Growing up was definitely too much junk food. The past few years it's been because of medications and the fact that I am chronically ill with Fibromyalgia. But I'm trying to beat it!0

Sloth and/or gluttony0

learning how to play video games and eat at the same time.
Before i learned to play video games I actually went outside more often0 -
I just learned today 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon. So a pie that's 44 grams of sugar, take a glass and put 11 teaspoons of sugar in. Doesn't take long to realize that's a LOT of SUGAR! Not healthy. A coke is about the same. When I'm nervous, I want to eat. That's crazy.0

Stress eating... The combination of a pint of ice cream or batch of cookie dough and an essay or test was (and is) my biggest enemy.
that's me!!! add in moving to a completely unfamiliar and unsafe part of town, and the fear of leaving the house because of it!!! i used to walk/exercise all the time til i moved to that crummy place! living like that with a lazy guy for almost 4 years, and i packed on a TON OF WEIGHT! so glad i've changed my life (and got rid of the guy!)0 -
Being lazy! Its so much easier not to exercise.0

eating too much too often.
poor diet.
poor eating habits.
poor activity level.
stress.
just all around being an unhealthy person. eating fast food a lot, cooking unhealthy meals and not caring how many calories i consumed, drinking a lot of alcohol then eating everything in sight!0 -
Socail eating - for sure. My lunch crew is a group of heavy eaters!0

Before I joined MFP, I lost 10 pounds just by cutting out 2 things. McDonalds food and sugary milk-based alcoholic beverages. Boy, that second one sure is a mouthful. Think homemade mudslides.
Edit: That took about 4-5 weeks.0 -
Not caring in the moment and regreting for the rest of the day, but continuing the cycle :sad:0

A general lack of health education. My family introduced me to foods like fried quesadillas and let me eat whatever I wanted and they didn't teach me the importance of physical activity.0

Alcohol and hangover food, this is how I spent 21-25.
Now I am just gluttonous.0 -
Stress eating, staying up late & doing homework and eating, and the convenience of fast food.0

my top 3 would have to be:
- my mom's a GREAT cook & baker
- no exercise
- too lazy to cook so lots of fast food0 -
I don't think it was just one thing...it was a multitude of things...partly because of diet coke, fast food, the birth of children (a long time ago), and not worrying about what I ate. Stress, boredom, thinking I was hungry...the list can go on...:ohwell:0

One big problem that attributed to my weight gain was portion control. My family would always push more food onto your plate, (because it was considered good hospitality) and you would always get told to not leave anything else you won t get desert, which was always placed in the middle of the table so you could get seconds or thirds.0

Orange juice. It sounds innocuous but it's too easy for me to drink my calories.0
