Me? My sedentary lifestyle. I didn't have body/weight issues back then but when I started working home based, I also started having problems with maintaining a healthy weight and getting rid of those unwanted fats.

The main culprit? ME6

Ignorance.. about what I was eating and how it was affecting my body. The change to a ketogenic way of eating (LCHF) has changed how I view and need food.

Eating too much, especially fatty foods. I was oblivious to the enormous amount of calories that can be packed into such a small serving, so being a volume eater didn't help.5

Desk job, sugar, wine.3

In the past, when I went from being overweight to obese, it took place at a time when gym/PE was no longer required as a part of my classes. On top of that, I was eating more. Moving less and eating more packed on the pounds.
I knew I wanted and needed to lose weight (pediatrician always recommended weight loss at annual checkups), but I did not have enough tools, knowledge, and desire to make anything happen.2 -

Before I started getting treatment, I was self medicating with alcohol, pizza, and cheeseburgers. Weight loss has been relatively easy after regaining the desire to take care of myself.5 -
