    Because when I was a child my parents never taught me about proper food choices and ate out all the time. As I got older I continued to eat in the manner that I had known as a kid, despite learning the proper ways through nutrition classes in health class. I continued to make bad food choices and loved the taste of food! Hell, I still love the taste of food! I now just have a better understanding of food and it's relationship in my life. It's there for my survival, not my emotional comfort!

    -Emotional eating
    -lack of exercise past grade school
    -too many 'quick fixes' where I lost a lot then gained that plus more back.
    -emotional eating
    -lazy
    -fat and out of shape gave me joint problems and poor cardio health, making it harder to exercise.
    -impulse and immediate satisfaction over long term happiness and health

    Its a vicious cycle and I'm fighting my way out of it.

    Because, I was lazy, selfish, addicted to food, depressed, and had no willpower... :(

    I would only eat once or twice a day.
    I would eat too much at dinner because I was starving by 7pm at night.
    I was unknowingly making myself sick by eating wheat products (I found out I have Celiac Disease).
    I was drinking too much caffiene and not enough water.

    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.

    Very well said.

    I adore food, I eat too much of it.
    I don't move enough.
    I don't digest easily.

    But I'm working on it! :)

    I can say things like "I stress eat." or "I wasn't active" or "I like pasta/potatoes too much."
    But really, what it comes down to is this....


    I made too many excuses to not make the good and correct decisions about my health for too long


    But not anymore!

    After I got out of school I had no reason to stay exercising, I didn't have practices I HAD to be at and participate in (I played sports year round in high school and college) and I continued eating as if I could eat what ever I wanted and not have to worry about it. I continued this way then I got pregnant and it was my excuse to eat what ever I wanted and OVER indulge as well. I am also an emotional eater. I get upset, bored, sad ect. I eat A LOT. It's a vicious never ending cycle.

    I love food and I love to eat it. Especially Taco Bell, I know a lot of people think it's nasty but I love it.
