    funny thing is...if i would eat what everyone around me ate or was a socially acceptable amount/type of food i would get fat as hell. I did this most of my life, wondering why i was fat.

    Now that i know what to eat and proper portion size i feel like an outcast when eating around other people. Always hearing comments about "why are you dieting you look fine", :mad: cause im not going to eat ****ing mcdonalds and pizza all the time and get fat as hell.

    ::Ok:: that's my rant on the topic. :tongue:

    its so true tho. the balance is off. I don't live in the states, where I can imagine its WAY off, but everywhere its off. foods too dense and too large. id say the majority eat unhealthy diets.

    For me, I started gaining weight in grade 8, but it went overboard in grade 9, I think my depression took over. I ended up with a couple of health issues afterwards.

    I got fat from years of eating fast-food 3 to 4 times a day.

    I got fat because I never bothered to learn how to eat properly. I ate more than my body needed.

    When a boy likes a girl.... aka: pregnancy

    But I don't think I have ever been fat. 30% BF is overweight correct? I am 5'8 and have never weighed more then 155lbs.. I was 190lbs with my second baby but 155lbs within a month of her birth. However at 155lbs it was usually a lot of taco bell and no working out with some ice cream and extra helpings on the side.

    Gained 80 pounds being pregnant with my son and then tacked on another 40ish from over eating emotional eating etc etc. Husband cheated when I was pregnant so it totally killed what little self confidence I had. Just now getting some of that back and its been more than 5 years.

    I ate a ton and never exercised but was completely convinced my weight was due to bad genes and stress.

    Before getting in shape I went from my average 110 to 190 in 4 months due to the stress of my mom losing custody of my grandpa and me taking him in thus becoming a full time caregiver while finishing my last, stressful year of college. Right after he died I was held at knife point, then had identity theft and finally a month after that got lyme disease. Just call me Murphey =P

    Stress eating - desk job with long hours and two young boys who consume a lot of time - but mostly lack of drive to choose or make the better meals.

    Wow -Liz just read your post - that is a lot I can see how anyone reach for something to cope.

    - Two pregnancies and two kids later... but during those pregnancies I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, that means if I wanted ice cream 5 times a day I had it. Plus I didn't exercise while pregnant, t just got lazy with it.
    - After each pregnancy I continued to eat whatever, and continued to be lazy
    -Didn't exercise, the only exercise I got was on an every other day walk.
    -Making excuse after excuse of why I couldn't or didn't start losing the pregnancy weight after each kid and also why I wasn't exercising.

    All it took was seeing a picture of myself to change my laziness and excuses. I'm trying to eat healthier, I say trying because it is sort of hard on a tight budget. I'm exercising more, although I can step it up, just trying to gradually get into a routine.
