how you got fat?

quicklabs

Stress eating at work; drinking wine to relax at home; not planning any meals. Eating lots of processed food in large amounts.

Mine started a couple of yrs ago when I got sick with lyme disease. My dr told me that some people gain and some lose, I was one of the unlucky ones. With illness, pain, swelling and the all over feeling of wanting to die I ate crappy food and many weeks could barely walk.. Although I managed to get to the kitchen.

I gained a ridiculous amount of weight in 1 yr. A yr later, now that I'm doing better most of it has come back off, I have the last 20 to go and now I really need to exercise, I hate exercise. It's so not fun!

I smoked a lot of pot, ate a lot of food, and watched a lot of TV.

Moved to a new country where I knew no one. When I was bored, I ate. When I was sad, i ate. When I missed home, I ate.
Started driving everywhere instead of walking.
Food portions here are huuuuge compared to what I was used to back home. Well, let's just say that I got used to them really fast.
Got a big girl job, where I sit on my *kitten* 8 hours a day.
I discovered cheesecake.

Basically, I sat on my *kitten* too much, and I ate too much.

The cheesecake was awesome though, wasn't it?

Too many One Armed Nacho Lifts.

and that damn insatiable appetite that you get when nursing. :grumble:

I'm not the only one!!

I hate it when people talk about all the weight they lost nursing. I was the hungriest I had ever been in my entire life when I was nursing (much worse than pregnancy). I felt like every cell in my body was screaming for food. wth?!

(It's not the only thing that got me to where I am...but it sure didn't help!)

I got fat cos I lost my job, got bullied at my next one, had to work cos of money, stressed out and then got signed off work due to illness. Then didn't exercise properly for 2 years...put on 2 stone. New medication might have put more weight on me, so I made a concerted effort to lose the 2 stone, and it's come off and stayed come off. My Dr was amazed the medication hasn't bloated me up - I told him, I'm making sure it doesn't!!!

I got fat because I exercised too little and ate too much.

Courtney_0402

Practically been overweight all my life. It just started getting worse after I had my sons. That coupled with an emotionally abusive baby daddy, depression, and laziness, I got fatter. It was horrible.

Weekends full of binge drinking, eating, fornication, and various other debauchery

Fornication only causes weight gain if you become pregnant.

My obsession with Mt Dew, carbs and the fact that hanging with my best friend always included us going and eating the fattiest thing there could be.

MayaSPapaya

not exercising, having way to much junk food/enormous serving sizes.
Then I get to college and someone emotionally beat me to the ground, where I then proceeded to eat my feelings with all the yummy, fattening food college has to offer.
Bam. 30 pounds gained in a few months.

NaomiJFoster

Loved food.
Loved the act of eating.
Disliked exercise.
Mid-life hormonal changes.
Gave up.

Still love food. Have learned to moderate. Have learned to love and appreciate exercise. Have decided that hormones do make changes but do NOT control everything. Decided to put in that bit of extra effort and take charge of my own health.
