What made you fat?

When I was 18-24 I lived in a one room apartment that didn't have a working freezer or oven. In addition it was in the middle of town with take away options all around. So I ate to much.
When I moved to somewhere with a kitchen those bad habits stayed with me for another 4 years before I started cooking food and eating regular meals.0 -
Eating a little too much for a long time.0

40 years of carb abuse.

For me it started when my uncle used to literally by me all sorts of candy every day along with a 1 liter of soda. Also my mom, being from the south, cooked fried chicken A LOT. All of that plus little to no knowledge about diet or nutrition at time along with eating anything I wanted whenever I wanted.0

Laziness and greed.0

Drinking a lot of alcohol for 25 years and eating junk afterwards.0

Lying manufacturers and their inaccurately reported nutritional information made me fat.
I wish the USDA would make manufacturers honest!0 -
Graduate school. Food was always an emotional thing for me, but until graduate school I managed to stay both physically fit and a healthy weight. And then I went to graduate school, and doing anything except studying-reading-writing seemed somehow like a waste of time. And then there was the emotional eating that went through the roof. And straight to my butt.0

Originally got fat when I was a child right after my parents divorced, got it under control as a teen, but didn't know nutrition and ballooned up the minute I moved out on my own being lazy and eating crap, I think I have finally figured it out now... I hope.0

I was never fat, thank god for my metabolism, but my parents didn't have restrictions on what I could eat or when so I developed very unhealthy eating habits! Chocolate for breakfast? Sure. 3 bags of crisps in one sitting? Knock yourself out. It was a food free-for-all0

cakes.. lots and lots of it..

Getting a car all those years ago definitely contributed to my fatness. Before, i would think "Mcdonalds' sounds good. But i don't wanna take a bus and then transfer and then come back. Thats a long trip. And i'm not gonna walk 3 miles! I'll just get it later".
After i got a car "hey. It'll be a 20 minute round trip and i don't even have to use my legs!" Fatness came easy
Definitely same for me. I had to bike to get to nearest food joint and that always deterred me. As soon as I got a car though, the drive in at Wendy's was always an option! #2, medium fry and a few other things every week to binge on. Oh and I got no exercise.0 -
Thinking I could eat whatever I wanted, because I run lots of miles. You can't out train a bad diet.0
