    Partly b/c I have PCOS but mostly b/c I'm a carb addict. I love bread, pizza, and pasta. I could probably live off of bagels with cream cheese if you let me. Also, I love anything fried, I'd eat a boot if it was fried. :laugh:

    My dads side of the family always ate terrible. Even as a ten year old I would go visit them and gain twenty pounds. My mom always cooked healthy meals....when she was home. Then between 18 and 20 years of age I was well for lack of a better term, starving myself. Then when I got a job and got on my feet, with a great boyfriend I got FAT. its happiness fat but fat nonetheless.

    As a veggie generally far too many carbs (in particular pasta) with no idea of portions
    Alcohol at uni did not help - and I was drinking stupidly calorific drinks.

    Before I started I thought my diet was fine and wasn't sure where I was going wrong as I did not eat high fat food, but I did not look at calories in high carb food (I'm still guilty of this I often go over my carbs when set at 40% but I'm now within my calories)

    Not getting up off my lazy backside for any exercise whatsoever besides walking to the car and up the stairs.

    I've always been a tad chubby, but emotional eating (damn PTSD) pushed me over the edge. Got fat on my first trip to Iraq, and never lost the weight. Now I'm working with a doc, learning to recognize hunger vs. emotional eating (so insidious!), and slowly decreasing the massive sugar binges that my doc calls "homemade Zoloft." Cardio does the same thing, only without the sugar crash and self-loathing.

    Sometimes it still really sucks, but overall I'm feeling much better.

    I'm fat because I eat poorly and do not exercise. I lack self-disciple and self-control with food.

    I am fat because I lost sight of the things that matter most and because I take for granted that the good Lord has blessed me with good health. I lack self discipline and dedication in keeping my good health. It is funny when I look back at all the things I have been so successful at i.e job, raising children etc but I have the least success in losing weight which when you think about it seems far easier to eat right and exercise than it does to climb that corporate ladder or raise children.

    Chocolate...
    I got married, my husband knew chocolate always made me happy. So good or bad things happen, he would bring home chocolate. 7 years later, I was fat.

    I refused to address the fact that 6 Mt Dews per day would eventually kill me.

    My mom developed a binge habit after her divorce from my dad and I, as her youngest child and not knowing any better, followed in her lead ----> rough childhood, not allowed to play outside much, overfed
    > angsty chubby teen, emotional issues, ate my problems ---> currently doing better, eating fresh foods, exercising, total control over my eating but bad habits die hard. I freaking love fast food.

    LACK OF WILLPOWER! Knowing I'm full but continue to feed my face untill I am uncomfortable. Knowing I'm full but finishing the the plate. Eating because Im bored not becuase Im hungry. Fast Food.
