Why are you fat???

Cause im lazy disgusting muppet. Simple......:(

I've always been a bit of a lard *kitten*, I guess I have always eaten too much! ;-P

I was always on the higher end of the "healthy" BMI, but I began gaining weight when I stopped horseback riding/went to college. It's so strange going from never having to think about how much you are eating when you are burning it off without trying. Now I have to try... and I didn't realize it until too late haha.

I emotionally eat. Back in 2001, tragic things happened that year and I found comfort in food. I fattened up and despite all of my exercise I never went back to being lean. I continued eating and being fat. I'm finally decided to lose weight and be a healthier me

Too much cake and pizza! I am/was an emotional eater, food to celebrate, food to commiserate. A very active ex who could eat like a horse and loved sweets didn't help either. My weight slowly crept up and up over the last couple of years and I made half assed attempts to exercise or diet. I've never been thin or fit (bar school and playing lots of netball)

I am fat because its the thing to do. Someones birthday? Hey! Lets go out to eat! The fair is in town? Oh! They have great fried food. Christmas? Lets have Christmas dinner at so&so's house because she is cooking (fill in meal). Bowling? Hey they have great pizza and lots of beer there. Haven't seen a friend in forever? Hey! Meet me at (fill in restaraunt). Toddler wants a cookie? Finish your food first.

Our world revolves around meals and food and the comfort they bring.

I ate too much and did not exercise!

Tatyana said it best.

I have a bunch of excuses but no good ones.

I am fat because I made bad choices. I was on some medicines and I wasn't willing to adjust my lifestyle and choices. I am the reason I am fat.

It came on me slowly. I have a sedentary job and I sit all day but metabolizism does slow with age and on my last doctor visit my thyroid was functioning on the low side. The real problem is as things changed with my body or activity I did not alter my eating habits. I provide food for 9 people and to keep the budget low I have to buy less exspensive food and saidly the least expensive foods can be more fatty and saltly. I always have bought good food but with the amount of mouths to feed meals like hamburger helper and other pasta meals and meals with rice do go a long way for less $$$$. So there is less of the good for you food on the plate if at all.

I would say lack of consistancy and inability to alter to fit my needs is why i am fat. And as I get fatter i get lazier.

It is changing now I am tired of being fat and they can just have smaller more healthy options along with me.

i graduated high school, was lazy then got married and had 2 kids and continued to be lazy but for the sake of my kids im trying to become an active healthy person so they learn good habits.

I lost 60lbs, then got pregnant..30 more to go! Just need to stop being lazy!

Complacency?

I think I just accepted the weight as it came on and stereotyped myself as the non-athletic type. Who was there to play with anyway? Adults don't do such things....or so I may have believed. EVERYONE goes out to dinner though. Enough of that and some BBQ's can certainly add some pounds over the years.

I used to be teeny tiny and only a size 8, then I started eating loads of fatty foods, stopped going to dance classes and quit the gym. The full fat products were piling up...and so were my fat rolls! I'm aiming to get back to a healthy BMI and down to a size 8 again!

I have joined weight watchers in the past, would you say that this is similar because it keeps track of your limits? Just curious.

I'm not :P I gained some weight though after changing my contraception and becoming a student :P.
