    I didn't care to maintain my weight after my first pregnancy, it got even worse after the second and I think I like to sabotage myself. I know it is crazy, but every time that I start a diet all I want to eat is chocolate and fries and I can't resist, but I do not try hard enough either.

    I love to cook, I love to eat and worst of all I use to use it as a comfort food when stressed (which is constantly)

    I was fat because of too many:

    - Take away pizzas
    - Take away fish and chips
    - Beer
    - Extra packs of crisps
    - Harribo gummy golden bears
    - Chocolate fingers
    - Jaffa cakes
    - Dounts

    Now I eat them in moderation, rather than mindlessly.

    I "was" fat because I ate anything I wanted, didnt exercise at all & would drink 8ltrs of coke a day every day for 16 years.

    I'm 'now' not fat because I stopped the coke 3 years ago, eat the right food & workout like crazy.

    Total turnaround & I love it.

    I'm fat because I ate too much high-calorie food and sat on my *kitten* too much.

    ...I love to cook, and no matter how you pimp up something that's good for you it's not as good looking as an unhealthy thing.

    I WAS fat because I'm a lazy binge drinking alcoholic. Now walking an unsteady tight rope of forced exercise and barely controlled self restraint. :-)

    Because I binge. I get a drug-like feeling from a binge that I can't duplicate with anything any better for me.

    I couldn't handle the attention I got from boys when I was growing up especially since I was a tomboy. Plus I used to eat like the boys I hung out with. I found myself at a point where the boys were few and I realised that I was in a long-term relationship with Carbs and sugar.

    ... I got lazy when I moved back home, and not doing any exercise didn't mesh well with my addiction to junk food. Oh pizza, how I love thee!

    although I eat very healthily, I have a major problem with portion control, not to mention a weakness for wine!

    In order of greatest to least:

    I eat too much food
    I drink too much booze
    I don't exercise enough
    I don't get enough sleep
    I am overstressed

    Simple as that.

    Because I was under the impression that everyone in the fitness world was a raging tard, and I wanted nothing to do with it for the first 27 years of my life. Now I've seen that only about half are retarded, and that's a good enough ratio for me.

    That and I liked video games way more than I liked weights...or not looking like Jabba the Hutt's stunt double. At least I never liked food much anyway, or I'd be in much worse shape than I am now.
    You'll be struck down with lightning using the words tard and retarded! There was another thread where someone used the same word and it got real nasty and personal. Good luck to you.

    I'm fat because I'm too short for my weight. No really, I eat compulsively and impulsively.

    because I was too lazy to workout and I ate way too much without caring. It's my fault I'm fat but its because of me I'm getting fit. :)

    I have spent a majority of my life not caring what happens to me or whether I'm healthy or not. I ate whatever I felt like without thinking about any of the consequences, and didn't bother to get out and be physically active to burn the calories I was consuming. On top of that, my genes, a medical condition that screws up my metabolism as well had some impact.. among other things. But at some point you just have to actually start to give a damn about yourself.
