I AM FAT BECAUSE.......

1) because I was LAZY! Too lazy to cook a proper meal so fast food was a staple in my house. Makes me sick to think of how much fast food I used to eat. Never again. Haven't eaten at a fast food restaurant in almost 2 years even though I live 5 houses away from McDonalds, Pizza Pizza, Little Ceasars, KFC Chinese and Subway. YUCK

2) I LOVE FOOD.

3) I Hated exercise....Hated being past tense. Love it now.

I was fat because.... I ate the wrong foods, too much of them and sat on my *kitten* too much. Period.

I am fat because I had binge eating disorder.

I would almost kill for a chocolate bar..... wait, I have killed.... squirrels, groundhogs, and even butterflies that were in my path while on the way to the store to feed my chocolate habit....

This is a true story

I have sat and pondered this question many times. As I would like to be able to blame my parents for the start of it, for not letting me do sports (but of course my brother was allowed and was the best football in the school) , I have realized that I can't continue to blame them anymore, I moved out with my new born when I was 16 and since then it's been my problem. I am def. an emotional eater, not feeling like I was treated the same as my other siblings... already fat and made fun of, i ate my problems, and when that didn't work, i resorted to drugs and sex... the reason I got pregnant so young. I am learning to fight through that and realize, that I AM the reason, that is what I chose to do, and you know what? I DO NOT CHOSE THAT ANYMORE! I'm learning to eat healthy, and my 5 year old loves to work out with me, my fiance is even on board now! and I couldn't be happier.

I am a major carbaholic. I would rather have a box of crackers, a block of cheese, something crunchy over anything. I'm not a sugar person. It's very hard, mind over matter. That's why I count out my crackers then it goes away & I try to pick healthier crackers such as brown rice crackers especially because I can have like 30 of them. I pretty much stay away from bread unless it's the ligher whole grain breads. It's not the same but it's a good substitute. You can do it. Mind over matter. Allow yourself to have those things you love maybe 1 or 2 days a week, just don't go overboard. It will be more like a reward then and you won't feel deprived. I hope this helps. It has helped me. LOL

Because I ate my emotions instead of dealing with them.......And unfortunately a salad wasn't my comfort food.

I ate a lot of junk and didn't exercise = I got fat.

My parents made a big deal out of weight as they have issues themselves. Also PCOS.

I have a horrible habit of soda pop and that's my number 1 deal breaker. But the junk food, ice cream and eating whatever with zero exercise does not help either. Well today is day #2 of this new breaking calories in half - I just hope it don't break me in half lol

It doesn't help that I'm hypoglycemic too

I used my physical injuries as justification to avoid exercise, ate like crap and subsequently fell into long term depression. Also changed jobs away from shift work where I had a ton of free time and opportunity to move around, to a sedentary 9-5 desk job .
