how you got fat?

How you got fat?

If that is not the silliest question ever. Obviously, I ate food. Good tasting food, loaded with calories and sodium, oh, and soda, pop, fizzy drinks or whatever you may call it. I use to double fist the old Mt. Dew cans, sometimes a Mt. Dew IV. Oh and donuts, God, those are good! Oh, and candy, I blame it on Halloween as a kid, you go door to door, ringing the bell, and somebody gives you candy, sometimes lots, and it was freeee!
Not to mention McDonald's and Burger King. I am thinking about suing those two SOB's for making such delicious food. If it wasn't for them, oh and wait, it's television, I watched so much programming growing up, I didn't have time for exercise. Wait, wait, I will blame video games, I sat playing to many video games.
No, I know what it was, it was college, all the partying and alcohol, and the stress, I gained the freshman 15 times 4, yeah thats it.
No, it's because I got married, and settled down.

(insert sarcasm anywhere)

same here. LOL

By not eating breakfast or lunch, and having a massive carb tea almost daily.

cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger [...]

i basically told myself, "ill start the diet ting tomorrow," every freaking day. also the stress with the exams at school didn't help.

Gained 50 during my pregnancy. Had postpartum and continued to eat for 2. I've only lost 3 lbs... but it's finally happening.

Mine piled on after high school. I wasnt cheerleading anymore and didnt realize how important it was to stay active. I was in an abusive relationship and lost all belief in myself. My life got better as I got married(not to the abusive DB, but a nice guy), got my bachelor's and eventually had 2 beautiful boys, but the weight has just stuck around. So now 15 years later I am ready to shed this baggage!!!
I have hypothroidism which makes losing more challenging, but I am willing to fight for what I want and deserve!! \m/

Heavy foods, especially cheese and pastry...
-Macaroni cheese
-Cheese-laden pizza
-Belly pork
-Cream and custard
-White pre-sliced bread- and lots of!
-Pies and puddings
-Tart
-Old-fashioned puds
-Cream based everything

I still have all of the above, but in moderation and instead of masses of cheese and pepperoni on a pizza, I have less pizza, more salad and vegetables on top. I've learnt to balance my diet and have more nutrients in it.

Depression and a cripplingly low self-esteem, paired with living off the food from possibly the worst version of a 'charity food bank' ever - highly processed junk food, almost exclusively. I was 14/15 at the time, and not actually 'fat' - well within healthy ranges, but not as skinny and well-muscled as I had been up until that point. The depression just made things worse over the years and I DID end up actually gaining 30ish lbs. to arrive to where I am now, at 23. It just keeps creeping up with every passing year that I DON'T take action and stick with it.

Marital separation was a contributor, but not putting myself first and laziness was really the culprit. I don't blame anyone else and that's why I chose to get fit and healthy again!

Stress and drinking too much to cope with the stress. Thank god I just don't crave it anymore.

Once I hit 31, had kids,ate their leftovers, buying them snacks (ate those too), then it grew into a "portion control" issue. Not that I ate the wrong foods, I ate too much food . I was ok at 20 when I had my 1st kid, I bounced right back to a size 7/8

A twisted view on food.

I would eat desert for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was picky to the extreme. Then there was days where I wuld eat nothing at all and broke the 'fast' by eating an entire store bought pizza that I covered in so much cheese that the fat was dripping from it.

TL;DR
Thinking making food from scratch would take to long time and be to hard so I made 'easy' and bad choices.
