Why are you overweight? - MiniMins.com

shrinkingannie · 16th September, 2008

If you had to give one reason what would it be??

I think for me its that I could never enjoy a treat without feeling guilty and that I had ruined the whole day - leading to overeating binging etc.

Starlit_Cazza · 16th September, 2008

Because I have had no self control

sue121 · 16th September, 2008

because i have eaten rubbish basically and not treated my body very well.. and been very blinkered as 2 how i really looked...wow did i get a shock wen some1 took a pic of me from behind!!! WIDE LOAD came 2 mind lol ... so i have made this resolve to get rid of this horrid fat (and cos the hubby booked a hol for next year dont wanna look like shamoo ) and i suppose cos i miss out on lots of things id like to do but miss out cos of embarasment about my size

Charisma · 16th September, 2008

self abuse and punishment

squidgster · 16th September, 2008

I have never eaten all that badly - no binge eating, and not excessive amounts of 'bad' food by any means, but for years have eaten just too much quantity wise at meal times. The biggest problem for me was that being combined with a lack of exercise, and also a lack of motivation to do anything about my slowly increasing weight.

IrishMum · 16th September, 2008

Because I spent most of my life on a 'diet', and allowed food to totally control my life- simple as that. No more though!!...I am the ruler of my life- not food! LOL!

minime · 16th September, 2008

Because I stupidly starting dieting at 17 even though I wasn't fat, just thought I was. That was the start of yo-yo dieting for me and why I'm now so overweight.

gettingtogoal · 16th September, 2008

Because I relied on fast food instead of cooking my own meals and ate whatever I fancied without thinking about it!

That however is no more....lol

totty · 16th September, 2008

i have big bones

LOL...wouldnt that be a good excuse

just over eating ...thats all

Georgiestar · 16th September, 2008

eating the wrong food or eating too much and hardly ever bothering to weigh myself, in the end the mirror worked and listening to my grandmother warning me, I guess she felt a bit guilty..

andhow · 16th September, 2008

eating the same size portions as my 6'4 husband (I'm 5'2"!!), stopping exercising regularly (gave up hockey and basketball) and generally didn't keep an eye on what i was doing. All change now!

Silence · 16th September, 2008

a mixture of emotional eating, laziness and bad food choices.

nadhak · 16th September, 2008

I lived my life for other people not for myself!
Of course I was taken advantage of - so what did i do? I ate and I ate and I ate!
What a horrible place it was -I have lovely caring people around me now and the users are all dumped!
I am living MY Life xx

xowee-shortieox · 16th September, 2008

Moving in with the boyfriend, Therefore becoming lazy and not cooking proper meals and getting addicted to coke (the drink)
