snuck food. They put me on half portions in first grade. Still didnt really work.

I would have to say... Grad School, My godfather dying, building a house and midnight shift and a car wreck all happening within 6 months...... it was a recipe for disaster.

BehindBlueEyes988

When my thyroid started failing, and I was unaware of any issue at all. I continued eating normal, but normal now makes me gain tons of weight. =[ Getting a retail job working 39 hours a week on my feet didn't help during the same time either

When I gave up smoking,

6 years ago I was 120lbs, I gave up smocking 18th Nov 2006 and in the 6 years since went up to 170lbs.

Yes, it was when I started dating my boyfriend....for the first time in my life I felt like a man accepted me and loved me the way I was....and he did! That's when my weight dropped down to the bottom of my list of concerns....our favorite thing to do was to eat together.....over a year later, he still loves me just as much but I'm becoming aware of this and doing it for nobody but me!

trchristy

honestly can I say when I was born? I was brought up in a family that was morbidly obese. I was not taught the importance of eating the right foods or exercise. Thankfully since having my children I have tried to instill a better way of eating and exercise. I lose sight here and there of how important it is.

After i graduated university, moved to a new country,got a desk job and started driving everywhere instead of walking. I started eating out of boredom and didn't even notice the weight gain until i got on a scale one day and it said 152. From 118, in about a year an a half...

liltenji

eurgh too many to point out;

was always a chubby kid, age 13 started starving myself. weight yo-yo'd until i was 20 [wasnt overweight but felt as fat as i am now] and then 2 weeks after starting uni my friend passed away and i was getting bullied by my uni housemates. i stayed in and ate loads [when i used to get sad i'd stop eating].

and here i am, fat and gross.

I started becoming obese after a fatal multiple car accident. I had 2 skull fractures and a fractured femur. I spent 2 1/2 mos. in the hospital in traction. Then I was unable to do anything physical because I lost the range of motion in my right hip and knee. I put on 70 lbs. in a yr. and I was only 12. Since then I packed on the wt. up to 304 before finally taking control.

SoDamnHungry

When I found out my boyfriend was leaving and we were breaking up. I ate everything. And I told myself I could eat whatever I wanted since I felt like crap, even thought I felt sick constantly from eating too much.

When I miscarried. I gained 20lbs in 2 months and then got pregnant again. Gained 30lbs during pregnancy. I was overweight by 15-25 lbs before the miscarriage, due to liquid calories and fast food.
