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/0 -
eating up to 4000-5000 calories per day for a long *kitten* time0

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.0 -
Pregnancy at first. I gained 50 lbs with my first pregnancy. Didn't know how to get it off, tried so many fad diets hoping for a quick fix. Within a week would be so miserable, hungry and discouraged that I would just quit & binge. I also put on a lot of weight when breastfeeding, it makes me insanely hungry. This past year I've put on 20 lbs. I'm also a huge stress/emotional eater. Oh, and I'd say soda definitely helped put MANY of the lbs on. The past few years I barely drank any water. I had at least 6 cans of soda per day!0

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.0

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!0

Stress and drinking too much to cope with the stress. Thank god I just don't crave it anymore.0

It was a three-step process.
Step 1 - stuff food into my mouth
Step 2 - stuff more food into my mouth
Step 3 - repeat steps one and two0 -
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 7/80

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.0
