    Booze, going out to eat too often.... lack of energy (as a result of being fat, I'm sure). Woot!

    I blame it on menopause.

    Ok, it's actually because of too much junk food and not enough exercise but I'd rather blame it on menopause. :bigsmile:

    Because I'm short and grew up with no thoughts about portion control. Then once I found out about caloric needs and portions, I convinced myself that because I'm short that would mean living off salads for the rest of my life if I ever wanted a nice body; I figured I'd rather eat "like a normal person" and be a little on the chubby side than have to put myself through that. But that was really all BS - I can still have treats, just not as many as someone a foot taller than me and I just have to suck it up and accept that.

    Eating too many (and too much) of the wrong foods, and not exercising enough :(

    Because I found out that being a couch potato does not count as an activity. I am petting my cats and dog so I do move some.

    Seriously, I don't eat enough and need to move more.

    Marriage makes you happy and fat. Dinner out is our alone time, even if we have the four kids with us.
    An addition to fast food
    Not being a real fan of cooking my own food
    Doritos
    Pepsi
    Being too busy to exercise


    I broke the fast food addiction
    I took some cooking classes and now it's pretty fun
    My girls are teenagers now and go to Zumba with me
    Somehow made the conversion to Diet Coke and lived to tell the tale
    Lastly, I made myself a priority. Not easy for a mother to do.

    I tried to eat away my anxiety disorder and depression. My grandfather would always make fun of what I was eating and watch me like a hawk at the dinner table making snide remarks, so I'd take another portion to spite him. In addition, he always thought women were worthless, especially fat women, so he never really treated me and my mother properly, and we lived with/are still living with them due to the care my grandmother and him need. I hate going outside, bugs, heat, and sweat, so exercise was never something I enjoyed doing, and still hate it. I hate feeling dirty and grimy. I ate after my breakup. A lot. It was my first relationship ever, first kiss, first everything, at age 21. He cheated on me and kicked me out of our apartment so the other girl could move in. I ate. I was addicted to sodas and Oreos. I have motivation problems. I have pains now that I'm so heavy so it's hard to move around a lot. I make excuses. A lot of them. I feel worthless a lot and feel as if even if I do lose the weight it won't matter because I've messed up my body so much already (morbidly obese since forever, I was always the fat kid).

    Mostly, excuses and not being able to deal with my problems and emotions so I put them into eating.

    Worked for a large food supply corporation when I was in my 20's. Went from restaurant to restaurant cooking and sampling food. I think the days we sampled cheesecakes all day did the most damage.

    Years of untreated gluten intolerance and genetics. I'm workin on it, but I just don't think I have the genes to be very lean, or a hard body.

    Best answer I have read! Regardless of genetics or just about anything else, I think this is/was the truth for just about everyone! I know it was for me!
    I'm fat because I eat poorly and do not exercise. I lack self-disciple and self-control with food.

    I can't stay away from fast food! And even though I need to workout at home, I can't motivate myself to do it.

    Panda express and strawberry muffins.

    Not at the same time of course.

    Fried potato products of all kinds, and allowing myself to believe that I cannot be properly relaxed unless I'm eating. Therefore whenever I crash out on the couch for some free time I feel like I need a serve of fast food or a large pack of chips/crisps (whatever you like to call them!) to enjoy it.

    Pasta, enough said. I'm part Italian we usually cook large meals. Being part Cuban doesn't help either lol

    Um... well, that would be because I am depressed. So I eat, and I sleep and I go to work. And that's about it. Thank God, my job is an active one, or it would be much, much worse.
