    beacuse I am a Chef. Yes their are skinny Chef's out there, but it is truly my passion to develop new and exciting foods and of course I have to try these. Instead of just trying them I would eat the whole thing. Sometimes doing this a few times a day plus meals. Also I dont have the spare time to exercise, and when I do all I wanted was a break.

    Because I can't stop eating chips and surgar and fried food. No more of that for me. It's only Jimmy John's and Subway from now on. :)

    I am fat because I can't seem to get into a work out program. I am not sure what foods to avoid.

    I have no self control when it comes to eating fast food, I just couldnt say no, ever.

    I eat in large quantities. I cant just eat a small portion.

    For the most part I have eaten very good my whole life, its just about portion control with me - i HAD none.

    I do now though, cuz I am in the process of changing my life. My habits. My health!

    Because my parents spanked me when I was little, because I was emotionally traumatized by moving every 2 years as a kid, because it rained one day when I wanted to go for a picnic. I'm not fat, I'm a victim........


    Oh sorry, back to reality.......because I ate too much and exercised too little. No one held a gun to my head and made me eat that second piece of pie...........



    This made me chuckle! ;)

    I am fat because I ate like pure and total unhealthiness and I didn't keep track of it. I let it get totally out of control.

    I am fat and unhappy. Well, now I'm taking back me.

    Almost 40 lbs later, I'm not so fat and I'm not nearly so unhappy :happy:

    In fact, now I'm a size 6 (sometimes still an 8). I'm feeling pretty small most days.

    I don't think I'm fat at all now.

    I am fat because

    1) I really, really enjoy my sweets and coke
    2) I would always find an excuse to not work out
    3) I have no self control when it comes to eating.

    I have had two children, the second was a c-section which layed me up for a bit, then I had a major back injury which eventually led to surgery. Of course I suffered not being able to exercise for 30 years AND I LOVE food. I have no self control but I am working on it.

    Not blaming it ALL on my parents, but I didn't know anything about nutrition. They were really, really poor, and we ate hamburger helper every day of the week. Once a month, if my dad wasn't too drunk, he would cook steak, potatoes, fried shrimp, and velveeta shells and cheese. Very occasionally we would have spaghetti. I had never been exposed to any vegetables besides potatoes, corn, carrots, and green beans, all out of cans. I thought mac and cheese was a vegetable until I became an adult.

    Also, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 11. I started treatment for it when I was 22. My parents never put me on the meds, and I didn't think that it would matter all that much. By 16, I was almost 200 pounds, gaining a steady 20 pounds A YEAR for 5 years. By 21 I was 250 pounds (at this point, I tried in vain to change my eating habits, but I didn't know anything about food!). Once I started taking the medicine, with no lifestyle change, I was at least able to maintain my weight.

    When I was 19 I was diagnosed with PCOS. The doctor didn't know very much about it, and didn't tell me anything. She recommended birth control, but I was TTC so I didn't take it.

    Now I have a good doctor who has my dosage right for my thyroid and has me on good, non-BC meds for my PCOS. The weight is really starting to move.

    I don't discount my own hand in this- eating bad foods and not moving enough. But I gained so much weight as a child that exercise was like punishment and it was embarrassing. I didn't know what it could do for me. I am responsible for not being more proactive in my health issues, but I just didn't know what they were. The doctors did a poor job of helping me past "you should take this pill and start losing weight". It was a very turbulent time for my body.

    Calories in exceeded calories out :(

    Too many lifestyle changes over the last ten years that were all negative for me in the long run.

    Changing those things up now! :)
