I WAS fat because I ate like *kitten*, noone to blame but me0

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.0 -
I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL AND I LOVE CARBS0

Stress, portion size and menopause! Put on 30 pounds over the past three years.0

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.0 -
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.0

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.0 -
I'm fat because I am an emotional eater and I love to eat and eat and eat and I was too lazy to work out ! ! ! !

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!0 -
I am fat because I eat the house down and then exercise till it hurts several times a day but it doesnt even out the calories which consist of sugar and starch. (getting better tough)0

Like most, I WAS fat, because of my greedy gluttony and laziness.0
-
I drink and/or go out to eat at least once a week.
Basically it's the way I spend my social life that needs tweaking I think.0 -
because i'm hypothyroid and went undiagnosed and untreated for over 4 years, my house burnt down and i almost died and i went quite a while without eating anything, then eating a lot, back and forth... and i had two kids 15 months apart.0

-ate unhealthy
-didn't work out
-became too comfortable in relationships & let myself go
^^^ This. Exactly this.
ME TOO, EXACTLY0 -
It never occurred to me that a serving of macaroni and cheese might be less than 2 cups.
This was my problem too! lol :laugh:0 -
I had a bad day at work! So now I'm going to drink a bottle of wine, have a frozen pizza, and eat cheesecake until I feel like I'm going to throw up.0

mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, taco bell, chipotle, sonic, dairy queen, chik fil a, starbucks.... LOL0

i am fat because I'm addicted to food. a smoker can never smoke again, gambler never needs to gamble again.... but a food addict, how can you not eat ?
I am fat because I've spent too much time saying i couldn't find the time to exercise
i am fat because my husbands thinks french fries are a veggie, biscuits with sausage gravy is a rounded meal, and begs for burger king.
I am fat because its easier to be fat than work to be thin.0 -
I resent the premise......
The first thing to do is to like yourself and not put yourself down.
To me that statement is a put down.
I suggest you join MFP to change your lifestyle and get healthy and NOT because you feel FAT. For that feeling you need to seek counsel elsewhere!
ps. I guess I'm also taking issue with the CAPS in the statement0
