    I am fat because I ate WAY too much (oh yeah, and developed hyperthyroidism without realizing it until I'd gained 80 lbs).

    i am fat because i enjoy all foods... fatty, healthy, sugary, etc. i enjoy them all and love them all equally. i indulge just as much if not more on healthy choices than i do on the unhealthy at times. LOL
    Um you're not fat baby.

    You name it, I'm probably guilty of it. Overindulgence of sugar & carbs. CHEESE. Lack of exercise. Emotional eating. Beer. Not liking myself much. Thinking I could get away with it. BEER. Boredom. Unconscious eating (munchies). Cheese. No one's fault but my own, though!

    Never learned as a kid what healthy eating was and being in active was the norm in my family. I was lazy and didn't know when to stop eating.

    Emotional eating, more specific sugars and carbohydrates which would further cause me to emotional eat. Once I cut those out it was clear sailing.
  • I LOVE FOOD, and it DOESN'T like me lol....but I'm going to win this war

    I am fat because I love sweets. Little Debbie and Hostess were my BFF!! And who knew pop/soda made me retain water?? And bread - mmmmmmm. And convenience foods. LAZY *kitten*!!! and probably many more reasons.

    I'm not fat anymore, but I got fat because I didn't get enough exercise and didn't adjust to my body's changing needs as I got older. And also because I got too lazy to cook healthy meals from scratch. We were eating out too often and eating way too much "meal in a bag" type food at home.

    Because I'm unhappy when I'm overweight and I eat when I'm unhappy. Because I was underfed for the first several years of my life and overfed after my Grandma saved me from my bio-mom. Because I got depressed after my miscarriages. Because it seemed safer to have a "blanket of fat" protecting me from the world.

    I ate unhealthy
    I didn't work out
    I became too comfortable in relationships & let myself go
    I got lazy
    I am fat because of nobody but myself.

    Change is on the way, because "I am a work in progress!"

    because i was skinny, and ate whatever i want.. and then, while skinny, at age 24.. i had two strokes from blood clots that went to the brain due to a blocked artery... when i was bed ridden for almost a year while recovering from the strokes.. i became over weight.

    Skinny doesnt mean healthy! Now, im getting healthy! =)

    I like to eat, I went years without my thyroid meds, I skip meals and then binge alll at once and eat a ton, and I ate crap only for years. A lot of factors go into getting this fat. Also, 3 babies in 4 years.
  • I was a lazy emotional eater. Food was my source of hope? Not anymore though...haha I conquer!

    I *WAS* fat because didn't match my calorie/macronutrient intake to my activity level.

    because I ate too much when I was hungry;
    ate too much when I was not hungry,
    ate when I was bored,
    ate when I was happy,
    ate when I was unhappy,
    ate when I was depressed,
    ate just for spite (gee, wonder who that was hurting!),
    bottom line -- ate too much and sat around on my butt too much! :yawn: :laugh: :angry: :angry: :cry: :devil:
  • When I ate something bad, I get obsessive of it.. I am trying to resist it since I want to lose 9 lbs but I'm also worried I'm going to get too comfortable and gain it right back..
